Global Dietary Fibers Market - 2023-2030

Market Overview

Global Dietary Fibers Market reached US$ 6.4 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 12.2 billion by 2030 growing with a CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period 2023-2030. Dietary fibers are diverse in chemical composition and can be grouped generally by their solubility, viscosity, and fermentability, which affect how fibers are processed in the body.

Dietary fibers are a group of complex carbohydrates found in various plant-based fiber foods, providing essential benefits for human health. They can be broadly categorized into two types: soluble fiber and insoluble fiber. Soluble fiber dissolves in water, forming a gel-like substance in the digestive tract. Insoluble fiber, on the other hand, does not dissolve in water and adds bulk to the stool, aiding in regular bowel movements.

Functional fibers are specific types of dietary fibers that are extracted and isolated from natural sources. They possess unique functional properties and can be incorporated into food products to enhance texture, increase stability, and improve overall quality. Functional fibers, including prebiotic fibers, serve as food for beneficial gut bacteria, supporting a healthy gut microbiome and promoting digestive health.
