Yakult Honsha is a pioneer in probiotics. It launched the probiotic drink Yakult in 1935 after Minoru Shirota's discovery of Lactobacillus casei Shirota, a strain of lactic acid bacteria, which proved to be able to live in the intestines, in 1930. It operates in 40 countries across four continents, selling mainly Yakult probiotic drinks. Apart from the retail outlets, the home delivery channel, served by a team of 83,000 Yakult Ladies globally, contributes about 45% of its probiotic drink volume. Overseas markets contribute 40% of group sales and profits. Yakult has built a meaningful presence in populated emerging markets, including China, Indonesia, Mexico, and Brazil. It plans to step up expansion in the US with a new factory in Georgia, which will triple its US production capacity.
