Why is Demand for Bacteriophage Set to Increase Steadily?

“Rising Consumer Awareness about Healthy Gut Microbiome”

Nowadays, consumers’ interest is skewed towards products with associated health benefits. Hence, there has been a shift towards more conventional treatments, thereby driving the sales of bacteriophages.

The prevalence of gastrointestinal symptoms is on the rise due to changing and hectic lifestyles of the population. Bacteriophages are known to preserve healthy bacteria in the stomach, which, in turn, facilitates better digestion, regular bowel movements, and reduced intestinal inflammation. Bacteriophage is thus well acknowledged by consumers as pre/probiotic dietary supplements.

“Availability of Bacteriophage Products via e-Commerce Platforms”

Bacteriophage consumed as pre/probiotic has been segmented under the category of dietary supplements, and is readily available not only in pharmacies and medical dispensaries but also in supermarkets and hypermarkets. With the development in technology and its adoption by the population, digitalization has become a part of our everyday life, with e-Commerce platforms gaining more preference.

The availability of bacteriophage-based products via online channels will not only provide manufacturers with better customer outreach but will also result in global recognition of products, thereby increasing their demand. In addition, consumers get the opportunity to select from a variety of options according to their requirements.

This omnipresence of products on all sales platforms will increase market demand substantially over the coming years.

What Issue Do Bacteriophage Producers Need to Contend With?

“Exorbitant Rates of Bacteriophage Products Hurting Market Stance”

Bacteriophage is widely used as a dietary supplement in the form of pre/probiotic supplements. Despite the associated medical benefits, bacteriophage products and therapies still face a setback in the market as a trade-off of the high cost and limited consumer affordability.

Expensive machinery and processing have been the key challenges for manufacturers. The high cost of production and investments in the R&D sector for the production of bacteriophages cannot be met by all manufacturers, and also affects the final price of the product, thereby reducing its consumer reach.
