According to Future Market Insights’ latest industry analysis, the global market size for functional food ingredients is estimated to be around USD 11.3 billion in 2024. It is projected to exhibit a CAGR growth of 6.7% over the forecast period, with an estimated market size of USD 21.7 billion in 2034.
Developed and developing countries, like the United States, China, and Japan, are facing the serious concern of an aging population. The growth of this demographic in these countries has generated a huge demand for food ingredients that not only meet basic nutritional needs but also cater to the specific health concerns associated with aging. Functional food ingredients make a perfect choice as they offer targeted health benefits, promote overall well-being, and address age-related health issues.
The demand for functional food ingredients in the general population is also rising as individuals increasingly prioritize proactive approaches to health and well-being. The rising prevalence of chronic diseases, such as hypertension, obesity, and diabetes, is further fueling this demand. Government support in the form of subsidies and policies is also one of the main drivers for the growth of this market.
To respond to this ever-increasing demand for functional food ingredients, key players in the market are constantly developing innovative formulations and expanding their product portfolios. The availability of these ingredients on e-commerce platforms and stores makes their adoption feasible. This factor also augments the market growth for functional food ingredients.
“The world is constantly pushing toward sustainability. Companies involved in the functional food ingredient market must adopt eco-friendly and ethical sourcing practices for ingredients to appeal to environmentally conscious consumers,” opines an FMI analyst.
