Probiotic supplements are live microorganisms available in the form of powders, tablets, capsules, etc.; these supplements are consumed to restore or improve gut flora. Health has become a top priority for consumers across the world, leading to a boom in demand for functional supplements. Consumers are willing to pay more for products that offer enhanced health benefits. There has been a massive demand for plant-based and non-GMO (containing no genetically modified organisms/components) probiotic supplements. In addition, the growing trend of plant-based and non-GMO products is rapidly evolving worldwide, which has compelled probiotic supplement manufacturers to develop plant-based supplements. Veganism has gained significant momentum in recent years. Consumers are highly inclined toward plant-based products as they perceive them to be healthier than conventional products. Thus, due to the flourishing trend of veganism, the manufacturers of dietary supplements such as probiotic supplements are launching plant-based products.
The probiotic supplements market, based on distribution channel, is segmented into supermarkets and hypermarkets, specialty stores, online retail, and others. The specialty stores segment held the largest market share in 2021, whereas the online retail segment is expected to register the fastest CAGR from 2022 to 2028. Online retail is one of the fastest-growing distribution channels due to the convenience associated with shopping and product delivery. Online retail stores offer a wide variety of products with heavy discounts. Further, consumers can conveniently buy required products from remote locations. Online retailers are likely to increase their sales and profits faster than retail shops, as selling online offers the advantage of being available 24×7. Moreover, shopping platforms offer descriptive product information and user reviews, which helps buyers compare products and make wise purchasing decisions.
In 2021, North America held the largest share of the probiotic supplements market. The consumption of probiotic supplements is gradually increasing in North America owing to the factors such as rising consumer awareness about digestive health, and probiotic strains and their health benefits.

According to a report by the GI Alliance, published on January 23, 2021, 20 million North Americans are diagnosed with chronic digestive diseases. Digestive diseases, associated with distress and pain, represent one of the most severe health problems in North American countries.
