Heightened health consciousness among consumers, driven by increasing awareness of the role of nutrition in overall wellbeing, is driving the demand for dietary fibers worldwide.
With rising concerns over lifestyle-related diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular issues, the demand for functional foods and ingredients that offer tangible health benefits, and dietary fibers are at the forefront of this trend. The global dietary fibers market is likely to leverage this in the long term.
The crucial role of dietary fibers in maintaining overall colon health and wellbeing by contributing to various physiological functions remains the primary factor pushing their demand.
One of the predominant functions of dietary fibers is to promote digestive health, which is expected to remain the strongest growth driver for the global dietary fibers market.
Moreover, research has indicated time and again that the soluble dietary fibers aid in lowering the (bad) cholesterol levels (LDL) in the blood. A growing acceptance for the potential role of fibers in improved cardiovascular health is further expected to keep the demand afloat.
The preference for natural and clean label products is bolstering the market as fibers, sourced from plants, align perfectly with this inclination. Additionally, weight management concerns, and the popularity of functional foods are driving manufacturers to fortify products with dietary fibers to meet consumer demand.
Government initiatives promoting healthy eating habits and aging populations' focus on nutrition further amplify the market growth. This confluence of factors makes dietary fibers not just a trend but a staple ingredient in the expanding functional food and beverage industry, poised for sustained growth in the foreseeable future.
Key Trends Shaping the Market
The global market for dietary fibers expanded at an approximate CAGR of 8.5% through the end of 2023. Dietary fibers are mainly found in vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains.
However, as several governments were forced to implement harsh lockdowns during the pandemic, limitations were imposed on movement and business, which heavily affected the trade scenario of perishables like fruits and vegetables. This largely hampered market growth of dietary fibers.
Dietary fibers show optimistic growth trends in the years to come due to several factors such as rising consumer preference for natural food ingredients, increasing consumer awareness regarding maintenance of health, and much more.
Technological advancements in various fields of manufacturing industries along with increasing utilization of dietary fibers across various industries is fuelling demand growth of dietary fibers.
The ongoing trend of plant-based diets in various countries such as China, the UK, Italy, the US, and others is also expected to propel demand for dietary fibers in the food & beverage sector. The global dietary fibers market growth is projected to expand at a high CAGR of 7.4% over the forecast period between 2022 and 2032.
Increasing Cases of Chronic Diseases
Chronic diseases/non-communicable diseases are one of the key causes of death among adults across the world. With accelerating urbanization, people are adopting a more sedentary lifestyle, which is pushing obesity rates and cases of chronic diseases upward.
Dietary fibers are helpful in the management and prevention of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome, diverticular disease, obesity, colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel syndrome, and others.
Insoluble fiber binds to the bloodstream and adsorbs mutagens, carcinogens, and other toxins, thus preventing harmful effects to the body by the absorption of toxins and targeting those toxins for elimination.
Foods with soluble fibers such as oatmeal, beans, nuts, apples, and much more help in regulating the body’s use of sugar, which further aids in keeping hunger controlled and blood sugar in check. Thus, increased consumption of dietary fibers for leading a healthy life would drive the market for the product.
Increasing Importance of BetaGlucan as Immunity Booster
Beta-glucan is a type of soluble dietary fiber that has been associated with lowering cholesterol and improving cardiovascular health. Beta-glucan also slows down the transition of food in the intestine thereby, helping in improved digestion.
Sugar is not absorbed by the body so quickly; hence, beta-glucan minimizes the risk of blood sugar spikes and assists in the maintenance of blood sugar levels. Since beta-glucan is indigestible, it passes through the entire digestive system. It can carry cholesterol out with it as it moves through, thereby decreasing cholesterol levels.
Beta-glucan can also be used to treat cancer. It is a type of biological response modifier (BRM) that is used in immunotherapy treatment. This treatment strengthens the immune system and activates the defense response. It has the potential to delay the progression of cancer and prevent it from spreading to other places of the body.
Rising Gluten Intolerance to Stunt Dietary Fiber Consumption
Dietary fibers can be found in legumes, whole grains such as cereals, wheat bran, brown rice, and other gluten-related foods. Gluten intolerance is one of the most frequent food sensitivities among today's consumers.
Gluten-free diets are becoming increasingly popular among consumers due to the claims of improved health, higher energy, and weight loss. As there is an increasing number of people sensitive to gluten-containing foods such as wheat and other grains, demand growth of dietary fibers will be hampered.
Another restrain that might restrain dietary fibers market growth is various diseases associated with the consumption of gluten, such as infertility, celiac, and neurological disorder. With increasing prevalence of celiac disease, consumption of gluten-free food products is rising, and might hinder growth of the dietary fibers market.
Increasing Consumption of Sports Nutrition & Nutraceutical Products
The recognized health claims of dietary fibers of reducing diabetes, obesity, and cholesterol has resulted in a surge in demand for dietary fiber usage in nutraceuticals products. Dietary fibers are also known to help in keeping the gut in good shape.
Soluble dietary fibers help soften stools, and insoluble dietary fibers add bulk and aid bowel movement regularity. Constipation can be also avoided or relieved by consuming enough fiber, which aids waste movement through the body.
Dietary fibers are beneficial for muscle performance, endurance, and muscle regeneration before, during, and after training. As a result, dietary fiber foods are opening the doors for dietary fiber makers in nutraceutical and sports nutrition industries.
Increase in Research and Development Activities on Dietary Fibers
Key manufacturers are continuously researching the possible applications of dietary fibers with the support of several research institutions, public research universities, and crop institutes across the United States. Constant research is being conducted for expanded application of dietary fibers in the food business, such as food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, and possible applications in the feed industry.
The market for dietary fibers has grown as a result of rising health concerns and developments in the research and development activities. The multifunctional benefits of dietary fibers across numerous applications, as well as technological developments to employ it as a sugar substitute, are all contributing to market growth.
