Healthy INSIDER Podcast 41: Probiotics' 'Fantastic' Sales Growth
Probiotic supplements reached US$2.8 billion in 2015, according to estimates from Nicholas Hall Co., with the United States selling the most among countries representing 33 percent of the total sales. Probiotics supplements jumped 127 percent from 2011 to 2015, showing they are the fastest growing supplement in the U.S. marketplace. This growth and high demand is due to probiotic innovation, which is populating in every layer of the probiotic market from strain research, number of strains in the formulation, health benefits, regulatory compliance, delivery forms, packaging, pricing, marketing, point of sales and outreach to consumers. In this podcast, Monica Feldman, group director of client services, Nicholas Hall Co., and Sandy Almendarez, editor in chief, INSIDER, discuss the market for probiotics.
