Dublin, Oct. 24, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Prebiotics: Ingredients, Applications and Global Markets" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

This Global Market for Prebiotics is Estimated to Reach Nearly $6.0 Billion in 2022 from $3.5 Billion in 2017 at a CAGR of 11.1% for 2017-2022.

The global prebiotics market is significantly growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.1% during this report's forecast period of 2017 to 2022. However, the regional markets for prebiotic products display some variations.

In North America and Europe, the prebiotic markets in these regions are growing slower at 9.4% and 10.8%, respectively, due to the product nearing its life cycle maturity and saturation. Awareness regarding prebiotics and their applications, and implementing their use in the production of food, beverages, food and dietary supplements, and feed additives are the primary factors for the declining demand of prebiotic products in these two regions.

The largest numbers of patents for prebiotic products are listed from these two regions, which is also a proper indication of the market's maturity in Europe and North America. However, volatile economic growth is also curbing the market for prebiotics. The Asia-Pacific and southern Asia, and the Latin America and Middle East regions are the emerging markets for prebiotics during the forecast period. In Asia-Pacific, the most emerging markets are the strongest economic countries among developing countries, India and China.

High population growth, high demand of better lifestyles of people, and increasing health concerns fueled by rising disposable income are forcing the prebiotics market upward during the forecast period. In Asia, Japan holds the largest number of patents in prebiotics products. This is enhancing the Japanese and Chinese food and chemical manufacturers to expand their businesses in this region.
