The global dietary fibers market is estimated to garner a revenue of around USD 15 Billion by the end of 2035 by growing at a CAGR of ~7% over the forecast period, i.e., 2023 – 2035. Further, the market generated a revenue of nearly USD 7 Billion in the year 2022. The market’s growth can be attributed to the increasing popularity of dietary supplements. Dietary fibers are highly used in dietary supplements such as fiber drinks, supplement tablets, and others. Over 63% and 67% of people in Lithuania took nutritional supplements to strengthen their bodies and immune systems, respectively. Also, during a pandemic, consumption greatly soared.
In addition to these, factors that are believed to fuel the market growth of dietary fibers include the rising use of beta-glucan owing to its rising benefits. Beta-glucans are soluble fibers found in the cell walls of various bacteria, plants, yeasts, and fungi. Taking 2.5-3.5 grams of beta-glucan daily for 3 to 8 weeks can lower fasting blood sugar levels and enhance long-term blood sugar management in persons with type 2 diabetes. On the other hand, the rising collaboration of major players is also expected to ring lucrative opportunities for the market. For instance, AGT Food and Ingredients Inc. (AGT), one of the largest suppliers of value-added plant-based food products, collaborated with Equinom, the food technology company. Both companies aim to boost the development, certification, and commercialization of co-branded functional ingredients made from Equinox ultra-high protein yellow pea varieties.

Challenges
The global dietary fibers market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by type into soluble, and insoluble. Out of the two types of dietary fibers, the insoluble segment is estimated to gain the largest market share in the year 2035. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the increasing problems of constipation and hemorrhoids. Insoluble fibers are beneficial in preventing constipation by speeding up waste processing and reducing blockage. Moreover, it prevents the development of small folds and hemorrhoids in the colon. Approximately 16 out of 100 people in the US experience constipation problems. Moreover, around 33 out of 100 persons 60 and older have constipation-related symptoms. Furthermore, roughly three out of every four adults can get hemorrhoids occasionally.
The global dietary fibers market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by raw material into fruits & vegetables, nuts & seeds, and cereals & grains. Amongst these three segments, the cereals & grains segment is expected to garner a significant share in the year 2035. The growth of the segment is expected on the account of higher consumption of fiber from cereals and grains, followed by rising production of cereals. Intake of fiber from cereal foods is the highest in the globe, supplying around 32 to 49% of the total in the United States and Europe, respectively. Moreover, around 89% of all cereal production globally is made up of wheat, rice, and maize.

The North American dietary fibers market, amongst the market in all the other regions, is projected to hold the largest market share of about ~35% by the end of 2035. The growth of the market can be attributed majorly to the increasing awareness about health and rising cases of chronic diseases which in turn is expected to boost the demand for dietary fibers. Dietary fibers are beneficial in chronic disease management. Every sixth adult in America, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, has a chronic illness. In addition, 4 out of 10 adults have two or more chronic conditions. Furthermore, since the pandemic started, about 7 in 10 people are more conscious of how they treat their bodies.
