Human Milk Oligosaccharides Market Highlights

The Global Human Milk Oligosaccharides Market is Expected to Register a CAGR of 14.4% During the Forecast Period with a market value of USD 332.4 Million in 2030.

The role of breast milk in infant nutrition is of paramount importance as it ensures health and nourishment. However, in many cases, breastfeeding is not an option due to factors such as genetic defects, terminal diseases, and infections. In such cases, HMOs and associated functional foods play an important role in providing the required nutrition and immunity. HMOs play a major role in ensuring immunity more than nourishment. They are undigested and thus act as preferred feed for the good bacteria in the gut. This boosts the immune system, especially in infants, which helps fight viruses and infectious bacteria.
