The global acidophilus probiotic market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period (2022-2028). Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that are either the same as or similar to the bacteria present in the human body. Some of the probiotics include Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidus and some other proprietary probiotic strains. Probiotic bacteria favorably alter the intestinal microflora balance, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, promote good digestion, boost immune function, and increase resistance to infection. Acidophilus is a probiotic bacterium that is generally found in human intestines and is vital to human health. They support preventing and treating symptoms of various diseases on account of their ability to produce lactic acid and work with the immune system.

Factors such as an increase in the use of foods with high nutritional content led by rising consumer awareness about healthy life and health-related benefits associated with the consumption of probiotic products, such as cereals, fermented meat, and probiotic-fortified foods are propelling the market growth. Moreover, more and more consumers are getting inclined towards the adoption of a safe, natural, and economical substitute for drugs, which has also driven the use of probiotic products globally. This is a major factor driving the global acidophilus probiotic market. Asian countries such as Japan are witnessing a growing demand for probiotic supplements due to an increase in the elderly population which is leading to the growing sales of probiotic supplements such as infant formulas, dietary supplements, and others. 

Some key players operating in the market include Nature’s Bounty, and Pharmavite LLC, among others. These players are eyeing to strengthen their position in the market by adopting various strategies such as mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, new product launch and development in the existing product portfolio, and so on. In December 2020, VMLOX declared that its latest acidophilus lactobacillus probiotics for women’s weight loss are up for sale on Amazon. This daily probiotic for women offers a CFU count of 40 billion. It contains a diverse range of bacterial strains, including Lactobacillus acidophilus (La-14), Lactobacillus Paracasei (LPC-37), Lactobacillus Plantarum (Lp-115), Bifidobacterium lactis (Bl-04), and fructooligosaccharides (FOS). Other key ingredients of the product include cellulose (vegetable capsule), rice maltodextrin, L-Leucine, and polysaccharides complex.
