Prebiotic Ingredients Market Size, Share, Report 2023-2032 (2024)

Prebiotic Ingredients MarketSize and Growth 2023 to 2032

The global prebiotic ingredients market was valued at USD 7.15 billion in 2022 and it is predicted to be worth around USD 22.71 billion by 2032, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.30% from 2023 to 2032.

• Asia-Pacific region has garnered 44% revenue share in 2022.
• Cereals segment accounted largest revenue share of 40% in 2022.

The expanding importance of nutraceutical goods, which have become a staple in consumer’s dietary planning, is credited for this growth. Prebiotic substances are in high demand, especially in the food and beverage business, as consumers become more conscious of the need of living a healthy lifestyle. During the COVID-19 epidemic, there has been an increase in demand for prebiotics. Prebiotics are carbohydrates that are not digested by digestive enzymes and acids and support the growth and function of beneficial bacteria in the human intestine. They improve intestinal barrier function, immune system strength, reduce gastric inflammation, improve overall gastrointestinal health, reduce the risk of diarrhoea, increase calcium absorption and increase bone density, Reduces risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Studies show that over 1,300 foods and beverages contain prebiotic ingredients. These are used by manufacturers in various end-use sectors to create low-calorie products that drive the growth of prebiotic ingredients. The prebiotic ingredient market is expected to grow as the demand for healthy diets containing prebiotic ingredients increases. In addition, increasing global demand for dairy products is expected to have a significant impact on the prebiotic ingredients market. Increasing the multifunctional use of prebiotic ingredients in various industries is expected to create untapped opportunities for market players from 2023 to 2032.

Growth Factors

The size of the prebiotic food and beverage application market is expected to increase by almost 6.5% over the expected time frame. Increasing health concerns and increasing demand for functional foods such as almonds, fruit juices and soybean can drive business development. These are commonly used in drinks like kefir for immune regulation and lowering cholesterol. Spreading and raising awareness of prebiotics as a dietary supplement ingredient. These two points serve as the main drivers of growth for this market. In recent years, the trend towards prebiotics has been to incorporate these ingredients into foods and beverages. This has resulted in prebiotic ingredients market being the largest food and beverage segment in 2022. Increased lactose intolerance such as gastric spasm, flatulence, nausea and gas diarrhoea will boost demand for prebiotics. Furthermore, since 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak had a beneficial impact on overall prebiotic component increase. Because of increased health awareness and consumer comprehension of prebiotic advantages, prebiotic ingredients are in high demand in the dietary supplement and food and beverage industries.

Report Scope of thePrebiotic Ingredients Market

Type Insights

Fructo-oligosaccharide

Plant sugars are joined in chains to form fructo-oligosaccharides. They're derived from Jerusalem artichokes, soybeans and asparagus or they're created in a lab. These sugars are used to produce medication. Fructo-oligosaccharides move into the colon undigested, where they increase intestinal bulk and encourage the growth of bacteria that are regarded to be healthy. They are made up of linear fructose units connected by beta (2-1) bonds. The amount of fructose units varies from 2 and 60, and they frequently end in a glucose unit. Small intestine glycosidase do not hydrolyse dietary FOS, therefore it reaches the cecum intact. The intestinal bacteria break them down into short-chain carboxylic acids, L-lactate, CO(2), hydrogen, and other metabolites. FOS has a number of unique characteristics, including a low sweetness intensity, as well as being calorie-free, non-cariogenic, and classified as soluble dietary fibre. Fructo-oligosaccharide consumption has been linked to a number of health advantages. Their consumption boosts immunity and enhances calcium, iron, zinc, and magnesium absorption in the large intestine.

Oligosaccharides that isn’t carbohydrate-based

Non-carbohydrate oligosaccharides are low molecular weight carbohydrates, essentially between monosaccharide’s and polysaccharides. Carbohydrates tend to meet the criteria of the definition of prebiotics but, some substances, such as cocoa-derived flavanols, are not categorised as carbs but are recommended to be classed as prebiotics. Non-carbohydrate based oligosaccharides are said to act as dietary fibres and prebiotics, and they have crucial physicochemical and physiological features. Different populations around the world suffer from one or more forms of neurodegenerative disease, and NDO may be an adjunct complementary therapy option for these oxidative diseases.

Galacto-oligosaccharides

GOS are currently synthesised utilising lactose as a substrate by glycoside hydrolases. The conversion of lactose to GOS by GH results in a mixture containing GOS with different degrees of unreacted lactose, polymerization (DP) and monosaccharides. Due to the existence of carbon and C-C and C-H covalent bonds, Galacto-oligosaccharides are an organic chemical like the other carbohydrates. GOS are crucial storage oligosaccharides in species that can synthesise them. For other organisms that cannot produce them due to the lack of genes specific to the required enzymes, Galacto-oligosaccharides is primarily used as a source of soluble dietary fibre.

Oligosaccharides Derived from Starch and Glucose

When compared to other more frequent carbohydrates which are referred as disaccharide category, oligosaccharides are carbohydrates that contains single sugar residue and are not as common in the diet. Any sugar macromolecule can be used to make oligosaccharides, but fructooligosaccharides and galactooligosaccharides have received the most attention.

Inulin

Inulin segment accounted largest revenue share 47% in 2022 and is expected to reach at a CAGR 10% from 2023-2032. Inulin a sort of water-soluble fiber discovered in lots of vegetation has been proven to assist with intestinal health. Inulin is also fructans. It's a prebiotic, like different fructans, which means it feeds the wholesome microorganism for your intestine. Fructose is made from a sequence of fructose molecules related collectively. The molecules bond together to prevent the small intestine from being broken down, they waft to the lower intestine, in which they nourish beneficial gut microorganism.

Application Insights

Based on Food and beverage application

The food and beverages segment accounted market share of around 72% in 2022. The benefits of prebiotics for stimulating a healthy intestine are well known.
