MARKET DYNAMICS

Market dynamics include driving and restraining factors, opportunities and challenges stating the market conditions.

Driving Factors

Functional food industry to increase the market growth

One of the significant forces behind the dietary fibers market is the growing functional food industry, with manufacturers moving toward adding more and more fibers to increase nutritional benefits as well as consumer attractiveness. Nutritionally enriched functional foods that contain dietary fiber have a variety of health advantages, such as better digestion, heart health and weight control, which are consistent with the rising trend in consumer demand of health-conscious products. Food and beverage companies are redesigning old products (bakery, dairy, cereal and beverage products) with soluble and insoluble fibers without affecting the taste or the texture of the products. In addition, the innovations in fiber extraction and formulation make it possible to integrate into different applications without difficulties. As consumers grow more and more concerned about preventive health and nutrition, product innovation, competitiveness and consumer confidence in the dynamic functional food market have made dietary fibers a major brand differentiator.

Switching to plant-based meals to increase the market growth

The rising trend of switching to plant-based meals is one of the key drivers of the dietary fibers market. Citizens all over the world are becoming more interested in natural, eco-friendly, and healthy food, so they are less dependent on the products of animal origin and processed food. Fibers that are natural sources obtained through fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes are becoming more popular because they are known to have positive effects on digestion, the heart, and one’s overall health. This trend follows a clean-label movement, the focus of which is transparency, sustainability, and a minimum amount of processing. Besides, increasing levels of environmental consciousness and the need to have lower carbon footprints are also creating pressure on the need to produce sustainable sources of fibers. Food and beverage producers are reacting by adding plant-based fibers to an extensive selection of products, including bakery and functional drinks and are helping consumers achieve their health objectives, and sustainable food production practices around the world.

Restraining Factor

Taste and texture issues to limit the market growth

A major limitation to dietary fibers market is taste and texture issues. Although fibers present many health advantages, their use in food products and beverages may adversely affect the sensory attributes of the product including taste, mouthfeel, and texture. The presence of some fibers may give a gritty or dry feel and others can change viscosity, making formulations less attractive to those consumers who are used to smooth, flavoured products. To hit the right balance of the functionality of health and sensory satisfaction formation, sophisticated formulation adjustments and sophisticated processing technologies are necessary, which raise the cost of production. Moreover, people tend to focus on taste rather than nutrition, and this factor makes it hard to accept the products enriched with fibers and become popular. Manufacturers are solving these problems by coming up with new types of fibers that have neutral flavours and are more soluble. Nevertheless, the problem of taste and texture modification is still an ongoing concern to facilitate wider adoption of fiber-enriched food and beverages all over the world.

Growth of interest in food functionalities and healthier options to opportunity in the market

Opportunity

The dietary fibers market has a great potential due to the increasing health awareness and the growth of interest in food functionalities and healthier options based on vegetarian products. The advances in fiber extraction, formulation, and fortification are allowing manufacturers to create products that have a better taste, texture and nutritional content. The further growth of the market is promoted by raising awareness about the health of the gut and immunity as well as preventing chronic diseases.

Asia-Pacific and Latin American emerging markets are huge, about the shifting eating habits and urbanization. Moreover, the clean-label movement and sustainability movement are promoting the usage of natural and upcycled sources of fibre as these open new prospects of growth to food, beverage and supplement producers across the globe.

Involve preservation of taste and product appeal could be a potential challenge

Challenge

The dietary fibers market has a number of challenges even though it has growth capabilities. Formulation challenges involve preservation of taste, texture and product appeal, and increase of high fiber content. The high cost of production and extraction might restrict affordability and massive implementation, particularly at developing locations. Unstable quality of raw materials and breakages in the supply chain are also challenges.

In addition, different international standards on the classification of fibers and health have made it difficult to comply with health claims by manufacturers. Consumer unawareness of fiber in the emerging markets on health benefits also contributes to a slow demand. Such challenges will require innovation, education, and technological advances to be addressed to ensure a continuous growth of the market.
