Galacto-oligosaccharide Market Insights, 2025
In 2025, the galacto-oligosaccharide (GOS) market is growing as this prebiotic ingredient gains wider use in infant formula, functional foods, and dietary supplements. GOS supports the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, particularly Bifidobacteria, contributing to digestive health and immune function. Commercial production typically involves enzymatic conversion of lactose using β-galactosidase, with process optimization improving yield and purity. In infant nutrition, GOS is often combined with fructo-oligosaccharides to mimic the oligosaccharide profile of human milk. Food and beverage companies are incorporating GOS into dairy products, cereals, and beverages targeted at gut health-conscious consumers. Research into adult health benefits, including potential roles in mineral absorption and metabolic health, is expanding application potential. Regulatory approvals in multiple jurisdictions have facilitated wider market entry, though labeling requirements vary. Supply chain resilience, including lactose sourcing, is an important operational consideration for manufacturers.
