M2 - Tue Dec 09, 8:39AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/pn98zs/japan_probiotics) has announced the addition of the "Japan Probiotics Market - Segmented By Product Type, Applications And Ingredients (2014-2020)" report to their offering. Japan is the largest market for probiotics in Asia-Pacific, with an estimated share of about 45% in 2014, though growth in demand in the region is expected to be the slowest. The largest share by product type is accounted for by functional foods & beverages, estimated at 35% in 2014, with consumption of yogurt being highly widespread in the region. In terms of growth, however, demand for dietary supplements is likely to outpace other segments. By application, regular usage of probiotics is most common in Japan, wit6h preventive and therapeutic measures also gaining wider acceptance. Manufacturers and suppliers of functional foods, in particular, have gained wider margins because of the seal of approval granted to probiotics. However, the players would need to focus on product innovations in order to account for greater market share in the dynamic and ever-evolving field of probiotics. In fact, companies, such as Japan-based Yakult Honsha and Denmark-based CHR Hansen have been successful in developing patented strains of microorganisms, with the claim of having effect on specific health conditions. In addition, a raft of probiotic ingredient suppliers has also demonstrated success in developing bespoke strains of microorganisms capable of being incorporated into a range of food products.
