A chain of galactose molecules combined with glucose molecules makes up the galacto oligosaccharide market, which is largely contained in the lactose in cow’s milk as well as some root vegetable species and bean types. Galacto oligosaccharides travel to the colon in an undigested form, promoting the development of good bacteria and bowel movement.
Major companies are focusing on research and development to bolster product portfolios, while being in sync with the current trends of the industry. This in turn is expected to support the expansion of the GOS market through the forecast period of 2019-2029.
“Companies need to focus on newer emerging applications in adult nutrition and animal feed. Since the production of GOS is concentrated only in a few countries, companies need a stronger distribution network and sales channels for timely delivery of products to end-user industries,” says the FMI analyst.
