The Prebiotics Market is projected to reach $13.84 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 8.6% during the forecast period 2022–2029. The growth of this market is mainly driven by the rising concerns of health issues, increasing demand for supplements, and rising investments in research development of innovative products enriched with prebiotics. However, a lack of awareness about the health benefits of prebiotics restricts the demand for prebiotics. Furthermore, in recent years, there has been a surge in demand for prebiotic products in the sports industry due to the growing focus on physical fitness, the benefit of the restoration of energy, and the rising need for improved nutrition for athletes.
The Impact of COVID-19 on the Prebiotics Market
The pandemic adversely hit many economies globally. Complete lockdowns and movement restrictions were imposed to curb the spread of COVID-19. However, the impact of the pandemic on the prebiotics market was positive, mainly due to increased health consciousness. Consumers’ increased awareness about the health benefits of nutraceuticals increased the demand for dietary supplements during the initial months of the pandemic. The consumption of food & beverages and dairy products also increased.
Moreover, due to the lockdowns and government mandates, people stayed at home and focused on their health and fitness, stimulating the demand for prebiotics. However, the disruption of the transportation and logistics industry negatively impacted the sales of prebiotics during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Increasing Consumption of Prebiotics for Gut Health
Prebiotics are non-digestible food ingredients that are often added to functional foods. These induce the growth of beneficial microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. Prebiotic ingredients include fructo-oligosaccharide, galacto-oligosaccharide, inulin, mannan-oligosaccharide, polydextrose, and other ingredients which are widely used in food & beverages, dietary supplements as they have multiple benefits, including enhanced digestive health, improved immune system, and the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut, and improved gut health.
Prebiotics are used in various end-use industries to produce sugar alternatives and low-calorie foods with good texture and taste, boosting the demand for prebiotic ingredients. Additionally, prebiotics also reduce inflammation and symptoms associated with inflammatory bowel disease, enhance the uptake of minerals, including calcium, magnesium, and iron and lower the risk of cardiovascular disease. These act as a fertilizer, stimulating the growth of healthy bacteria in the gut, and are found in many fruits and vegetables, especially which contain complex carbohydrates such as fiber and resistant starch. Consumption of prebiotics in infant formula stimulates the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, to levels found in breastfed infants. Prebiotics are generally safe at the concentrations present in existing food components. All these factors are expected to boost the demand for prebiotics in the market.
Key Findings in the Prebiotics Market Study
The Galacto-oligosaccharide Segment is Projected to Register the Highest CAGR During the Forecast Period
Based on ingredient, the prebiotics market is segmented into fructo-oligosaccharide, galacto-oligosaccharide, inulin, mannan-oligosaccharide, and other ingredients. In 2022, the galacto-oligosaccharide segment is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period of 2022–2029. The growth of this market is mainly attributed to the increase in consumption of galacto-oligosaccharide due to multiple health benefits such as relieving symptoms of constipation, preventing colon cancer, and improving bifidobacteria. Moreover, in food and beverages, it is used in non-alcoholic beverages and bakeries to improve the taste and texture of baked products due to low calorific value moisture. These are the factors that drive the demand for prebiotics in the market.
In 2022, the Food & beverages Segment is Expected to Dominate the Prebiotics Market
Based on the application, the prebiotics market is mainly segmented into food & beverages, dietary supplements, animal feed, and cosmetics. In 2022, the food & beverages segment is expected to account for the largest share of the prebiotics market. The large market share of this segment is mainly attributed to the rising demand for fortifying food with prebiotic ingredients and the increasing health consciousness among consumers. Moreover, a healthy and active lifestyle and increasing investments to innovate new products in the food and beverages industry are expected to boost the demand for the food and beverages market.
Asia-Pacific: To Dominate the Prebiotics Market in 2022
Based on geography, the prebiotics market is segmented into five major geographies: North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. In 2022, the Asia-Pacific is expected to account for the largest share of the prebiotics market. The large share of this market is mainly attributed to the increase in the consumption of dairy products. In addition, the growing demand for nutraceuticals and the rising of diseases, such as gut-related issues, diabetes, chronic diseases, and obesity, are expected to boost the demand for prebiotics in this region.
