Increasing instances of digestive and gastrointestinal disorders among people owing to the changing lifestyles and a shift in consumption pattern of people is likely to further boost the demand for prebiotics. According to a report released by the National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), nearly 11% of the population in the U.S. suffer from a chronic digestive disease with a prevalence rate of around 35%for people aged 65 years and above, which indicates promising opportunities for the incorporation of prebiotics in the daily diet of the U.S. population.
 

Prebiotics are oligosaccharide-based non-digestible compounds in food. They aid in improving the gut health and enhancing the digestive metabolism of the body by stimulating the growth of normal gastrointestinal flora and hindering the growth of undesirable pathogens in the intestine. The regular intake of prebiotics prevents several metabolic abnormalities and digestive disorders caused due to the imbalance of gut microbiota.
 

However, increasing dependence of livestock owners on the use of natural growth promoters (NGP) such as feed phytogenics for animal health and wellness owing to their antiviral, antifungal, antioxidative and antimicrobial properties is likely to restrict the use of prebiotics. Rise in per-capita meat consumption along with increasing advancements in the formulation of various types of feed phytogenics such as essential oils, herbs & species, and oleoresins for use in animal feed applications may further hamper the market demand. Moreover, high cost associated with the research & development of prebiotics which comprises of the cost of research equipment, laboratories, and hiring trained professionals is likely to restrain market growth.
