The growing demand for functional and health-oriented foods is expected to drive the growth of the rice bran market going forward. Functional and health-oriented foods are food products that deliver health benefits beyond basic nutrition by containing or being fortified with bioactive compounds and nutrient-rich ingredients that promote overall well-being and help prevent diseases. The demand for functional and health-oriented foods is rising primarily because of increasing health awareness, as consumers are increasingly opting for nutrient-dense diets to reduce the risk of lifestyle-related conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Rice bran contributes to functional and health-oriented foods by improving nutritional content and supporting metabolic health, immune function, and overall wellness through its high levels of dietary fiber, antioxidants, and essential micronutrients. For instance, in July 2025, according to the report published by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, a Canada-based government department, in 2023, total retail sales in the health and wellness segment of fortified and functional foods and beverages reached approximately US$1.00 billion. This segment was led by antioxidants, which accounted for a 25.5% market share, generating sales of US$255.4 million. Therefore, the growing demand for functional and health-oriented foods is driving the growth of the rice bran market.
