Global Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) Market Growth 2025-2031
Description
The global Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) market size is predicted to grow from US$ 955 million in 2025 to US$ 1556 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.5% from 2025 to 2031.
The impact of the latest U.S. tariff measures and the corresponding policy responses from countries worldwide on market competitiveness, regional economic performance, and supply chain configurations will be comprehensively evaluated in this report.
Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) are functional prebiotic oligosaccharides composed of galactose molecules with a terminal glucose unit. Naturally present in human and bovine milk, GOS selectively stimulate the growth and activity of beneficial gut microbiota such as Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli, contributing to improved digestive health and immune system support. They are widely used in infant formula, functional foods, and dietary supplements.
Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) are recognized as functional prebiotics with established benefits in gut health improvement, immunity enhancement, and mineral absorption. As a non-digestible carbohydrate, GOS promotes the proliferation of beneficial bacteria such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, making it a widely adopted ingredient in infant formula, dairy products, functional beverages, and nutritional bars.
GOS products are mainly offered in two forms: Liquid and Powder. The liquid form (typically 55-70% concentration) is favored in liquid dairy, beverages, and syrups due to ease of incorporation but poses challenges in storage and transportation. The powder form, suitable for infant formula, solid beverages, nutrition bars, and baked goods, offers superior storage stability and blending flexibility, though it requires careful moisture control and may dissolve slower in certain processes. The rising trend of dietary supplements and portable functional foods has significantly boosted demand for powder GOS in recent years.
In terms of application, the Food & Beverage segment remains dominant, with widespread use in infant formula (1.5%-10%), yogurts, fermented milk, and plant-based or sports beverages. The Dietary Supplements sector is experiencing rapid growth, driven by adult prebiotic and gut-health awareness, with expanding applications in probiotic capsules, powders, and liquid supplements. Meanwhile, the Others category, such as pet food, animal feed, and skin care products, is emerging, especially in Asia's booming pet nutrition market.
Regionally, the Asia-Pacific market (China, Japan, Korea) leads in growth due to increasing health awareness and infant formula upgrades, while Europe maintains maturity through stringent regulations and product penetration. North America shows potential in functional foods and adult supplements. Intense competition exists between local Chinese players and global leaders such as FrieslandCampina, Yakult, DuPont, and Nissin.
Future trends point towards high-purity, chain-length-specific GOS, elderly and sports nutrition applications, and cost reductions via synthetic biology technologies.
