Global dietary fibers market was worth USD 39.8 Billion in 2019. It is projected to grow at an 8.9% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), between 2020 and 2027. Market growth will be driven by rising product demand due to consumer awareness about healthy eating habits and active lifestyles. Consumers are more aware of the health benefits of fiber-based foods due to rising cases and deaths from heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and other diseases. Market growth is expected to be fueled by this. According to the National Institutes of Health's research, 60-70 million Americans have severe digestive problems. According to the Harvard School of Public Health both children and adults need at least 20-30 grams of dietary fiber daily. Consuming dietary fibers reduces your risk of developing many health conditions, including diabetes, heart disease and Diverticular disease.
The market will be driven by high demand in the U.S. for foods rich with fiber, prebiotics, or probiotics. To meet shifting consumer demand for dietary fiber-based products, many of the nation's top food and beverage brands, including Nestle, Kellogg Co. and NOW Foods, FiberOne and NuGo Nutrition, offer functional foods & beverages.
Dietary fibers help prevent constipation in humans and keep the digestive system healthy. According to the European Food Safety Authority, fiber-rich foods can improve weight maintenance, reduce type 2 diabetes, and help prevent cardiovascular disease. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), or IBS, is often advised to increase and decrease the fiber content of their diet. This will also help increase the demand for dietary fibre supplements among IBS sufferers around the world.
While dietary fibers are most well-known for their ability to support physiological functions, they cannot be eaten. Fibers are resistant to hydrolysis so they can't be used as energy sources. It is therefore difficult to incorporate fibers in food and beverage products.
It is important to combine dietary fibers in food products. This takes time and can be costly. These fibers are expensive because they take up a lot of product volume and do not contribute to energy. The economic impact of high prices for dietary fibers and the differences in technology used to obtain them is likely to limit market growth.
Cereals and grains dominated the market, accounting for 48.0% of global revenue in 2019. These fibers can reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. Flaxseeds and beans are rich in fibers that help lower low-density lipoprotein levels, which in turn reduces total cholesterol.
Beta-glucan and pentose are some of the most important soluble fibers from whole grains such as wheat, rye and barley. While insoluble fibers like lignin and cellulose can be obtained from cereals such as maize, rice and wheat bran, hemicellulose and lignin are also available from whole grains. Market growth for dietary fibers is expected to be driven by the increasing importance of beta-glucan in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries as an immune booster.
From 2020 to 2027, the fastest CAGR is expected to be in the fruits and vegetables segment. High-fiber foods have lower energy densities and offer fewer calories per gram. High-fiber foods can be bulky and filling.
In contrast, soluble fibers from fruits like citrus, strawberries, apples and potatoes form a gel which delays both the transit of food through the digestive tract and the emptying of your stomach.
The dietary fibers that are derived from fruits and vegetables can help to regulate blood sugar and prevent an increase in insulin. This is a risk factor for obesity and diabetes. The consumption of this product will likely increase the overall demand.
In 2019, the market was led by soluble dietary fibers, which accounted for 56.0% of global volume. Soluble dietary fibres are available for animal and human consumption from fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, cereals, and whole grains. Fibers, such as fructooligosaccharide (FOS) and inulin, obtained from vegetables, aids in regulating the function of the intestines; whereas pectin, obtained from fruits, such as pears and apples, improves acid reflux problems and promotes gut health.
According to the type of soluble diet fibers, the market share for inulin is expected to be the largest in 2027. It is used in many food and beverage applications as a flavor enhancer and as a fat & sugar substitute in many food applications such as bakery and confectionery products and frozen dairy desserts. Inulin research and development activities, as well as other types of soluble fibres such as pectin and polydextrose, will increase the product range on the market in the coming years.
The fastest growth in insoluble dietary fibers is expected to be over the forecast period. This is due to increasing consumption of functional food, changing diet patterns and increased health-consciousness. Insoluble dietary fibers from oats and wheat, corn, potatoes, peas and rice help to reduce the risk of various health conditions such as high cholesterol, hyperglycemia, constipation and obesity.
The market leader in 2019 was cellulose based on the types and insoluble dietary fibres. Cellulose can be used in many food applications such as meat products, poultry products, and bakery products. Cellulose fibers with high oil- and moisture-holding capacities are used in processed meat applications to preserve the moisture levels. Cellulose with low water absorption is used to enrich products such as bread, cookies and pastry fillings.
Food & Beverage applications dominated the market, accounting for over 44% of global revenue in 2019. The key factor driving the market is the consumer's confidence in the health benefits of dietary fibers. The market will continue to grow due to the increasing consumption of functional and healthy food products in the coming years.
Breakfast cereals are in high demand because of their better nutritional profile. This high demand can also be attributed to rising concerns about the health effects of fast food and processed foods, as well as the over-consumption and abuse of calories.
Many food manufacturers have also introduced new products to meet this demand. Ingredion Inc., Cargill, Inc., and other major companies continue to invest in research and development with the goal of introducing innovative products to the insoluble and soluble dietary fibers market space.
The projected growth in revenue from animal feed applications is 9.0%. These products are used to make animal feed products due to their health-promoting qualities, such as balancing intestinal microflora and maintaining intestinal immunity. Because dietary fibers are important in maintaining the optimal health and performance of animals they will be in high demand for many years to come.
Asia Pacific dominated the market in 2019, accounting for 39% of global revenue. Over the next few decades, countries such as China and Japan will be the top producers of food and beverages. The Asia Pacific region is expected to see promising trends in food and beverage production over the forecast period.
The market will be driven by rising health awareness and the growing number of fitness clubs across India over the next few year. The Indian government's National Food Security Act has also played a significant role in changing dietary habits. The demand for functional and healthy foods high in fiber will increase due to the rise in consumers' purchasing power.
North America's market is expected to grow significantly in the coming years due to increased consumption of nutrient-fortified foods products. Recent economic developments and an increasing urban population have led to significant changes in lifestyles and dietary habits. Other key drivers of the North American market are the rise in fiber intake and the promising trend in functional foods production.
Over the forecast period, the demand for fortified foods and beverages such as dairy products and bakery products in the U.S., Canada and Mexico will positively impact the market. Market demand growth is expected to be boosted by the rising popularity of Greek yogurt, sweets, and health drinks over the next few year.
This industry requires high capital investments and complex manufacturing processes. Cost-effective manufacturing can help ensure sustainability in the global marketplace. The entry of new businesses will be hindered by various regulations set forth by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration and the European Food Safety Authority. The presence of many manufacturers will also increase barriers to entry. Cargill, Inc. spent more than USD 35 million in Europe in October 2019 to add soluble diet fibers to its existing product line of sweeteners, starches, texturizers. This strategic move marks Cargill's first in Europe to soluble dietary fibres. It was done in order to offer on-trend solutions for manufacturers of distinguished products such as bakery and confectionery goods and dairy products.
