Microbiome Therapeutics Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Product Type (Probiotics, Prebiotics, Synbiotics (Combination of Prebiotics and Probiotics)), By Disease Indication (Digestive-related Disorders (Crohn's Disease, Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Others)), Metabolic Disorders (Obesity, Diabetes, Others), Respiratory Infections, Cancer, Immune System, Oral Diseases, Skin Infections, and Others) and Region

Microbiome therapeutics market size was valued at US$ 321.58 million in 2023 and is poised to grow at a CAGR of 22.6% from 2024-2030. A microbiome is the genetic material of all microbes such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa that live on and inside the human body. Every part of the body has different types of microbes. For instance, about a third of bacteria in the gut are Bacteroides species, whereas Streptococcus species are dominant in oral health. The market plays a significant role in human health and disease conditions. The global microbiome therapeutics market is still nascent stage, very few products in the market are currently approved to treat various therapeutic conditions. Start-ups are very active in terms of microbiome therapeutics market growth, product launches, research, and development activities.

However, bigger players in the microbiome therapeutics market are focused on providing funding, collaborating, and acquiring smaller players to promote the research activities. Furthermore, Venture Capitalists and Government Organisations are actively involved in funding and encouraging research activities. The launch of microbiome therapeutics products in the market is expected to fuel the demand of the market over the forecast. For instance, in May 2014, Pfizer entered an agreement with Second Genome to research obesity and metabolic disorders.

In April 2016, the company also raised US$ 42.6 Mn in Series B funding led by Pfizer Venture Investments and Roche Venture Fund. The funding amount will be used to conduct the clinical investigation on SGM-109, a small molecule inhibitor of a microbiome-mediated target to address inflammation and pain conditions in ulcerative colitis.

In February 2016, Synlogic raised US$ 40 Mn in Series B from OrbisMed Healthcare Fund Management to expand its research programs on inflammatory bowel disease conditions and to develop therapeutics for inborn errors of metabolism of Urea Cycle Disorder and Phenylketonuria conditions.
