The Latin America, Middle East and Africa Probiotics Market would witness market growth of 11.5% CAGR during the forecast period (2018 – 2024).
Adverse effects of large amounts of antibiotic consumption have been reported, requiring additional supplementation of hospitable bacteria into the body. Some of these bacteria have also developed antibiotic-resistant characteristics and thus do not respond to the antibiotics consumed. It is therefore important to replenish such bacteria in the body, thus nucleating targeted bacterial strain consumption. A larger chunk of such antibiotic-based population has absorbed the importance of probiotic supplements and has begun to consume them. In the last decade, antibiotic consumption has shown a significant increase in BRICS countries; in these countries, some antibiotics are available over the counter. Probiotic supplement manufacturers have also implemented a proactive approach in these countries and have invested in marketing activities. Collectively, these factors are expected to support global demand for probiotic supplements around the globe.
