(PharmaNewsWire.Com, May 17, 2017 ) Probiotics are microorganisms that, on consumption, exert a positive effect on the health of human beings and animals. These products have been gaining interest among many since the 1990s. Lately, probiotics are also being referred by doctors worldwide to combat issues like digestive problems, bowel irregularities, and weak immune system. The most common type of microbes used at a commercial level for the introduction of products and applications in the market are lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and Bifidobacterium.
Technavios analysts forecast the global probiotics market to grow at a CAGR of 7.01% during the period 2017-2021.
Probiotics prevent the growth of harmful bacteria inside the digestive tract, leading to an improvement in nutrition absorption and bowel movements and interstitial microbial balance by lowering the pH levels. Additionally, probiotic supplements increase the Lactobacilli count in women and prevent diseases like bacterial vaginosis, yeast infection, and urinary tract infection. Moreover, probiotic yogurt is also associated with the reduction of risks of cancer in the colon, bladder, and breast up to almost 35% and also reduces dental caries, prevents oral candida infections, and manages periodontitis.
One of the latest trends that will gain traction in the probiotics market in the coming years is the increasing demand from the aging population. Due to the low immunity associated with aging, the older population is more prone to digestive disorders and other illnesses and the population is more health conscious, which will increase the demand for probiotic products. Additionally, it has also been observed that the consumption of chocolate biscuits containing probiotics for a month would result in an increase in the count of the beneficial microorganisms in the gut that tends to decline with age, which will again increase the demand for probiotic products among the aging population.
The market is divided into the following segments based on geography: Americas APAC EMEA
