Rising
Awareness about Benefits of Probiotics Stokes Demand
The
global probiotics market is witnessing a steady upswing on account of
the rising awareness among consumers about its health benefits. “The
improvement in digestive health resulting from probiotics will
underpin their demand in the next couple of years. The increasing
uptake of functional foods and role of probiotics in thwarting
bacterial vaginosis, urinary tract infection, and yeast infection
among women are some of the other factors leading to their
consumption. Probiotics help lower pH levels and this helps in
improving the interstitial microbial balance. The improved bowel
movements and enhanced nutrient absorption brought about by the
consumption of probiotics will also prove beneficial to the market,”
explains the lead analyst of the report.
Supermarkets
and Hypermarkets Serve to Boost Sales
Serving
to hinder probiotics market, on the flipside, is the lack of
standardization. However, the emergence of ready-made functional
drinks will help to overcome such challenges by inducing growth. “The
convenience offered and ease of availability will generate tremendous
profits for market players in the coming years,” adds the lead
analyst. Further, supermarkets, hypermarkets, and convenience stores
are also serving to boost uptake.
