(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Growth is driven by increased health awareness, rising demand for digestive health products, an aging population, and advancements in the functional food and beverage sectors. Biotechnology enhancements are improving prebiotic production and efficacy.

Dublin, Nov. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Asia-Pacific Prebiotics Market Size, Share and Trends Analysis Report by Ingredient, Application, Country and Segment Forecasts 2025-2033" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets's offering.
The Asia-Pacific Prebiotics Market is expected to reach US$ 5.83 billion by 2033 from US$ 2.14 billion in 2024, with a CAGR of 11.77% from 2025 to 2033. Growing health consciousness, the need for digestive health products, the aging population, the growth of the functional food and beverage sectors, and biotechnology breakthroughs that improve the manufacturing and use of prebiotic ingredients are the main factors propelling the prebiotics market in Asia-Pacific.

Due to a number of factors, the prebiotics market in Asia-Pacific is expanding significantly. Demand for functional foods and supplements containing prebiotics is rising as consumers become more conscious of immunity and digestive health. The growing senior population in the area is looking for items that promote general health and gut health. Healthy lifestyle choices are being promoted by the rapid urbanization and shifting eating trends. Prebiotics are also being added to a wide range of products, including dairy and baked goods, by the expanding food and beverage sector. Biotechnology developments have enhanced prebiotic synthesis and effectiveness. Additionally, growing disposable incomes and encouraging government policies fuel market expansion in Asia-Pacific nations.

Rising consumer awareness: The Asia-Pacific prebiotics market is expanding due in large part to growing consumer awareness of immunity and digestive health. The need for items that promote digestive wellness is rising as more individuals realize how important it is to have a healthy gut microbiota. Prebiotics are essential because they feed good gut bacteria, which improves digestion and fortifies the immune system. Growing health concerns, digestive problems linked to lifestyle choices, and the influence of nutrition on general wellbeing are the main causes of this awareness. The advantages of prebiotics are being aggressively promoted by the media, medical professionals, and nutrition campaigns, which is pushing people to use functional foods and supplements. As a result, the industry is being driven by this increased awareness as people look for natural, preventive ways to preserve their long-term health.

Growing elderly population seeking gut health support: The prebiotics market is significantly influenced by the expanding older population in Asia-Pacific, as more and more elderly people look for products that promote gut health and general well-being. According to government statistics, the number of elderly people in Japan has increased to a record 36.25 million, with people 65 and older accounting for almost one-third of the country's total population. In a similar vein, approximately 297 million people in China were 60 years of age or older in 2023, making up 21.1 percent of the country's entire population. Prebiotics that strengthen gut flora and promote health are in high demand because aging frequently results in immune system weakness and digestive problems. Prebiotic functional foods and supplements are expanding throughout the region as a result of this demographic change.

Advances in biotechnology improving prebiotic production and efficacy: The Asia-Pacific prebiotics market is expanding as a result of biotechnology advancements that are greatly improving prebiotic efficacy and production. The quality, purity, and usefulness of prebiotic ingredients have been enhanced by advancements in microbial fermentation and enzyme technologies, making them more useful and adaptable for usage in a range of food and supplement products. An example of the growing emphasis on scientifically supported gut health treatments is the June 2023 launch of probiotics aimed at cholesterol control in South Korea by Sanofi and AB-BIOTICS. The creation of customized prebiotic products with particular health benefits is made possible by these partnerships and technological developments, which increases consumer demand and confidence. Additionally, by lowering production costs, these innovations increase the accessibility of prebiotics throughout the region.

High production costs: One major obstacle to the expansion of the prebiotics market in Asia-Pacific is the high cost of production. The intricate production procedures, which include sophisticated extraction and fermentation methods, call for a large technological investment as well as highly qualified personnel. Furthermore, locating premium raw ingredients, including certain fibers and oligosaccharides, can be costly and prone to supply shortages. Because of these factors, prebiotic products are more expensive overall, which makes them less accessible to consumers in the area who are price conscious. As a result, high production costs prevent prebiotic-enriched foods and supplements from being widely adopted across a range of consumer sectors and limit market penetration, particularly in developing nations.

Regulatory complexities: The Asia-Pacific prebiotics market is severely hampered by regulatory complexity because different nations have different standards and licensing procedures. Manufacturers seeking regional distribution face challenges due to national regulations governing health claims, safety evaluations, and labeling specifications. These contradictory rules have the potential to impede innovation, raise compliance expenses, and postpone product launches. Furthermore, the absence of standardized regulations limits consumer access to innovative prebiotic products and makes it more difficult for new competitors to enter the market. The prebiotics market's overall growth and expansion in the Asia-Pacific region is hampered by the time and resources required to navigate various regulatory environments.
