Consumers now are more conscious about their snacking habits and beverages and are adopting a healthy diet. Probiotic drinks when fortified with calcium and minerals fuel metabolism and are considered as a complement to weight-loss plan and a convenient way to satisfy hunger while getting the vitamins and nutrients one's body needs. Furthermore, weight management is becoming popular as obesity rates rise.

Further, the report states that a challenge to the market is the lack of validated studies and conflicts in available research. There is often disagreement between companies and health agencies on the effects and functioning of probiotic drinks. Exaggerated claims on the efficacy of products and the wide circulation of invalidated literature by companies on the side effects of probiotic drinks tend to confuse consumers and lead to their preference of natural sources of nutrition over supplements.
