The UK probiotics market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 4.48% over the forecast period to reach a market size of US$2.783 billion in 2028, from US$2.049 billion in 2021.

Probiotics are nutritional, dietary, and health supplements consumed by humans and animals to boost their digestive power and aid in the better functioning of their digestive systems. Probiotics are employed in the manufacture of particular food and beverage products, dietary supplements, and animal feed. Probiotics can be consumed through food sources such as yogurt, kimchi, and cottage cheese or can be consumed through supplements in the form of capsules, powders, and drinks. The consumption of probiotics assists in the regulation of microbial intestine activity. Owing to this, probiotics are fed to poultry and livestock to improve the immunity and health of the animals by promoting the growth of beneficial microbe bacteria in the intestines.

Apart from this, the human consumption of probiotics has gained momentum in the recent decade due to the awareness of the nutritional benefits offered by probiotics. Therefore, considering the various key factors and health benefits contributing to its significant growth, it is anticipated that the UK probiotics market will expand gradually to reach a larger market size over the forecast period.

Growth Factors

  • Prevalence of digestive concerns in the UK.

The increase in the prevalence of digestion problems among the UK population is resulting in higher demand for probiotics in the UK. A survey conducted by a research charity organization, Guts UK revealed that approximately 53% of the UK population has experienced concerns relating to their digestive health in their lifetime. In addition to this, it was estimated that more than 10% of the patients suffering from digestion problems prefer to include the consumption of probiotics in their diet to increase the overall health of their gut. According to the UK Gut Health Report published by Holland and Barrett Company in 2022, the prevalence rates of various digestive problems in the UK were established, with bloating, heartburn, and indigestion being some of the most common digestive issues faced by the UK population.

Major players have also started collaborating and launching new products in the probiotic market. For instance, as per the January 2020 press release of the UK-based wholesalers Cultech and the nutraceutical and cannabinoid producers Medlab, they collaborated to market their probiotic products, among other things, in Europe. The three-year agreement will help the Australian company's nutraceutical division grow. Customers in the UK were able to purchase its patent probiotic rehydration drink ORSBiotic, which lessens the likelihood of diarrhea in children, which frequently results in dehydration.

The UK probiotics market for dietary supplements is a growing segment, driven by increasing consumer interest in natural and organic products, rising demand for supplements that support digestive health and immune function, and growing awareness of the health benefits of probiotics. Digestive disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and acid reflux are becoming increasingly common in the UK. This has led to a growing demand for probiotic supplements that can help to alleviate symptoms and improve overall digestive health. According to a report by the UK's National Health Service (NHS) in 2019, the prevalence of digestive disorders such as IBS and IBD is increasing in the UK, with an estimated 10-20% of the population affected by IBS and around 1% affected by IBD. This trend is likely to contribute to the growing demand for probiotic supplements that can help to alleviate symptoms and improve overall digestive health.
