Asia Pacific Prebiotics Market Growth & Trends

Asia Pacific prebiotics market size is expected to reach USD 4.9 billion by 2028, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 15.6% from 2020 to 2028. Increasing gastrointestinal tract diseases like irritable bowel syndrome, have raised concerns about gut health which is likely to augment the growth of the prebiotics market in Asia Pacific.

Consumers have started consuming foods such as yogurt, apples, whole grains, and miso, that aid in improving digestion by increasing the good bacteria in the gut, along with reducing constipation. Thus, the incorporation of functional ingredients such as carotenoids, prebiotics and probiotics, fatty acids, dietary fibers, vitamins, and minerals, is likely to increase, which, in turn, is projected to benefit market growth.

Prebiotics stimulate the growth of healthy bacteria like lactobacilli in the gut and enhance pathogen resistance. This effect is induced by consuming functional foods that contain FOS, GOS, with prebiotic function. Growing gut problems among consumers have impelled them to switch to prebiotics-rich food that is likely to drive their demand for prebiotics in the coming years.

Besides, since the pandemic outbreak, consumers have been gradually selecting products that are nutritionally rich in order to maintain optimum health. This shifting trend is evident from the increased demand for nutraceuticals in the first and second quarters of 2020 throughout the world. Rising concerns regarding immunity are likely to benefit plant-based functional ingredients in the coming years.
