The global Oligosaccharide for Infant Formula market size is predicted to grow from US$ million in 2025 to US$ million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of %from 2025 to 2031.

Oligosaccharides for infant formula refer to a group of carbohydrates that are added to infant formula to mimic the naturally occurring oligosaccharides found in human breast milk. Oligosaccharides are composed of a small number of sugar molecules linked together, typically ranging from two to ten sugar units.

Human breast milk contains a variety of oligosaccharides that play important roles in promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria in the babys gut and supporting overall gut health. However, these oligosaccharides are not present in standard cows milk-based infant formulas. To bridge this gap, oligosaccharides derived from either human milk or other sources, such as plants, are added to infant formula.

The most commonly used oligosaccharides in infant formula include galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) and fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS). These oligosaccharides are structurally similar to the ones found in human breast milk and serve as a food source for beneficial bacteria (probiotics) in the babys gut. By promoting the growth of these beneficial bacteria, oligosaccharides help establish a healthy gut microbiota and support various aspects of infant health and development.

Adding oligosaccharides to infant formula offers several potential benefits. They can contribute to the development of a balanced and diverse gut microbiome, which may support the babys immune system, aid in digestion, and potentially reduce the risk of certain health conditions, such as allergies and infections. Additionally, oligosaccharides in infant formula may have prebiotic effects, which means they selectively stimulate the growth and activity of beneficial bacteria while inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria.

Its important to note that oligosaccharides in infant formula should not be confused with prebiotics or probiotics. While oligosaccharides serve as prebiotics, providing nourishment for probiotics, probiotics themselves are live bacteria or yeasts that can provide direct health benefits when consumed.
