According to the report published by MarketsandMarkets (www.marketsandmarkets.com), probiotic market was valued at $24.23 billion in 2011 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2012 to 2017. In 2011, APAC led the global market with share of 40.0% followed by Europe and North America in terms of revenue.

Probiotics are live microorganisms that are similar to the beneficial microorganisms found in humans and are hence generally regarded as safe (GRAS). Though they have been in existence for many years, the proper appreciation of their benefits is only a recent phenomenon. More and more research are being undertaken to validate their efficacy; so far, such activities have demonstrated their effectiveness in cases of antibiotic associated diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, lactose intolerance, oral health, etc. The functional ingredients in the probiotic products help in balancing the intestinal micro-biota resulting in enhanced overall health, wellbeing, and boosts immune system.

Probiotics market has been one of the prime beneficiaries of the recent fad over functional foods. Rising levels of health consciousness and ageing baby boomer population are few of the drivers helping in the growth of the market. This gathers more importance considering the fact that probiotic F&B segment is expected to command over 85% of the overall probiotics market in 2011.

Probiotic dairy products are expected to command the highest market share among all the probiotic foodstuffs accounting for almost 80% in the year 2011 and reach a market size of almost $23.93 billion by 2017. The biggest markets for these products are Europe and Asia-Pacific. The North American market has gradually opened up to these products in the recent past and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.0% from 2012 to 2017, the biggest contributor being supplements and specialty nutrients. Though the market base of probiotic products is comparatively lesser in the U.S. in comparison to countries across the globe, the market is expected to grow at a promising rate of almost 6.8% in the same period driven by the large scale acceptance of the probiotic yogurts in spoonable single serve packs and probiotic cultured drinks in single shot packaging form and probiotic dietary supplements.

Products that fall under the niche category presently, such as probiotic chocolates, probiotic ice creams, and probiotic baked products are expected to enjoy a larger market share. Consumers’ willingness to pay the premium price for fortified products with proven benefits is a key driver for these segments.. However, probiotic cheese, probiotic butter, etc. are fated to the status of ultra-niche products due to their conventional image as unhealthy dietary products.

APAC forms the largest market for probiotics with an estimated $14.55 billion by 2017. Its 6.9% CAGR from 2012 to 2017 is driven by consumer demand for health enhancing probiotic products such as probiotic yogurts, other probiotic dairy products, and probiotic dietary supplements. Europe is the second largest segment and it is expected to reach $11.87 billion by 2017 growing at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2012 to 2017.

Europe is the highest consumer of turbochargers mainly due to the introduction of new standards such as Euro V and Euro VI which strongly emphasize on the reduction of CO2 as Europe accounts for almost 20% of all CO2 emissions with passenger cars contributing around 12%. According to European Automobile Manufacturers Association, in 2011, the total passenger cars produced in Europe accounted for 26% of the global production. Thus, in order to control the CO2 emissions and also provide better fuel economy, turbochargers are being used to a great extent.

Asia-Pacific is also another big market for turbochargers as there are big automobile manufacturing markets in China, Japan, and South Korea. In Asia-Pacific, China is the biggest market for turbochargers with a penetration rate of 18% in 2011 and a penetration rate of about 15% in passenger cars.

North America is far behind Europe and Asia-pacific in the use of turbochargers in automotive. It is mainly using turbochargers in gasoline vehicles but the trend is shifting slowly due to the strict emission and fuel economy standards set by U.S. CAFÉ organization. The turbo penetration rate in passenger cars was just 7%. In ROW, Brazil and Russia are two big markets of turbochargers in automotive. The penetration rate of turbochargers in Brazil was around 11% in 2011.

The drivers of the industry are identified as stringent carbon emission norms, engine downsizing trend, and growing passenger vehicles market. The restraining factors are identified as low preference of diesel passenger cars in North America and Asia-Pacific and weak penetration of turbochargers in gasoline engines. The issues in the market are mainly pertaining to that of the usage of counterfeit products; increased preference of gasoline passenger cars; and gradual shift towards electrically assisted turbochargers. The turbocharger manufacturers are closely working with their distributors and automotive manufacturers to address to the growing demands from end-users. The industry players are following strategies such as consolidation and capacity expansion to address to the demands generated by end-user industries and developing countries.

The major players in the market are Honeywell International Inc. (Switzerland), BorgWarner Inc. (U.S.), Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd (Japan), IHI Corporation (Japan), Cummins Turbo Technologies (U.K.), Bosch Mahle Turbosystems GmbH Co. KG (Germany), and Continental AG (Germany).
