Global Short Chain Fructooligosaccharides Market 2023 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2029


According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Short Chain Fructooligosaccharides market size was valued at USD 270.6 million in 2022 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 350.9 million by 2029 with a CAGR of 3.8% during review period.

Short Chain Fructooligosaccharides (scFOS), are a type of carbohydrate compound composed of a relatively small number of fructose molecules linked together with glucose molecules at one end. They belong to the broader category of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) and are considered prebiotic fibers, which means they can promote the growth and activity of beneficial bacteria in the gut, such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli.



The term "short chain" in short chain fructooligosaccharides refers to the fact that they typically consist of 2-9 fructose units, as opposed to long-chain fructooligosaccharides, which can have more fructose units linked together. scFOS are not digested in the small intestine, so they pass into the colon largely intact, where they serve as a food source for beneficial gut bacteria. This fermentation process by gut bacteria can have several health benefits, including improved gut health, enhanced nutrient absorption, and potential immune system support.



Currently, short-chain fructooligosaccharides are mainly produced using sucrose concentrate as raw material, with a degree of polymerization between 3 and 5.
