The prebiotic fiber market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $7.99 billion in 2025 to $8.87 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11%.

The prebiotic fiber market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.67 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing demand for personalized nutrition solutions, rising focus on microbiome-based health, expansion of clean-label food formulations, increasing use in animal nutrition, growing investment in digestive health research. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing incorporation of prebiotic fibers in functional foods, rising demand for gut health products, growing use in dairy and beverage applications, expansion of organic prebiotic fiber offerings, enhanced focus on digestive wellness formulations.

The increasing adoption of plant-based diets is expected to drive the growth of the prebiotic fiber market in the coming years. Plant-based diets emphasize the consumption of foods derived primarily from plants, including fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes, while reducing or avoiding animal-based products. The rising popularity of these diets is driven by greater awareness of associated health benefits, ethical concerns related to animal welfare, and growing attention to environmental sustainability. Prebiotic fiber plays a key role in nourishing beneficial gut bacteria, supporting digestive health, and improving nutrient absorption from plant-based foods, thereby enhancing the overall nutritional value of such diets. For example, in January 2025, The Good Food Institute, a US-based nonprofit organization, reported that 53% of Americans have tried plant-based meat at some point, and 40% consumed it within the past year. As a result, the expanding preference for plant-based diets is contributing to the growth of the prebiotic fiber market.

Leading companies operating in the prebiotic fiber market are increasingly focused on launching functional foods and beverages fortified with prebiotic fiber, such as prebiotic fiber-enriched drinks, to appeal to health-conscious consumers seeking convenient ways to support digestive wellness. Prebiotic fiber-enriched beverages are formulated with added prebiotic fibers to promote gut health and improve digestion. For instance, in November 2023, Beliv, a US-based beverage company, introduced Mighty Pop, a soda formulated with prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics in a single product. The beverage is designed to offer a convenient and enjoyable option that also supports health. Each can contains one billion live probiotic cultures, three grams of sustainably sourced prebiotic fiber from certified carbon-neutral acacia plants, and postbiotics associated with immune and microbiome support. Mighty Pop positions itself as a healthier soda alternative, containing three grams of sugar derived from agave and only 30 calories per serving.

In May 2025, PepsiCo, Inc., a US-based food and beverage company, acquired Poppi for $1.95 billion. Through this acquisition, PepsiCo aimed to strengthen its presence in the rapidly expanding functional and better-for-you beverage segment and further diversify its portfolio with health-focused offerings. Poppi is a US-based prebiotic soda brand known for producing low-sugar beverages formulated with prebiotic fiber, fruit juice, and apple cider vinegar to support gut health.
