The growing demand for functional foods is expected to drive the growth of the dietary fiber market in the future. Functional foods are often selected for their various health benefits and nutritional value. When dietary fiber is added as a supplement to meals, it is considered a functional food because it serves a specific role beyond its typical expected function. For example, in May 2023, the International Nut and Dried Fruit Council, a Spain-based association, reported that global tree nut production reached 5.3 million metric tons in the 2022/23 season. During this time, almonds accounted for 27% of global production, followed by walnuts at 22%, cashews at 20%, pistachios at 14%, and hazelnuts at 11%. The remaining 6% comprised pecans, macadamias, pine nuts, and Brazil nuts. Thus, the increased demand for functional foods is propelling the growth of the dietary fiber market.

The dietary fibers market is anticipated to grow with the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases. Chronic diseases, lasting three months or more, can be mitigated with dietary fiber known for promoting digestive health, aiding in weight management, and controlling blood sugar levels. As consumers actively seek products contributing to overall well-being and offering preventive measures against chronic diseases, the demand for dietary fibers is on the rise. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), the global number of people with chronic diseases is projected to reach 142.66 million by 2050, up from 71.522 million in 2020. This surge in chronic diseases contributes to the growth of the dietary fibers market.

Product innovation is a prominent trend gaining traction in the dietary fibers market. Leading companies in this sector are concentrating on creating new products to enhance their market presence. For example, in January 2023, Fiberstar Inc., a US-based biotechnology firm specializing in natural and clean, plant-based ingredient solutions, introduced a new line of organic citrus fibers - the Citri-Fi® 400 series. This innovative Citri-Fi 400 organic series is derived from the citrus juicing process and contains both insoluble and soluble fiber. Its intact native pectin provides exceptional water-holding and emulsification properties, resulting in a pleasing mouthfeel. With its dual functionality, Citri-Fi 400 improves texture, stability, and nutrition in a variety of food and beverage products, with usage rates below 1%. It can be incorporated into baked goods, dairy products, processed meats, dressings, sauces, frozen foods, and plant-based items like meat substitutes and dairy alternatives.

Leading companies in the dietary fibers market are focusing on creating innovative products, including clean label options, to secure a competitive advantage. Clean label products are food and beverage items that embody the principles of clean eating and feature labels with simple, easy-to-understand, and minimally processed ingredients. For example, in July 2022, Ingredion Incorporated, a US-based food company, introduced two citrus-based dietary fibers, Fibertex CF 502 and Fibertex CF 102, as part of its strategy to meet the rising demand for clean labels and support nutrition, health, and wellness trends. These fibers, derived from unused side-streams, contain over 90% dietary fiber and can substitute for ingredients such as fats, hydrocolloids, and modified starches, contributing to reductions in fat, sugar, and calories across various applications. Marketed as a new wave of clean label ingredients, they improve nutritional profiles, promote sustainability, and offer sensory experiences.
