Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Infant, Child, and Maternal Probiotic Supplements Market

Before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the infant, child, and maternal probiotic supplements market was mainly driven by the rising focus of parents on specific infant nutrition and the increasing demand for nutritional supplements tailored according to the needs of pregnant women.

Moreover, production facilities were permitted to operate at full capacity, which helped them overcome the demand and supply gap and other repercussions. As numerous citizens of many countries were fully vaccinated by 2021, market players focused on increasing their production to revive their businesses.
