Dietary fibers are indigestible parts or compounds of a plant that are beneficial to the human body. These are mostly found in cereals like barley, wheat, and oats, nuts such as almonds and pistachios, leguminous and non-leguminous plants, and a wide variety of fruits. These compounds pass through the digestive tract relatively unchanged. These dietary fibers help bulk up the human excreta and thus allow it a smooth passage. Although dietary fibers have been consumed for centuries, research and development on this subject started as recently as the 1950s.

Dietary fibers are majorly divided into two categories: Soluble Fibers and Insoluble Fibers. Soluble fibers soak up the water in our digestive tract like a sponge whereas insoluble fibers do not absorb water and speed up the process of digestion. Consuming dietary fibers have major health benefits such as lowering and maintaining blood cholesterol and glucose levels, decreasing the incidence of numerous types of cancers, weight control, etc.

Market Drivers:

“Increasing awareness about the health benefits of dietary fibers”

Dietary fibers have been consumed for ages. Ancient literature also promotes the consumption of dietary fibers in cases of constipation. However, proper and in-depth research on dietary fibers has commenced very recently. It is only after the publishing and spread of this latest knowledge that the consumption of dietary fibers is rising. Dietary fibers provide considerable health benefits such as relief from severe constipation, lower risk of heart attack and several types of cancer, and maintaining bodily proteins such as glucose and cholesterol. Moreover, with the latest research, dietary fibers are also being used as supplements in several foods such as cookies, chocolates, etc. These factors are bound to provide a considerable push for the dietary fibers market.

“Consciousness about nutritional intake”

People are increasingly monitoring their daily nutritional intake. As knowledge about the human body becomes widespread, people are understanding the need for each nutrient and protein in the body. Consumption of dietary fibers helps in the absorption of these nutrients and proteins and thus its intake is recommended by dieticians daily.

“Ageing population requires increased intake of dietary fibers”

The population of various countries is at a stage of aging. Countries like China and Japan are facing this issue where the average age of all citizens is increasing. With aging, the dietary track and process slows down and leads to ailments like severe constipation and irritable bowel syndrome. The elderly are also complaining about mental illnesses while facing these gut issues. Consuming dietary fibers alleviates these problems as they help in the upkeep of the digestive tract. Moreover, recent research suggests that the gut is the second brain of the body. Thus, it becomes all the more necessary to monitor and control gut health through the consumption of dietary fibers.

Market Restraints:

“Excessive consumption can lead to severe health issues”

Although the consumption of dietary fibers has been highlighted by all medical journals and blogs, excessive consumption of dietary fibers can lead to major health issues. These health issues may include becoming prone to diarrhea and loss of good cholesterol from the body. Moreover, excessive consumption of insoluble dietary fibers can also lead to speeding up the process so much that important proteins and nutrients such as iron, zinc, and calcium may not get enough time to be absorbed. This might lead to deficiencies in the body. Conditions such as these may demotivate the general public to consume dietary fiber.

Market Opportunities:

“Health benefits from monitored consumption of dietary fibers”

While it is true that excessive consumption of dietary fiber can lead to health degradation, consumption of around 30 grams of dietary fiber each day helps the benefits surpass the perils by miles. Countries with a proper medical infrastructure where dieticians are much appreciated provide a large potential market for fiber-rich foods. Markets such as these provide a great opportunity for the dietary fibers market.
