Soluble Dietary Fibers Global Market Report 2024

The global soluble dietary fibers market has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.53 billion in 2023 to $3.85 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.0%. The growth observed during the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including increased usage in weight management products, a rising demand for soluble dietary fiber in functional foods and beverages, its incorporation into gluten-free products, the development of clean label products, and the functional properties it offers in food processing applications.

The global soluble dietary fibers market is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.58 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%. Anticipated growth in the forecast period is expected to stem from several factors, including the increasing adoption of plant-based diets, government initiatives promoting healthy eating habits, the integration of soluble dietary fiber in sports nutrition, the implementation of sustainable sourcing practices, and a heightened focus on the mental health benefits associated with these fibers. Key trends projected for this period encompass technological innovations in fiber processing, the development of low-carb products incorporating soluble dietary fibers, collaborations between the food industry and research entities, advancements in extraction technologies, and a greater emphasis on sustainability considerations within the production and utilization of these fibers.

The soluble dietary fibers market is anticipated to experience growth, driven by the increasing incidence of chronic diseases. Chronic diseases, which persist for a year or more and significantly impact daily activities, have become a global health concern. Soluble dietary fibers play a crucial role in promoting a healthy lifestyle and preventing diseases. Notably, a report from the World Health Organization (WHO) in September 2022 revealed that noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), categorized as chronic diseases, are expected to contribute to 74% of all global fatalities, accounting for 41 million deaths annually. The prevalence of chronic diseases is particularly pronounced in low- and middle-income countries, with 17 million people under 70 succumbing to these ailments each year. This surge in chronic diseases underscores the driving force behind the growth of the soluble dietary fibers market.

The soluble dietary fibers market is expected to witness growth due to increasing demand from the pharmaceutical industry. The pharmaceutical sector encompasses activities related to the discovery, development, manufacturing, and distribution of drugs and medications for medical treatment. Recognizing the significance of preventive healthcare, pharmaceutical companies are actively endorsing soluble dietary fibers for their role in preventing and managing chronic diseases. As of 2021, North America accounted for 49.1% of global pharmaceutical sales, surpassing Europe's share of 23.4%, according to data from The European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations. This increasing demand from the pharmaceutical industry contributes to the growth trajectory of the soluble dietary fibers market.

A notable trend in the soluble dietary fibers market is the emphasis on product innovations by major industry players. These companies are strategically focusing on developing innovative products to maintain their market positions. For example, in January 2021, Bellway, a U.S.-based natural fiber brand, introduced a 'next-generation' clean label soluble fiber. This innovative soluble fiber, suitable for gluten-free, keto, and paleo diets, is crafted from natural and organic ingredients. Psyllium, a key component of this soluble fiber, is recognized for its ability to nourish beneficial bacteria in the gut, contributing to enhanced immunity, clearer skin, and improved overall well-being. The pursuit of product innovation stands as a key driver for the sustained growth of the soluble dietary fibers market.

Prominent companies in the soluble dietary fiber market are strategically forging partnerships and collaborations with startups and mid-sized firms to diversify their product and service offerings. Such strategic collaborations and partnership agreements serve as effective mechanisms for expanding product portfolios and increasing geographical reach. An illustrative example is Tate & Lyle, a UK-based supplier of food and beverage products, which, in May 2022, announced the extension of its partnership with APC Microbiome Ireland, a Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) Research Centre. This collaboration involves a new two-year research project aimed at enhancing the understanding of how dietary fibers influence the functioning of the gut microbiome. Scientific research has indicated that dietary fibers can exhibit prebiotic effects by nourishing 'good' bacteria in the gut, thereby promoting a healthy composition of the microbiome. A diverse and well-functioning microbiome plays a crucial role in food digestion, immune system regulation, protection against disease-causing bacteria, and the production of essential vitamins such as B12, thiamine, riboflavin, and Vitamin K.

In an instance, Nexira, a France-based food products supplier, made a strategic move in November 2021 by acquiring UNIPEKTIN Ingredients AG for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition is poised to reinforce Nexira's standing in its core business while consolidating its market dominance in rapidly expanding categories such as plant-based alternatives, dairy alternatives, and meat substitutes. The addition of a new assortment of functional ingredients to Nexira's portfolio is expected to enhance its market position significantly. UNIPEKTIN Ingredients AG, based in Switzerland, specializes in producing premium natural food additives and ingredients, providing both insoluble and soluble dietary fiber solutions. This strategic acquisition is a testament to the companies' commitment to advancing their positions in the evolving soluble dietary fiber market.
