Prebiotic ingredients offer several health benefits as they help in maintaining the overall gut health and aid in the prevention of Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders.
There is an increasing demand for prebiotics ingredients in the food and beverages sector, specifically for the use in dairy products. Increasing R&D by key companies to introduce novel prebiotic ingredients, such as xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS), will add to the growth of this market.
Fructo-Oligosaccharide (FOS) and inulin ingredients have a high demand due to the capability of these ingredients to enhance the food texture and increasing requirement for products with low calories. On the other hand, demand for Mannan-Oligosaccharides (MOS) is rendered by the escalating demand from animal feed sector across the globe.
The global prebiotics market finds application in several industries, such as food and beverages, dietary supplements, and animal feed. Food and beverages application accounted for more than 80.0% of the global share in 2016. This growth is attributed to the extensive usage of these ingredients in dairy products followed by cereals.
There has been an increasing trend of adding prebiotics during the production of cheese and fermented milk, which is also boosting the segment growth. Moreover, easy availability and accessibility of dairy products will further enhance the segment development over the forecast period. Europe region led the global prebiotics market, in terms of revenue and volume, in 2016.
Germany is one of the advanced countries with higher technological sophistication and rapidly growing food and beverages sector. On the other hand, Asia Pacific is anticipated to record the fastest CAGR of more than 10.2% over the forecast period.
