Additionally, the launch of advanced yogurt variants fortified with extra minerals, vitamins, and fibers has accelerated the product adoption rate. Along with this, the availability of a wide range of probiotics, stirred and pulp-laced yogurts have catalyzed the market growth. Besides this, the introduction of drinkable and spoonable yogurt variants in innovative packaging solutions, such as containers equipped with anti-choking caps and squeezable tubes, is another major growth-inducing factor. Apart from this, the rising demand for probiotic foods and supplements that enhance digestion, reduce irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms, prevent antibiotic side effects, and improve metabolism is contributing to market growth.
