The "Global Prebiotic Ingredient Market 2017-2021" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Global prebiotic ingredient market to grow at a CAGR of 11.97% during the period 2017-2021.
The report has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the market landscape and its growth prospects over the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.
The latest trend gaining momentum in the market is Increasing preference for prebiotic fiber supplements. Consumers are showing interest in prebiotic fiber supplements. This is mainly due to the increasing awareness of health benefits of prebiotics among consumers. Consumption of prebiotic fiber supplements is the optimal way to consume the accurate amount of prebiotics in a daily diet. Considering this tendency in the market, many dietary supplement manufacturers are introducing prebiotic fiber supplements. For example, Jackson GI Medical offers Prebiotin Prebiotic Fiber, which is a prebiotic fiber supplement that gives an extra boost of healthy fiber. It is natural and gluten-free. Another example is ROQUETTE, a leader in specialty food ingredients and pharmaceutical excipients. The company markets NUTRIOSE, which is a prebiotic fiber. Thus, with the preference for prebiotic fiber supplements among consumers, the demand for prebiotic ingredients will increase, and this trend is expected to propel the growth of the global prebiotic ingredient market during the forecast period.
According to the report, one of the major drivers for this market is Increased use of prebiotics in functional foods. The consumers are looking for food products made with ingredients that promote their health. The rising occurrence of diseases caused by changing lifestyle and unhealthy eating habits have made them more health conscious. Owing to which they are keen on selecting healthy food products. This has impacted the growth of functional food market across various countries. In order to improve the health, consumers are choosing food products made of healthy and high-quality ingredients. They are also aware of macro and micronutrients, which they need to take through food. Consuming regular diets such as fruits and vegetables will not meet the requirements of the body, and thus, functional alternatives are essential to meet the dietary requirements.
Further, the report states that one of the major factors hindering the growth of this market is High cost of production of prebiotic ingredients. The prebiotic ingredients are generally expensive as the cost of the production is very high. Most of the oligosaccharides with prebiotic content are generally obtained by the enzymatic treatment of cheap raw materials like sucrose, lactose, and plant derivatives. The amount and nature of oligosaccharides formed depend on the enzyme source, the concentration of the substrate, and reaction conditions. The low yield of the current process is increasing the production cost. More R&D activities should be carried out to improve the yield and to come up with more efficient production techniques. This incurs an additional cost to manufacturers. Owing to these reasons, manufacturers tend to quote high prices for prebiotic ingredients, and this is a challenge for various end-user industries.
