EU Regulations Mandate Verification of Potential Health Benefits Offered by Probiotic Products

Lack of Standardization to Restrict Growth of Global Probiotic Market 

The growing awareness about the role of probiotic in gut health has aided the growth of the global probiotic market. Highly efficient healthy bacteria strains from probiotic such as Lactobacillus fermentum and Lactobacillus rhamnosus optimize the gut flora and prevent diseases such as diabetes, obesity, depression, and others. The growing consumption of functional food and the launch of new functional food products by the market players have further supported the market’s growth.

However, the lack of standardization in the probiotic industry, in terms of enzyme concentration, is expected to hamper the growth of the market during the forecast period. The overall market has a significant opportunity to grow across the emerging economies with the rising awareness about the benefits of probiotics. “The ban on the usage of antibiotics in animal feed and the development of probiotics in new application areas hold immense growth opportunities for the market,” a TMR analyst points out. 

The global probiotic market is estimated to expand at a CAGR of 7.40% during the period between 2014 and 2020. The market was worth US$62.6 bn in 2014 and is expected to reach a valuation of US$96.0 bn by 2020. 

The global market for probiotics is fueled by a number of forces such as the efficiency of the probiotics bacteria, the growing awareness among people regarding the improvement of digestive health, and the rising consumption of functional foods. The increasing demand for probiotics in emerging economies and efforts to raise the level of awareness regarding the benefits of probiotics among consumers hold immense opportunities for players. In contrast, the lack of standardization in the probiotics market is a major hurdle that companies need to overcome.
