Yogurt and Probiotic Drink Market to Reach USD 225.5 Billion by 2035, Driven by Demand for Gut-Health-Focused Foods

The Yogurt and Probiotic Drink Market is experiencing steady growth, driven by rising consumer awareness of gut health and the demand for functional foods.

NEWARK, DE, UNITED STATES, May 21, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The global Yogurt and Probiotic Drink Market is poised to witness steady expansion, with an estimated value of USD 211.9 billion in 2025, projected to reach USD 225.5 billion by 2035, growing at a value-based CAGR of 7.6% over the forecast period.

This growth trajectory is fueled by increasing consumer preference for functional foods that enhance gut health, immunity, and overall well-being. Rising awareness around digestive disorders, coupled with scientific research into the microbiome, has pushed yogurt and probiotic drinks from niche segments into mainstream consumption.

A significant shift in consumer behavior is occurring as more people look beyond conventional foods in favor of nutrient-dense, health-promoting alternatives. Gut health, in particular, has taken center stage, as emerging science highlights its link to immunity, mental health, and metabolic function. This shift has resulted in greater investment in innovation across probiotic strains, dairy-free options, and convenient ready-to-drink formats. Yogurt, with its signature creamy texture and tangy flavor from lactic acid fermentation, and probiotic beverages, which deliver targeted doses of beneficial bacteria, are leading this transformation in functional nutrition.

Strategic mergers and acquisitions have become key growth strategies for players in the yogurt and probiotic drinks market. In recent years, Danone expanded its global footprint by acquiring WhiteWave Foods, enabling it to enhance its plant-based and organic portfolio. Similarly, PepsiCo’s acquisition of probiotic drink maker KeVita allowed it to tap into the growing demand for kombucha and fermented beverages. These moves reflect the industry's shift toward health-centric and plant-forward offerings.

Health and Wellness Trends Driving Functional Beverage Demand

A surge in global awareness about digestive health and the role of probiotic cultures in supporting the gut microbiome has catalyzed demand for fermented dairy products. Yogurt-based probiotic drinks, in particular, are increasingly embraced as nutritional supplements in drink form due to their ability to enhance digestive balance and immunity.

Consumers are gravitating toward products with clean label formulations, preferring low-sugar functional drinks and options made with natural ingredients. These trends are reinforcing the adoption of ready-to-drink dairy beverages, especially those fortified with lactobacillus and other beneficial microorganisms.
