Rising Preterm Births Fuel Galacto-oligosaccharide Market Expansion Driver: A Major Catalyst in the Evolution of the Galacto-Oligosaccharide Market in 2025

How Is the Galacto-Oligosaccharide Market Projected to Grow, and What Is Its Market Size?
In recent years, the galacto-oligosaccharide market has experienced robust growth. Its size is expected to increase from $0.85 billion in 2024 to $0.93 billion in 2025, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. The expansion during the historical period can be linked to several factors. These include a growing awareness of health matters, a surge in demand for prebiotics, an increase in gut health research, wider applications in functional food and beverages sector, a rising demand for functional foods, growth in the infant nutrition industry, and an increased consumer focus on gut health.

In the ensuing years, the galacto-oligosaccharide market is projected to witness a substantial growth, increasing to $1.33 billion by 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. This growth during the predicted period is a result of heightened consumer awareness about the advantages of gut health, escalating demand for prebiotics in functional food products, wider applications in infant nutrition, increased R&D expenditure in health supplements, a growing inclination towards natural and clean-label ingredients, and a rise in digestive disorders. The projected period is also likely to see significant trends such as progress in manufacturing technology, enhancement in food and beverage formulations, development in food technology, improvements in prebiotic research, and evolution in formulations.

What Are the Primary Growth Drivers for the Galacto-Oligosaccharide Market?
An upswing in premature births is anticipated to drive the expansion of the galacto-oligosaccharide market. Infants born prior to the standard 37 weeks of gestation are considered premature, which can lead to health complications due to underdeveloped organs or systems. An increase in such births has been linked to advanced maternal age, lifestyle habits, medical procedures, and pre-existing health issues. Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) can lessen the risk of premature delivery by fostering beneficial gut microbiota, resulting in less inflammation and better pregnancy outcomes. As per Tommy's, a pregnancy and infant loss charity based in the UK, in December 2022, the rate of premature births in England and Wales had climbed to 7.9% in 2022, a rise from 7.5% in 2021, indicating a consistent growth over a two-year span. The North West of England witnessed the highest rates at 8.5%, whereas the South West registered the lowest rates at 7.5%. The incidence of premature births in Black babies stood at 8.5%, with Black Caribbean babies exhibiting the maximum rate of 10.2%. Consequently, the growing trend of premature births is bolstering the galacto-oligosaccharide market's growth.
