(Food-Beverage-News.Com, November 14, 2017 ) The Global Probiotic Dietary Supplement Market was worth USD 3.54 billion in 2016, and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.4%, to reach USD 5.06 billion by 2021. Probiotics are microorganisms which provide certain health benefits upon consumption. The health benefits include anti-inflammation, improved immunity in adults etc. Some of the microorganisms function by balancing the number of organisms in intestines. Probiotic dietary supplements consist of several probiotic strains to prevent or treat diseases.
Antibiotics are increasingly used recently. The problem with antibiotics is that they kill both disease causing bacteria as well as the bacteria which are beneficial to humans. Intake of probiotics through supplements helps to replenish the lost bacteria. Probiotic dietary supplements are also used by athletes for enhanced nutritional supply and infants to meet their dietary requirements.
Excessive use of antibiotics in everyday life has resulted in the increase in demand for probiotic supplements. Increasing digestive disorders in infants and adults, high emphasis on research and development to produce innovative products and advanced delivery systems like capsules are expected to drive the market. However, lack of awareness among people in many countries and high prices of products are hindering the market growth.
