The European probiotics market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.7% from 2014 to 2019.

A large number of small players hold a major share of European probiotic market. In 2014, Danone (France) led the European market with a share of 18.24%, followed by Danish firm Chr. Hansen with market share of 14.51%. These companies are active in all major countries of Europe, such as France, Italy, Germany, the U.K., Switzerland, and Russia.

Many firms such as Danone (U.S.), Chr. Hansen (France), DuPont (U.S.), Lallemand Health Solutions (Canada), and Yakult Honsha Co. Ltd. (Japan) are operationally active in the European continent. To serve the growing market, these firms adopted strategies such as collaborations, mergers and acquisitions, agreements, and partnerships. For instance, DuPont (U.S.) and AB-Biotics (Spain) signed a global collaboration and licensing agreement on AB-Life, a probiotic that is clinically documented to maintain healthy levels of cholesterol in at-risk individuals.

In 2014, Germany was the largest probiotic market, by value, followed by the U.K. and France. Russia recorded the highest CAGR among the European countries during the estimated period.
