Dublin, Oct. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Postbiotics Market by Source (Bacteria, Yeast), Application (Functional Food & Beverages, Dietary Supplements, Animal Feed, Cosmetics & Personal Care, and Pharmaceuticals), Form, Function, Manufacturing Technology, and Region - Global Forecast to 2030" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The postbiotics market is anticipated to grow from USD 146.7 million in 2025 to USD 224.8 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 8.9%. This expansion is largely due to heightened consumer awareness around gut health and immune support, alongside demand for clean-label, shelf-stable ingredients. The functional food and beverage sector is a key driver, reflecting a consumer shift towards health-enhancing products. Ingredients that support immunity, digestion, and energy have become mainstream, particularly in developed markets.
Postbiotics, distinguishable from probiotics by their heat and shelf stability, are increasingly incorporated into beverages, protein bars, dairy alternatives, and meal replacements due to their efficacy in promoting gut health and immune modulation. Despite their advantages, postbiotics face competition from more established alternatives like probiotics and prebiotics.
Disruptions in the Postbiotics Market Offer Opportunities
The market is evolving with advances in microbial science, regulatory shifts, and demand for stable health ingredients. Postbiotics, recognized for their enhanced safety and formulation flexibility, are gaining favor in functional foods, dietary supplements, cosmetics, and pet nutrition. Notably, customized, strain-specific postbiotics are being developed to deliver targeted health benefits.
Innovations such as synbiotic products and the substitution of antibiotics in animal nutrition with postbiotics are reshaping the industry. Personalized nutrition and microbiome testing are propelling the market further, fostering a sophisticated landscape for postbiotic solutions.
Dietary Supplements Segment Growth
Dietary supplements are poised for rapid growth, meeting consumer demand for proactive health management. Postbiotics offer longer shelf life and do not require refrigeration, appealing especially to infants and the elderly. The trend towards self-care, coupled with rising healthcare costs, bolsters this market expansion.
Yeast Segment in Postbiotics
Yeast-derived postbiotics present significant opportunities within animal nutrition, especially where pathogen pressures and heat stress are concerns. Offering benefits such as enhanced immunity and feed efficiency, yeast postbiotics support animal welfare without antibiotics, aligning with industry trends toward natural solutions.
US Dominates North American Market
The US is a pivotal player in the North American postbiotics market, driven by an aging population and rising healthcare costs. Technological advancements facilitate a broad array of postbiotic products in the market.
Key market players have been identified through in-depth interviews involving CEOs and executives from various organizations. Companies such as ADM (US), Cargill (US), dsm-firmenich (Netherlands), and Kerry Group (Ireland) are at the forefront, with industry-leading innovations.
