Human Milk Oligosaccharides industry has witnessed huge demand owing to the rising customer concerns about gut health and an increase in the use of food supplements or dietary supplements. Human Milk Oligosaccharides are prebiotics that help preserve gut health in humans. They promote bacterial growth in the gut, especially in the bifidobacteria genus, that helps to boost metabolic activity. The antimicrobial and prebiotic properties of the product allows it to be used in a wide range of foods, including pharmaceutical and medicinal foods, as well as infant formulas. HMOs are sugars, the third most abundant solid after lactose and fats in human mother milk. It improves and enhances infant health by supporting immune, cognitive development, digestion and also has the potential that benefits adults. Some of the nutrition effects of HMOs found in human milk can be mimicked by commercially manufactured HMOs. HMO that is made by fermentation helps infant formula manufacturers to produce formula that is similar to human milk than ever before, allowing formula-fed babies to reap the benefits of these vital components of mother milk. Human milk oligosaccharides have many primary roles, including infection prevention, prebiotic effects and to supply of sialic acid for brain growth. When compared to human milk, infant formulas made from bovine milk have a lower concentration of oligosaccharides. Since HMOs are beneficial to the microbiome and immunity, key players are researching and developing new techniques, such as extracting HMO from cow milk, using costly techniques or even using microbes to generate them.

Human Milk Oligosaccharides Market Segment Analysis-Drivers
Demand for HMO in Infant Formula
Owing to the concerns about child malnutrition and mortality around the world, demand for HMO in infant formula is accelerating the market growth. Human milk oligosaccharides (HMO) have prebiotic properties, the potential to improve memory and brain growth, and a high nutritional value, all of which drive consumer demand (HMO). The mother milk ability to protect babies from infection and protect them against allergic reactions would influence the market size. It appears that human milk provides long-term defense against obesity, hypertension, auto-immune, diabetes and heart diseases to human beings. The compound also prevents the attachment of microbes to gut, pathogens which organic acids, and helps to reduce inflammation and thereby drive business trends. The substance contributes to gut health by increasing the synthesis of short-chain fatty acids – a primary energy source for enterocytes and a principal molecule for the preservation of intestinal health.
Human Milk Oligosaccharides Market Segment Analysis-Challenges
High Cost of Production:
The third largest portion of human milk is human oligosaccharides that cannot be synthesized directly by means of human milk as the donor group is in limited supply. Currently, manufacturers are using chemical and enzyme synthesis for the production of human milk oligosaccharides. These methods require high resources and money, but the final output product is relatively small. For example, expensive substrates such as glycosyl transferases require enzyme synthesis and this is one of the main factors attributable to the high pricing of human milk oligosaccharides. Prebiotics in infant formula, such as fructooligosaccharides and galactooligosaccharides, are used to inhibit the development of pathogenic Escherichia coli. Consumption of these has been shown to improve the health of infants' gastrointestinal tracts by promoting the development of specific microorganisms in the intestinal microflora. Owing to their low cost and wide availability, these are being used as a replacement for human milk oligosaccharides by infant formula manufacturers. As a result, these functionally equivalent alternatives to human milk oligosaccharides are severely limiting the overall market's expansion.
