Probiotic dietary supplements are not as popular as probiotic foods, especially in the Asia Pacific, but have started gaining popularity over the past few years. North America is a huge market for probiotic dietary supplements due to the natural predisposition of consumers to take supplements. Compared to European countries, people in the US are more willing to consume oral supplements. In the US, the FDA does not require pre-market approval of the health claims made by the manufacturers of probiotic dietary supplements, which allows them to launch innovative products to cater to the increasing demand.

Probiotic Products Restraints and Challenges

High R&D cost for developing new probiotic strains – Substantial investments in R&D activities, as well as investments in laboratories, research equipment, and the high cost of hiring trained professionals, create barriers to the development of the probiotics market. The scientific validation related to the usage of probiotics in their applications has become a success in this market. Probiotics applications are linked with health benefits, which makes it challenging for manufacturers to get an adequate RoI on high initial investments.

Complexities in integrating probiotics in functional foods – The development and commercial aspects of functional food products are rather complex, expensive, and uncertain. The factors behind the success of functional food product development are consumer demand, technological conditions, as well as legislative and regulatory background. However, consumers’ knowledge of the health effects of specific ingredients can affect the acceptance of specific functional foods. Common functional ingredients, such as minerals, fiber, and vitamins, are preferred over new and improved products, such as foods enriched with probiotics, prebiotics, flavonoids, carotenoids, and conjugated linolenic acid.
