To track probiotic ecommerce, this is the best tool we’ve tried. At the end of the day, it covers a lot of countries and products without losing accuracy. We always keep an eye on Lumina for anticipating the trends in probiotics. We have a very broad pipeline of development and always need to prioritise – we rely on these trend reports to sometimes decide on what we develop first.

Lumina provides us which some key differentiating elements which are really useful for us. For example, which suppliers are behind each one of the already existing products on the market. With Lumina we get real data and the confidence that the people working behind the data are people that know the market. This, given the situation in the probiotics market nowadays, is really quite unique.

We were seeking a way to evaluate the probiotics market in terms of market value, products, product labelling, strains used, and how developing trends differ by target population and application. Lumina Intelligence has provided us with the data to do this. We can now better evaluate the direction of trends and different applications based on target populations; it’s become a critical tool for us.
