Prebiotics are dietary ingredients used for enhancing all the beneficial components present in indigenous gut microbiota. Dietary fibers in prebiotics work as carbon sources for secondary and primary fermentation trails in the colon backing the digestive health in numerous ways. The concept of prebiotics was developed in the 1990s by Gibson and Roberfroid. The increasing consumer interest in dieting for better overall health has increased the awareness about prebiotics, which is propelling the global prebiotics market. Moreover, technological revolution, development of new products, and the rising number of health-conscious consumers are major growth drivers of the prebiotics market. Nowadays, approximately 60% of food items, such as biscuits, bread, yogurt, and cereals, contain probiotics or prebiotics. Prebiotics are also present in natural food items like onion, garlic, banana, and leek. Prebiotics help the body to fight against many diseases like diabetes, osteoporosis, etc.
The global prebiotics market is likely to witness notable growth in the years ahead, owing to the rising prevalence of diseases like diabetes, infections, IBD, immunomodulation, etc. and growing government funding for the discovery and development of new food products. Additionally, the increasing consumer concerns about the effectiveness of prebiotics and preventive healthcare is further propelling the prebiotics market growth globally. The prebiotic market is also experiencing substantial growth, owing to the growing awareness of low-calorie consumable products and their associated health benefits. The demand for prebiotics has also increased due to the increasing consumption of functional foods, which have positive effects on health apart from just providing basic nutrition.
