Market Overview

The Singapore Prebiotics Market Size is described as the market of functional food ingredients and supplements that encourage the growth of good gut bacteria, thus promoting digestive health, immunity, and overall wellness. It covers prebiotic fibers like inulin, fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS), galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS), and resistant starches, which are used in food, beverages, dietary supplements, and infant nutrition products. This market involves the manufacturing, wholesaling, and retailing of these prebiotic products through retail, online, and healthcare channels in Singapore, which is a result of the rise in health consciousness, preventive nutrition trends, and the demand for functional foods.

Singaporeans are becoming more conscious about gut health and digestive wellness, hence the increasing role of functional ingredients such as prebiotics in preventive nutrition and general health. The prebiotics market in Singapore was worth approximately USD 133.63 million in 2024, and it is expected to grow at a CAGR of about 15.03% till 2035, clearly showing strong consumer preference for gut-friendly ingredients like inulin and xylo-oligosaccharides. This expansion signifies an uptrend in the usage of these products as a result of enhanced health awareness and fascination with digestive remedies.

Most Singaporean adults have used gut-related supplements; for instance, more than 90% of the surveyed adults indicated that they have consumed probiotic drinks at some point, revealing the high popularity of microbiome-related products, which are often combined with prebiotics for enhanced digestive health.
