Besides, emerging features and new technologies have gained the major attention of the end-user segment, and this factor is expected to provide rising new growth opportunities for the market over the forecast period. 

MARKET RESTRAINTS

Normally, most people cannot digest fiber due to a lack of necessary enzymes in the digestive tract. Specifically, dietary fiber is resistant to hydrolysis. Since fiber is not digested, it passes through the body almost unchanged and cannot be used as an energy source. These properties of fibers are useful in the physiological role they play. The same saturated water stability and lower reactivity create a barrier when dietary fiber is used as an ingredient. This feature could lead manufacturers to include dietary fiber as an ingredient, which is expected to be an important restraint to the growth of the dietary fiber market.

MARKET GROWTH CHALLENGES

The stringent government regulations regarding dietary fibers are expected to be a major challenge for the market’s growth over the forecast period. Also, the definition of dietary fiber varies from one country to another, based on the regulations of that particular country. For example, in the UK, dietary fiber is determined by chemical properties and digestibility, but in the US, ingredients that can be fermented in the colon are considered dietary fiber. The French definition of dietary fiber is in line with that of the Codex. In doing so, it takes into account the composition and polymerization of carbohydrates and their physiological properties. This can pose a challenge for international food and ingredient manufacturers wishing to sell and market their products on a global platform.

DIETARY FIBERS MARKET SEGMENTAL OVERVIEW

The Global Dietary Fibers market comprises of different market segments like raw material, product, application and geography. 

DIETARY FIBERS MARKET BY RAW MATERIAL 

By raw material, the Dietary Fibers market includes the key segments of 
  • Fruits and Vegetables
  • Cereals and Grains
  • Legumes
  • Nuts and Seeds
The cereals and grains segment is expected to lead the market over the forecast period. Consumption of this fiber reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as stroke and coronary heart disease. Additionally, the dietary fiber found in oats, flaxseeds, beans, and oat bran helps reduce low-density lipoproteins, which lowers total blood cholesterol levels. Some of the major soluble fibers found in whole grains, including wheat, rye, and barley, are beta-glucan, pentose, and arabinoxylans; while insoluble fiber, including lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose, is derived from grains such as rice, corn, and wheat bran. The growing importance of beta-glucan as an immunity booster in the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries is expected to drive the growth of the dietary fiber market. 
The fruit and vegetable segment is estimated to register the fastest CAGR over the estimated time period. Foods high in fiber have lower energy density and provide fewer kilojoules (calories) per gram of food. Additionally, foods high in fiber are considered bulky and filling. Conversely, soluble fiber, obtained from sources such as citrus fruits, strawberries, apples, potatoes, and peas, forms a gel that delays the transit time of food through the digestive system as well as stomach emptying. Fiber from fruits and vegetables also helps regulate blood sugar levels and prevent rapid increases in blood insulin levels, which are in turn linked to the risks of diabetes and obesity. Additionally, the health benefits, including cancer prevention, cognitive enhancement, and improved cardiovascular health, associated with the consumption of the product are expected to drive overall demand.
