Similarly, in South Africa, the Probiotics market experienced a robust year-on-year growth of 11.0%, between 2018 and 2019.  This global and local market growth is being driven by the rise in personalised Probiotics, that are tailor-made to meet the specific needs of individuals.

For example, in 2020, Swiss start-up YOGUT, announced its plans to launch the YOGUT Smart Yogurt Machine. This machine is a pod-based personalised yoghurt machine, that makes use of bioprocessing technology, to create customised Probiotic yoghurt drinks that are blended for maximised personal health benefits. Moreover, 2020 marked a year of numerous product launches, with several target-specific Probiotic products being released, which are specifically designed for children, pregnancy, and weight loss.

This trend can be seen in the South African Probiotics market, with many industry players offering personalised Probiotic products. As an example, numerous ‘junior’ or child ranges are now available, including prominent brands such as Reuterina and ProbiFlora, which offer chewable tablet Probiotics in their junior ranges.

Additionally, manufacturers are developing their products to meet the specific tastes that appeal to children, such as the Nativa Complex Junior Probiotic Choco Buttons, as well as various Probiotic gummies. These products are designed to meet the needs and tastes of children, making these Probiotics more appealing, through its fruity flavours and ‘candy-like’ composition.

There are also Probiotic ranges that are specifically designed for women and pregnancy, as well as those attempting to lose weight or those with active lifestyles. Furthermore, a variety of products targeted for specific individuals, health issues, and life stages are also available to South Africans. These include products designed for seniors (50+), children and babies, those on antibiotic therapies, as well as those affected by various issues, such as heart and immune health, or moods and stress, amongst others.

As the industry continues to develop a wide range of tailored Probiotic products that appeal to diverse consumer markets, demand for these products are likely to increase, thereby driving the global and South African Probiotics markets.
