Consumers have started consuming foods such as yogurt, apples, whole grains, and miso, that aid in improving digestion by increasing the good bacteria in the gut, along with reducing constipation. Thus, the incorporation of functional ingredients such as carotenoids, prebiotics and probiotics, fatty acids, dietary fibers, vitamins, and minerals, is likely to increase, which, in turn, is projected to benefit market growth.

This effect is induced by consuming functional foods that contain FOS, GOS, with prebiotic function. Growing gut problems among consumers have impelled them to switch to prebiotics-rich food that is likely to drive their demand for prebiotics in the coming years.

This shifting trend is evident from the increased demand for nutraceuticals in the first and second quarters of 2020 throughout the world. Rising concerns regarding immunity are likely to benefit plant-based functional ingredients in the coming years.
