By type, bacterial consortia transplantation (BCT)/ fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), live bacteria products, and others segment the human microbiome market. Live bacteria products accounted for the largest share of the human microbiome market in 2024. This category includes probiotics and synbiotics, which are widely used in consumer health supplements and emerging therapeutic applications. The dominance of live bacteria products is driven by strong consumer demand for digestive and immune health solutions, along with increasing clinical validation of specific bacterial strains. These products are often easier to formulate, regulate, and distribute compared to more complex microbiome therapies, allowing for faster commercialization.
Additionally, ongoing advancements in encapsulation and delivery technologies have improved bacterial stability and survivability through the gastrointestinal tract, enhancing their effectiveness. The growing focus on personalized nutrition and preventive health has further expanded the adoption of live bacteria products across various age groups and health segments. Fecal microbiota transplantation/biological combination therapies (FMT/BCT) accounted for the second-largest share, supported by approved drugs such as VOWST and Rebyota for recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection.
By end users, the human microbiome market is segmented by end users, hospitals & clinics, long-term care facilities, and other end users. Hospitals and clinics accounted for the largest share of the human microbiome market in 2024. This is largely due to their critical role in administering, monitoring, and regulating microbiome-based therapeutics, particularly those targeting infectious and gastrointestinal conditions. Approved products such as VOWST and Rebyota, used to prevent recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection, are typically prescribed and delivered in clinical settings under medical supervision. These facilities provide the necessary infrastructure for managing live microbial therapies, which may require cold-chain storage, specialized handling, and follow-up care. Hospitals and clinics are also key sites for clinical research, including patient enrollment for microbiome-based drug trials and real-world evidence studies. Their involvement enables close monitoring of patient outcomes, adverse events, and long-term therapeutic effects, all of which are essential for the advancement of microbiome science and regulatory approval processes. Moreover, the rising prevalence of chronic conditions linked to microbiome imbalance, such as inflammatory bowel disease and metabolic disorders, has led to increased hospital-based consultations and treatment protocols involving microbiome interventions. The presence of trained healthcare professionals, diagnostic tools, and institutional trust further supports the strong uptake of microbiome products within hospital and clinical environments.
By geography, in 2024, North America accounted for the largest share of the human microbiome market. This leading position is supported by a well-established biotechnology ecosystem, strong research and development infrastructure, and the presence of major market players such as Seres Therapeutics, Seed Health, and IFF. The region has seen significant regulatory progress, with the US FDA approving the first microbiome-based drugs, including Rebyota and VOWST, for the prevention of recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection. These approvals have encouraged further investment in microbiome therapeutics and supplements. North America also has high adoption rates for probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics, driven by increasing consumer awareness of gut health and preventive wellness. The region supports a growing number of clinical trials and academic collaborations focused on the role of microbiomes in conditions such as gastrointestinal diseases, metabolic disorders, and cancer. Additionally, favorable healthcare spending, innovation funding, and regulatory clarity continue attracting startups and established firms. These combined factors reinforce the dominant position of North America in the global human microbiome market.
