市场概况

The Food Fibers Market is expected to experience substantial growth, expanding from USD 6.10 十亿 2022 兑美元 10.15 十亿 2028. This growth is projected to occur at a compound annual growth rate (复合年增长率) 的 8.99% 在预测期内 2023-2028.

Food fiber, also known as dietary fiber, consists of compounds found in plants that cannot be fully digested in the human gut. These fibers can be derived from fruits and vegetables and undergo isolation or modification during processing.

According to the 2021 Food and Health Survey conducted by the International Food Information Council (IFIC), 超过 56% of consumers have either incorporated or increased their intake of fiber in their diets. While the majority of consumers (92%) aim to obtain fiber from food sources, one in five individuals still supplement their diet with fiber supplements. 此外, the growth of the food fiber industry is driven by the fortification of shelf-stable food products with fiber, including natural alternative sweeteners like monk fruit extracts and stevia, as well as various snacks such as cereal, 酒吧, chips, and pretzels. 此外, protein supplements and meal replacement options often incorporate dietary fibers from diverse sources such as nuts, seeds, and chicory root.

The increasing demand for low-sugar and low-calorie food products has led to a growing trend among consumers for soluble fibers in the food fiber market. Soluble fibers such as inulin, polydextrose, and pectin are in high demand due to their use as sugar alternatives in bakery and confectionery products. Insoluble fibers like cellulose are widely used in the meat industry to improve the texture of meatloaf. The dietary supplement industry is experiencing rapid growth in the food fiber market, driven by the increasing popularity of fiber-based supplements that offer various health benefits, including improved gut health and enhanced immune function.

Consumers worldwide are recognizing the proven health benefits of dietary fibers, such as weight management, heart health, immunity, satiety, and digestive health. More than half of consumers are actively trying to increase their fiber intake. To meet this demand, manufacturers are fortifying high-value products like crisps, puffs, flakes, and other foods with dietary fibers. 然而, there is a significant gap between recommended fiber intake and actual consumption. The World Health Organization recommends 25 g/day for adult women and 38 g/day for adult men, but the global average intake falls below 20 g/day. 在美国, the average fiber intake is even lower at around 15 grams daily, which is only half the recommended amount. This gap, coupled with increased consumer focus on health and wellness, has led to the trend of fiber fortification in the food industry.

在九月 2021, the United Kingdom Food and Drink Federation (FDF) launched the ‘Action on Fiber’ initiative to increase the nation’s fiber consumption. 现在, only 9% of adults meet the recommended fiber intake. Leading food brands like Nestlé, BirdsEye, and Kellogs have supported this initiative by committing to highlight higher fiber options on product packaging and launch new products with high fiber content. The demand for plant-based, clean-label fibers like inulin has also contributed to the global trade of these ingredients.

North America is the largest market for food fiber due to increasing awareness of the health benefits associated with fiber consumption. This has driven the transition from traditional foods to high-fiber foods in the region. Soluble fiber, found in beans, oats, flaxseed, and oat bran, is in high demand as it may help lower blood cholesterol levels. In July 2021, Cargill invested USD 45 百万 (EUR 38 百万) in expanding its European portfolio of starches, 甜味剂, and texturizers to include soluble fibers, highlighting the continued growth in demand for these fibers.

In the United Kingdom, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has adopted an AOAC international method to authorize the labeling of inulin as a dietary fiber. This allows manufacturers to label inulin and oligofructose as fibers on product packaging in the UK. Clean-label food, functional food products, and plant-based and sustainable food products are gaining traction in Europe, making fibers a key ingredient in the European food industry in the coming years.

最新行业发展

在九月 2022, Cargill announced its plans to commercially introduce a soluble corn fiber ingredient in the following year. This ingredient contains a minimum of 80% fiber in its dry form, enabling products that utilize it to claim a high fiber content. Apart from acting as a bulking agent, this soluble corn fiber is low in calories and has minimal impact on the texture and color of food.

In April 2022, Tate & Lyle completed the acquisition of Quantum Hi-Tech (粤) Biological, a prebiotic manufacturer based in China, for a sum of USD 237 百万. This acquisition aligned with Tate & Lyle’s strategic objective of becoming a growth-focused food and beverage solutions company, while also strengthening its position in the rapidly expanding global dietary fiber market.

在一月 2022, Kerry Group, a leading taste and nutrition company, unveiled a new cutting-edge facility in Jeddah spanning an area of 21,500 square feet. Having invested over USD 90 million in the region over the past four years, this state-of-the-art facility represents Kerry’s most significant presence in the Middle East, North Africa, and Turkey region.
