During the forecast period, the global human microbiome market is expected to register a CAGR of 22.42% and be worth USD 6867.60 million by 2032 from USD 1361.38 million in 2024.
The patient count suffering from chronic diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), diabetes, and obesity is growing rapidly worldwide. These diseases have a close connection with changes in the microbiome. Due to this, the demand for microbiome-based therapies has increased significantly and also led to the development of several microbiome therapies such as probiotics, prebiotics, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), and microbial therapeutics. These are believed to be restoring the balance of the microbiome and improving health outcomes.
The rising awareness among people and healthcare professionals regarding the importance of microbiomes in maintaining overall health is driving the demand for microbiome products and services and contributing to human microbiome market growth. Several healthcare organizations have conducted numerous research and developmental activities to understand the role of the microbiome in overall health and developed new microbiome-based therapies and diagnostic tools. This trend is likely to continue in the coming years and contribute to market growth.
In addition, the growing number of investments by the market participants for the development of innovative and effective microbiome products and services, rapid adoption of technological developments in sequencing and analysis to develop innovative microbiome-based products and services and the growing demand for personalized medicine drive the human microbiome market growth. Furthermore, factors include rising awareness among people and healthcare providers regarding the benefits of probiotics and prebiotics such as dietary supplements and functional foods, the favorable regulatory environment of microbiome-based therapies by regulatory bodies and increasing demand for natural and sustainable products fuel the market’s growth rate. Increasing adoption of microbiome-based testing, rising emphasis on preventive healthcare, growing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant infections, rising demand for animal feed additives and rising usage of microbiome-based therapies in clinical trials further accelerate the growth of the human microbiome market.
A limited understanding of the microbiome is one of the major factors hampering the growth of the human microbiome market. High costs associated with the development and commercialization of microbiome-based products and therapies and limited reimbursement policies further hinder the market’s growth rate.
