“Rising Incidence of Chronic Diseases Shifting Consumers toward Dietary Fibers”
Chronic diseases/non-communicable diseases are one of the major causes of death among adults across the world. With accelerating urbanization, people are adopting a more sedentary lifestyle, which is pushing obesity rates and cases of chronic diseases upward.
Dietary fibers are helpful in the management and prevention of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome, diverticular disease, obesity, colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel syndrome, and others. Insoluble fiber binds to the bloodstream and adsorbs mutagens, carcinogens, and other toxins, thus preventing harmful effects to the body by the absorption of toxins and targeting those toxins for elimination.
Foods with soluble fibers such as oatmeal, beans, nuts, apples, and much more help in regulating the body’s use of sugar, which further aids in keeping hunger controlled and blood sugar in check. Thus, increased consumption of dietary fibers for leading a healthy life would drive the market for the product.
“Increasing Importance of BetaGlucan as Immunity Booster to Bolster Sales of Dietary Fibers”
Beta-glucan is a type of soluble dietary fiber that has been associated with lowering cholesterol and improving cardiovascular health. Beta-glucan also slows down the transition of food in the intestine thereby, helping in improved digestion.
Sugar is not absorbed by the body so quickly; hence, beta-glucan minimizes the risk of blood sugar spikes and assists in the maintenance of blood sugar levels. Since beta-glucan is indigestible, it passes through the entire digestive system. It can carry cholesterol out with it as it moves through, thereby decreasing cholesterol levels.
Beta-glucan can also be used to treat cancer. It is a type of biological response modifier (BRM) that is used in immunotherapy treatment. This treatment strengthens the immune system and activates the defense response. It has the potential to delay the progression of cancer and prevent it from spreading to other places of the body.
“R&D Activities on Dietary Fibers to Provide Growth Opportunities in the Global Market”
Key manufacturers are continuously researching the possible applications of dietary fibers with the support of several research institutions, public research universities, and crop institutes across the United States. Constant research is being conducted for expanded application of dietary fibers in the food business, such as food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, and possible applications in the feed industry.
The market for dietary fibers has grown as a result of rising health concerns and developments in R&D activities. The multifunctional benefits of dietary fibers across numerous applications, as well as technological developments to employ it as a sugar substitute, are all contributing to market growth.
“Increasing Consumption of Sports Nutrition & Nutraceutical Products to Provide New Opportunities”
The recognized health claims of dietary fibers of reducing diabetes, obesity, and cholesterol has resulted in a surge in demand for dietary fiber usage in nutraceuticals products. Dietary fibers are also known to help in keeping the gut in good shape.
Soluble dietary fibers help soften stools, and insoluble dietary fibers add bulk and aid bowel movement regularity. Constipation can be also be avoided or relieved by consuming enough fiber, which aids waste movement through the body.
Dietary fibers are beneficial for muscle performance, endurance, and muscle regeneration before, during, and after training. As a result, dietary fiber foods are opening the doors for dietary fiber makers in nutraceutical and sports nutrition industries.
“Rising Gluten Intolerance to Stunt Dietary Fiber Consumption”
Dietary fibers can be found in legumes, whole grains such as cereals, wheat bran, brown rice, and other gluten-related foods. Gluten intolerance is one of the most frequent food sensitivities among today's consumers.
Gluten-free diets are becoming increasingly popular among consumers due to the claims of improved health, higher energy, and weight loss. As there is an increasing number of people sensitive to gluten-containing foods such as wheat and other grains, demand growth of dietary fibers will be hampered.
Another restrain that might hamper market growth of dietary fibers is various diseases associated with the consumption of gluten, such as infertility, celiac, and neurological disorder. With increasing prevalence of celiac disease, consumption of gluten-free food products is rising, and might hinder growth of the dietary fibers market.
