MARKET TRENDS & DRIVERS

Usage of Probiotics as Adjuvants and Advancement in Pharmaceutical Applications of Probiotics

Probiotics are used as an adjuvant in various industries to improve their stability and quality. Probiotics are used in cancer therapy, allergic disease treatment, and vaccines as an adjuvant.

Due to rising various diseases, health consciousness is increasing in European countries. After the Covid-19 pandemic, people prefer nutritional-based food products for improving the immune system.

Disturbed gut health causes many health disorders; thus, the awareness about the health benefits of probiotics is increasing for improving gut health. Many people ask for high nutritional value such as vitamins, proteins, probiotics-based food, beverages, and dietary supplements.

Vendors’ Increasing Focus on Developing Non-Dairy-Based Probiotics

Most of the probiotics are made up of dairy products. But due to increasing consumer vegetarianism in European countries, the European probiotics market vendors are manufacturing non-dairy-based probiotics. Around 75% of the world’s population has lactose intolerance.

The demand for non-dairy probiotics is increasing due to lactose intolerance customers and increasing interest among vegetarians, as per the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) of the US. Developing non-dairy probiotics is challenging due to maintaining the quality and health benefits of dairy-based probiotics.

SEGMENTATION INSIGHTS

The functional food & beverages product segment accounted for a high share of the Europe probiotics market, accounting for over 82% in 2022. Milk and milk-based products are good carriers of probiotic strains because of their properties; thus, most milk and milk products must be stored at refrigerated temperatures. These dairy-based products are suitable to retain probiotics’ properties, which helps support their growth and viability.

The European probiotics market is segmented into bacteria and yeast, and in 2022, the bacteria segment dominated the industry. Lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidobacteria species are the main strains used in dairy-based probiotics. These strains are regularly added to fermented dairy foods like yogurt because of their proven functional benefits to gastrointestinal health.

The Europe probiotics market by age group is segmented into pediatric and adults. Probiotics-based products improve gut health and other health-related issues in pediatrics and adults. Obesity and overweight issues are increasing in pediatrics, where diabetes, cancer, allergy, gastrointestinal issues, and other disorders are increasing in European countries. The use of probiotics-based products is higher in adults, and the awareness among the adult population is expected to drive the industry’s growth.

The supermarkets and hypermarkets segment accounted for a higher industry share. The expansion of supermarkets and hypermarkets is the major reason to increase the demand for probiotics in the European markets. Further, online buyers have increased in the last few years due to the growing e-commerce platform and changing buying patterns.
