In order to study the many forthcoming movements and patterns prevailing in the global market, FactMR has included the latest Forecast report on galacto oligosaccharides market to its vast database. The delivered study offers significant figures about the leading regions and applications which are functioning in the galacto oligosaccharides market trends by 2028, along with their market production, consumption, revenue, upcoming industry trends and forecasted market share details. Further, the accomplished market research report also anticipates that the concerned market would grow at a constructive CAGR until 2028.

Galacto oligosaccharide (GOS) is gaining significant uptake in the infant nutrition industry on account of positive perception about its therapeutic effect on gut health and immunity development. Increase in the number of lactose intolerant population continues to be a challenge for policy makers. According to a journal published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in 2017, around 70% of the world’s population suffer from lactose intolerance due to a genetically programmed gradual decline in lactase expression, known as lactase non-persistence (LNP). The availability of plant-based galacto oligosaccharide has proven to be highly beneficial with regards to meeting the nutritional requirements of the lactose intolerant population. The infant nutrition industry will be looking to capitalize on the opportunity presented by commercialization of plant-based galacto oligosaccharides.

FDA Approval Likely to Provide the Much-needed Fillip to Galacto Oligosaccharide Demand

The broader trends impacting the dietary fibers industry have a profound impact on the prospects of galacto oligosaccharide industry. The recent FDA approval on eight dietary fibers, including galacto oligosaccharide is likely to create a scramble for launching new products.. With this approval, key manufacturers are broadening the horizon of galacto oligosaccharide that could help them seize premium opportunities. Key dairy cooperative companies are using galacto oligosaccharide in beverages owing to its stability, as addition of fibers in beverages still remains a challenge due to their insolubility or grittiness.

Use of Galacto Oligosaccharide in the Nutraceuticals Industry Gaining Strong Momentum

The demand for galacto oligosaccharide in nutraceuticals is likely to grow at a steady clip during the assessment period. The stability of galacto oligosaccharide in high temperatures and low pH applications makes it an ideal fit for neutraceutical products. Prominent nutritional supplement products such as Bimuno, which is meant for the well-being of gut health, contains galacto oligosaccharide in its ingredient profile., The composition for galacto oligosaccharide in neutraceutical products might vary according to the chain length and linkage type between the monomer units.

Strict regulations and legislations related to the use of prebiotic ingredient can be a key factor hampering use of galacto oligosaccharide. Any product before receiving the recognition as a prebiotic or probiotic, is consistently subjected to multiple validations and has to persistently prove its efficacy. It cannot be directly labeled as such, until and unless it is approved by the concerned agencies. Being operating in the food ingredient industry, galacto oligosaccharide is exposed to similar kind of legislations by various food regulation authorities such as FDA and food and agriculture organization. This might create hurdles for prosperity of galacto oligosaccharide, thereby impacting the galacto oligosaccharide market landscape.

Liquid Galacto Oligosaccharide Continues to Outsell Powdered Variants; Latter Growing at Higher Rate

Galacto oligosaccharide products are available in both liquid and powder form. The liquid galacto oligosaccharide is foreseen to sustain its supremacy and is anticipated to hold around 59% of the global market share by 2028. The liquid galacto oligosaccharide finds extensive applications across food products such as beverages, fermented milk, & so on. The powder galacto oligosaccharide is expected to grow on a relentless rate with its use as an additive in infant formula and nutraceuticals
