The soluble dietary fibers market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent years, the market size for soluble dietary fibers has experienced robust growth. The market is expected to expand from $3.85 billion in 2024 to $4.19 billion in 2025, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.0%. The upswing in the historic period can be credited to the increased usage in weight management products, an escalating demand for functional foods and drinks, their inclusion in gluten-free products, the creation of clean label products, and their functional attributes in food processing.
The Soluble Dietary Fibers market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Predictions show a swift expansion in the soluble dietary fibers market size over the coming years. It is anticipated to reach $6.16 billion by 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%.
This predicted increase throughout the forecast period can be associated with the growing popularity of plant-based diets, government efforts to promote healthy eating habits, its use in sports nutrition, responsible sourcing strategies, and emphasis on its mental health benefits. Further, trends like technological advancements in fiber processing, the making of low-carb products, partnerships between the food sector and research institutions, better extraction technologies, and thoughts about sustainability are expected to impact this market in the forecast period.
The soluble dietary fibers market is anticipated to surge due to the escalating occurrences of chronic illnesses. Chronic diseases, those that persist for at least a year, hinder daily life, and necessitate ongoing healthcare, can be combated by healthy soluble dietary fibers that promote wellbeing and disease prevention. For example, per the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare - a governmental institution based in Australia - in June 2024, the mortality rate due to chronic diseases heightened to 459 per 100,000 in 2021 and then escalated to 490 per 100,000 in 2022, clearly indicating a rising trend. Therefore, the prevalence of chronic diseases is fueling the advancement of the soluble dietary fibers market.
