Increasing Health Concerns Keep Probiotics Market Growth Climbing

Plant-based and keto might be at the top of the wellness charts, but probiotics are making a gutsy play for growth.

The Global Probiotic Beverages Market Research Report, released last week, is predicting 8% annual growth through 2026. The report attributes the growth to the “increasing number of digestive issues among millennials, rising consumption of probiotic yogurt to decrease inflammation, and the burgeoning inclination toward instant and ready-to-drink beverages.”

GT’s Kombucha, the world’s No. 1 kombucha that established the category more than 25 years ago, is available in dozens of varieties and flavors on Grovara’s online marketplace for better-for-you American food and beverage brands, and is helping drive that growth along with many other probiotic players.

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria in foods and supplements, and it has long been known that they aid in digestion and maintaining gut health. Probiotics are powerful stuff — a recent study found that probiotic-rich yogurt can protect against microbiome changes for those taking antibiotics, helping stave off antibiotic-associated diarrhea. They play well with prebiotics, which are types of fiber that feed the friendly bacteria in the digestive system.

Of course, beverages aren’t the only way to get your probiotics. The broader Probiotics Market Analysis Report from August indicates 7.2% annual growth through 2028. Grovara’s online marketplace currently boasts more than 40 probiotics/prebiotics products, including:
