Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for functional dietary ingredients, rising use of soluble fibers in food formulations, growing application in weight management products, expansion of clean-label fiber sources, enhanced focus on digestive health benefits.

The rising prevalence of chronic diseases is expected to drive the growth of the dietary fibers market in the coming years. Chronic diseases are illnesses that persist for three months or longer and may worsen over time. Dietary fibers are valued for promoting digestive health, supporting weight management, and regulating blood sugar levels. Consumers are increasingly seeking products that enhance overall well-being and help mitigate risk factors associated with chronic diseases. For example, in January 2023, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), a US-based National Library of Medicine, it is projected that 142.66 million people worldwide will have chronic diseases by 2050. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is supporting the expansion of the dietary fibers market.

Key companies in the dietary fibers market are developing innovative solutions, such as multifunctional plant-based fiber ingredients, to meet growing demand for clean-label formulations, improved texture, and enhanced nutritional profiles across food and beverage applications. These advanced dietary fiber products offer superior water-holding capacity, emulsification, and mouthfeel compared with conventional fibers, enabling manufacturers to optimize product quality while aligning with natural and sustainable ingredient trends. For instance, in January 2023, Fiberstar Inc., a US-based biotechnology company specializing in natural, clean, plant-based ingredient solutions, launched its Citri-Fi 400 organic citrus fiber series. This product, derived as a byproduct of the citrus juicing process, contains both soluble and insoluble fiber. Its intact native pectin provides excellent water-holding and emulsification properties, creating a pleasant mouthfeel. With dual functionality, Citri-Fi 400 enhances texture, stability, and nutrition in various food and beverage products at usage rates below 1%, and is suitable for bakery, dairy, processed meats, dressings, sauces, frozen foods, as well as plant-based alternatives such as meat substitutes and dairy alternatives.

In November 2024, Tate & Lyle PLC, a UK-based supplier of specialty food and beverage ingredients, acquired CP Kelco from J.M. Huber Corporation for approximately US$1.8 billion in cash and shares. This acquisition allows Tate & Lyle to expand its portfolio of plant-based texturizers and dietary-fiber-rich ingredients by integrating CP Kelco’s pectin, citrus fiber, and specialty gum solutions to better meet demand for healthier, clean-label foods. CP Kelco is a US-based supplier of nature-derived ingredients, specializing in pectin, citrus fiber, refined locust bean gum, xanthan gum, and other hydrocolloids used to enhance texture, stability, and fiber content in food and beverage products.
