What is OTC Probiotics Supplement Market?
OTC probiotic supplements encompass all types of supplements available in various distribution channels, often referred to as non-prescription probiotic supplements. The increasing popularity of probiotic dietary supplements coupled with increasing health awareness should drive the growth of the market over the forecast period. In addition, the growing scope of probiotics is expected to drive demand in the years to come. In addition, there are favorable prospects for medical nutrition in developed countries such as the United States and Germany due to the increasing prevalence of digestive diseases and problems. Growing health awareness has led to increased spending on probiotic supplements and, due to factors such as changes in lifestyle and eating habits, further increases the consumption of foods high in sodium, contributing to the high prevalence of gastrointestinal diseases. All of these factors should drive demand for probiotics over the forecast period. However, the availability of substitutes remains a major challenge for the widespread adoption of pharmaceutical probiotic products.

The Food Safety and Standards Act of 2005 (FSSA) defines the foods for special nutritional purposes or functional foods, nutraceuticals, or dietary supplements. At present, probiotics in India are characterized as functional foods rather than medicinal products and are regulated by food laws that regulate general foods. The FSSA was passed by the Government of India with the aim of regulating various types of edible regulations for nutraceuticals, foods, and dietary supplements. Functional foods are legally defined according to the FSSA, but the categorization of food categories such as nutraceuticals and biotherapeutics is still unclear.
