Demand Scenario of Prebiotic Ingredients in China

The global functional food market has spread from its traditional geographical markets of Europe and North America and entered developing countries such as China. The country has already been penetrated by probiotics that have found popularity with the majority of the consumers. Thus, prebiotic fortified products potentially have a lucrative market in China.

To undercut the competition prebiotic manufacturers are offering prebiotic enriched products at affordable prices and thereby pulling existing probiotic consumers into the prebiotic market.

Although marketing standardization and imparting awareness are very important strategies, creating competition with affordable pricing works as the tipping point for consumers to switch from probiotics to prebiotic functional food thus inferring an increase in product sales in the country by 2032 end.
