Probiotics are live microorganisms like bacteria and yeast, which are ingested or administered in the body to prevent and treat certain health conditions. These conditions include curing diarrhea, constipation, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), yeast infections, urinary tract infections, gum disease, lactose intolerance, eczema, upper respiratory infections, and sepsis. Probiotics aid in weight loss, improving digestion, strengthening the immune function, and obtaining healthy skin. As a result, probiotics are added to different drugs, beverages, food products and dietary supplements that are consumed around the world.

Probiotics Market Trends:
There is present a considerable increase in the prevalence of lifestyle and chronic diseases globally. Consequently, there is a rise in the adoption of preventive healthcare, involving annual check-ups, immunizations, flu shots and the consumption of dietary supplements, among individuals on account of the development of efficient probiotic strains. This represents one of the key factors driving the market. Moreover, governments of several countries are implementing stringent regulations to use probiotics in nutraceuticals and nutricosmetics across the globe. This, coupled with the increasing utilization of probiotics in infant products, is propelling the growth of the market. In addition, the rising demand for probiotics as an immunity booster to offer robust protection against gastrointestinal pathogens and promote the production of natural antibodies in the body is positively influencing the market. Besides this, the increasing popularity of strains as a natural, cost-effective, and safe substitute for pharmacological solutions is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors.
