1.1 Fastest growing segment:

The probiotics and prebiotics segment is the largest product category in the global functional food ingredients market in 2023. Probiotics, such as Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Enterococcus, are live microorganisms found in fermented dairy products like yogurt, buttermilk, and Greek yogurt. Prebiotics are non-digestible fibers that nourish probiotic bacteria and promote their growth. The increasing consumer awareness about health benefits of probiotics is driving market growth. For instance, Wildwonder, a new prebiotic + probiotic beverage, was launched in June 2023. This light-carbonated drink, available at Sprouts and online, has five grams of prebiotic fiber, one billion live probiotic organisms, and only six grams of sugar. Probiotics also reduce the risk of diarrhea and colon cancer, while prebiotics offer benefits like calcium and magnesium absorption and improved food quality. Both have significant advantages, making the probiotics and prebiotics segment a key growth area in the functional food ingredients market.
