The global prebiotics market is on a significant upward trajectory, projected to grow from $6.95 billion in 2023, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.37% during the forecast period.
Inulin, a key ingredient in this market, represents the largest share and is expected to experience the fastest growth, primarily due to its widespread use in functional foods and beverages and its health benefits.
Adults form the most extensive consumer base for prebiotics, and their segment is expected to grow fastest. This growth can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, a deeper penetration of prebiotics in the market, and a growing understanding of their health benefits among adults.
The rise in health-conscious consumers, mainly those interested in prebiotics and probiotics for food manufacturing, is another key growth driver. Chicory, a significant source of inulin, is widely used in various food products due to its gelling properties and non-digestibility by gut enzymes, making it suitable for diabetic-friendly foods.
Post-COVID-19, there has been a surge in demand for foods that boost immunity and improve gut health. GOS and FOS are popular choices in dairy products, bakery items, beverages, sweets, and nutraceuticals.
In summary, the global prebiotics market is growing rapidly, driven by increasing health awareness, consumption of functional foods, and the development of innovative prebiotic-enriched products catering to diverse consumer needs.
KEY HIGHLIGHTS:
