Technology Trends and Competition

Leading dairy and functional food manufacturers are intensifying competition through:

• Advanced probiotic strains offering targeted digestive and immune benefits

• Microencapsulation technologies to improve probiotic stability and shelf life

• Low- or no-sugar product innovations aligned with wellness trends
