Global Prebiotic Ingredients Market is valued at approximately USD 5.7 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 11% over the forecast period 2022-2028. Prebiotics' widespread use as nutraceutical ingredients, as well as increased awareness, have been major drivers of this market's growth. Prebiotic ingredients have a number of health benefits, including decreased diarrhoea attacks and improved bowel movement frequency, as well as reduced flatulence and bloating. Obesity can also be caused by an imbalance in gut bacterial species. Supplementing with FOS and inulin-type fructans has been shown to reduce body weight and control hunger in overweight and obese adults. The adoption of new technologies for the development of innovative products, as well as the expansion of sales and distribution channels, are top priorities for major players. For instance, FrieslandCampina N.V. launched Biotis GOS, a galactooligosaccharide prebiotic, in May 2020, and a health benefit forum called Biotis to promote it. Similarly, Kerry PLC launched Emugold Fiber for the fortified white bread manufacturer in November 2021. This will allow the white bread to claim a high fibre content without affecting the taste, texture, or other sensory qualities. However, the high cost of R&D and the government's strict regulations have posed a challenge to the market. The trend for prebiotics has been to include these ingredients in foods and beverages is expected to create opportunities for the market.

The key regions considered for the global Prebiotic Ingredients market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World. The market for prebiotic ingredients was dominated by Europe. The European Union banned antibiotic growth promoters in 2006, resulting in this increase. Prebiotics has been widely used in feed additives for animal growth and nutrition since that time. Prebiotic ingredients are available from companies like FrieslandCampina in the Netherlands and Nexira in France for animal feed and human consumption. Whereas, the rising popularity of prebiotic ingredients is expected to fuel market demand in North America, particularly for inulin, as consumers become more aware of low fat and calorie reduction. Inulin has been designated as a generally recognised safe (GRAS) product by the US Food and Drug Administration, which is expected to have a positive impact on the market over the forecast period.
