Human Microbiome Market Trends

Growth Drivers

• Growing Incidence of Respiratory Diseases – Ongoing studies state that the lung microbiome increases the proneness to respiratory diseases and influences responses to treatment. Hence, the surge in investment in comprehending the lung microbiome to develop both diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for respiratory diseases in clinical settings will drive market growth.
• Increasing Prevalence of Gastrointestinal Disorders – According to a study, globally around 35% of people lived with functional gastrointestinal disorders in 2021. It is expected that with the growing cases of gastrointestinal disorders and digestive health, including diarrhea, constipation, and bowel incontinence, the rising influence of the human gut microbiome in both health and disease is slated to expand the market in the upcoming years.
• Rising Health Spending and Extensive Research About Human Microbiome – The increasing involvement of the human microbiome in human metabolism, nutrition, physiology, and immune function is responsible for several ongoing studies on the human microbiome and its function. The rising need to eliminate the growing healthcare expenditure worldwide by improving the gut microbiota and the human microbiome is poised to drive market expansion.

Challenges

• Strict Government Rules & Regulations- The emerging regulations by the government for the market are one of the major factors counted to slow down the market growth. For instance, probiotics are regarded as dietary supplements and no microbiome-based probiotics have received FDA approval as live biotherapeutic products (LBP).
• Lack of Knowledge about Human Microbiome Products
• Absence of Sufficient Research on the Human Microbiome
