The high prevalence of digestive disorders drives the demand, for probiotic foods, across various consumer groups, globally. Yogurt, in both spoonable and drinkable form in different flavors, is the most preferred among the probiotic food. The progressive shift of consumers in the United States toward the digestive health-oriented products drives the market for probiotic food products. This has led yogurt to hold a 38% share in the sales value of the probiotics market in the country. The on-going trend of healthy dietary and snacking options among the Asian population is yet another factor, driving the sales of probiotics, such as kombucha, yogurts, probiotic drinks, and others, across the region. Additionally, probiotics found in sauerkraut, pickles, and other fermented food and beverages, such as kefir, buttermilk, tempeh, kimchi, and miso, have all been part of commoner's diet in Europe.
