The major factors driving the growth of the global probiotics include growing health-consciousness and the availability of probiotics in the form of dietary supplements. The global probiotic products market was estimated at $24.23 billion in 2011. More than 500 probiotic F&B products have been introduced in the past decade. These products have received varying levels of success, mostly in congruence with their overall health benefits.
