Commenting on the report, an analyst from the research team said: “The latest trend gaining momentum in the market is Growing demand for functional gums. Consumers (especially in developed markets of the US, Germany, the UK, and others) are more aware of the health aspects of vitamins, minerals, calcium, and other nutrients owing to mass media coverage. Some consumers are health bloggers who have a broader idea of health-associated issues and current food and beverage trends in the market. The increasing inclination of consumers toward leading a healthy lifestyle has increased the overall demand for products with healthier attributes. Thus, ingredient suppliers are formulating functional ingredients to supply them to players who develop functional products.”

Factors such as new product development, refined taste, and versatility, along with improved levels of marketing support are increasing the overall demand for gums. Thus, several players are currently launching gums with new product formulations to expand their portfolios.
