Insoluble Dietary Fibers Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Product (Hemicellulose, Chitin & Chitosan, Cellulose, Fiber/Bran), Source (Legumes, Cereals & Grains, Fruits), Application (Pharmaceutical & Dietary Supplements, Pet Food, Animal Feed, Functional Food & Beverages), and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Insoluble Dietary Fibers Market is accounted for $2.39 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach $5.03 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 11.2% during the forecast period. The insoluble dietary fibers are essential to ensure optimal metabolism in humans. These substances help in maintaining a healthy digestive system as they are not absorbed by the body, which results in efficient functioning of all the systems. These fibers can be found more easily in various foods such as vegetables, wheat bran, and whole grains. Though insoluble dietary fibers are not directly absorbed by the digestive system, they move through the body to make stools softer and easy to pass. It offers high water absorption properties insoluble fiber, which are applicable for feed industries, functional food products, and pharmaceutical industries.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Growth in demand for functional foods
Changes in lifestyles and lack of time have led to high utilization of functional foods in countries around the world, especially in Asia. With expansion in busy lifestyles, workload, and enlarge in the numeral of working women, the time and means to eating healthy food have abridged. This has resulted in the increasing demand for products that proffer balanced nutrition. Hence, the consumer demand for nutraceuticals, functional foods, and supplements has been rising. Numerous key players offer a variety of insoluble dietary fibers obtained from diverse sources including oats, wheat, corn, potato, peas, legumes, and rice for their application in feed, food, and pharmaceutical products. This is anticipated to drive the market for insoluble dietary fibers.
Restraint:
Cost-intensiveness
Insoluble dietary fibers cannot be digested by human being owing to lack of essential enzymes in the digestive tract. More specifically, dietary fibers are resistant to hydrolysis. As dietary fibers cannot be digested, they overtake through the body almost unaffected and cannot be used as an energy basis. These properties of fibers are useful in the physiological functions that they do. Though, the same characteristics become an obstruction while incorporating fibers as ingredients in food products. Blending of fibers into the product is of high importance for the chemical stability of the product across range of temperatures, and requires time. Further, there would be an economic impact on the manufacturer due to the high price of dietary fibers and also the difference in the technology involved in obtaining them.
Opportunity:
Increasing application of insoluble dietary fiber in bakery food products and cereals & grains
The increasing application of insoluble dietary fiber in bakery food products is anticipated to bring novel market opportunities in the near future. They are used as a fat substitute product in the bakery sector, which is stimulating product infiltration. Also, its functional properties such as efficient water binding, thickening, gelling, and stabilizing will further raise its espousal in baking applications. Breakfast cereals are gaining considerable growth around the globe owing to their improved nutritional profile. This is also ascribed to growing health-conscious consumers coupled with the rising awareness regarding the adverse health effects of fast foods and over-consumption of calories that lead to various lifestyle disorders.
Threat:
Increasing gluten intolerance to stunt insoluble dietary fiber consumption
Dietary fibers can be found in legumes, whole grains such as wheat bran, cereals, brown rice, and other gluten-related foods. Gluten intolerance is one of the most frequent food sensitivities among recent patrons. Gluten-free diets are flattering ever more popular among consumers owing to the higher energy, claims of enhanced health, and weight loss. As there is a growing numeral of people sensitive to gluten-containing foods such as wheat and other grains, demand expansion of dietary fibers will be hampered. With rising incidence of celiac disease, utilization of gluten-free food products is increasing, and might hinder growth of the insoluble dietary fibers market.
The cellulose segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The cellulose segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to the innovations in cellulose & cellulose derivate applications and growing demand for biodegradable cellulose fiber due to an increasing level of global warming in the environment. Cellulose is insoluble dietary fiber used in a wide range of food applications such as meat products, poultry products, and bakery items. It plays a very prominent role in human nutrition as it prevents diverticular disease, a condition that affects the colon wall. These fibers with low water absorption capacity are mainly used for providing fiber enrichment in different types of bakery products such as bread and tortillas. Moreover, key players and management authorities to capitalize more investment in the global insoluble dietary fibers market during forecast period.
The functional food & beverages segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The functional food & beverages segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth, due to the changing diet patterns, and changing consumer food preferences toward high fiber foods. The functional food & beverages includes beverages, bakery, meat products, energy drinks, and other enhanced and enriched food and beverages. The utilization of extra insoluble dietary fibers with food leads to the prevention of health disorders such as hyperglycemia, constipation, obesity, and high cholesterol. Due to the shifting diet patterns and the growing health concerns, insoluble dietary fibers have begun to form an integral part of processed and packaged food in a bid to meet nutritive requirements.
Region with highest share:
North America is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period, due to rising healthcare spending per capita, growing nutritional & gastrointestinal disease incidences, and rising demand for functional food. The region is characterized by large populace with diabetes and obesity seeking for weight-loss programs and dietary supplement products. Consumers in North America are gradually becoming aware of the health benefits provided by insoluble dietary fibers their significance in enhancing immunity. The United States and Canada dominate the market share owing to the increase in intake of supplements based on insoluble dietary fibers and its use as an ingredient in most of the functional food and beverages. For instance, FDA under U.S. Nutritional facts label in 2016 have mandated to prove the physiological benefits of the products mentioned under ‘dietary fiber’ by the manufacturers, which influences them to evaluate and purify their products that leads to enhanced product development.
Region with highest CAGR:
Asia Pacific is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period owing to growing demand for functional foods, increased western influence in the countries, and changing lifestyles. These countries have vast areas under agriculture and produce high-fiber grains & cereals such as oats and barley, which are the primary raw materials for insoluble dietary fiber ingredients. China is leading market, followed by Japan and India due to higher consumption of meat and sea food. Healthy lifestyle coupled with government campaigns are expected to improve global market for insoluble dietary fibers in Asia Pacific.
