About the report

Published March 2022. The Gut-Brain Axis (GBX) is a research concept that has moved into the mainstream consciousness via mostly probiotic supplement makers that offer to alter the microbiota via probiotic supplementation which benefits brain health in some way. The scientific base is small but developing clinically, growing fast and boosted by the broader surge in microbiome study across a range of nutritional interventions that include probiotics.

Lumina reveals the evolution of ‘psychobiotics’ in 25 e-commerce markets from the brands winning the most loyal consumer engagement (and how), to the most innovative markets to business-ready scans of the e-tail environment, science, suppliers, regulations that shape the markets.

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 Intelligence helped me understand better probiotic supplement position not only at a global level but also going deeper, showing the trends related to a specific country region. It is a really completed platform that gives you an idea of the probiotic market, not only for supplements, but also for fermented food and cosmetics.

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.
