The bacterial probiotics segment generated USD 64 billion in 2024. This segment consists of multiple genera, including Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, Streptococcus, and emerging strains such as Akkermansia and Faecalibacterium. Although the market was once dominated by traditional lactobacillus species, scientific reclassifications have diversified the taxonomy to include genera such as lacticaseibacillus, lactiplantibacillus, and limosilactobacillus. These bacteria are clinically validated for their contributions to digestive health, immune function, and metabolic balance. Their long-standing regulatory acceptance and consistent clinical evidence continue to strengthen their market position as essential probiotic strains in the health and wellness sector.
The human dietary supplements segment held 44.7% share in 2024, owing to the preference for convenient and concentrated probiotic formats. Consumers increasingly favor capsules, powders, tablets, and liquid supplements for daily use, as they offer ease of consumption and targeted health benefits.
