The global functional carbohydrate market size is set to witness growth at a CAGR of 7.4% and top a valuation of USD 15,984.8 million by 2034. The functional carbohydrate market has seen significant growth in recent years, driven by increasing consumer awareness of health and wellness. Functional carbohydrates refer to a range of ingredients that offer specific health benefits beyond basic nutrition. These carbohydrates are often used in various end-use applications across several industries.
In the food and beverage sector, functional carbohydrates are incorporated into products to enhance nutritional profiles while providing functional benefits such as improved digestion, weight management, and sustained energy release. They are utilized in products like energy bars, sports drinks, and functional foods aimed at promoting gut health or supporting metabolic functions.
Moreover, the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries utilize functional carbohydrates in dietary supplements and medicinal formulations designed to address specific health concerns such as blood sugar management, cholesterol reduction, and immune system support.
In the cosmetic industry, functional carbohydrates find applications in skincare products for their moisturizing and anti-aging properties. They contribute to formulations that improve skin hydration, texture, and overall appearance.
Overall, the functional carbohydrate market continues to expand as consumers seek healthier alternatives and products that offer additional health benefits beyond traditional nutrition. This growth is driven by ongoing research and development efforts to discover new functionalities and applications for these versatile ingredients.
Major Research on Applications of Functional Carbohydrates Influencing Market Growth
Key manufacturers, with the help of different research centers, public research universities, and crop institutes across the U.S., are actively researching the potential applications of functional carbohydrates. Constant research for increased application in the food & beverage, personal care, sports nutrition, and feed industries is being carried out.
The growing health concerns among people and advancements in R&D activities have led to the growth of the fibers and specialty carbohydrates market. Factors such as multifunctional benefits across various applications and their use as alternatives to sugar are contributing to the growth of the market.
Increasing Consumption of Nutrient-Enriched Food to Enhance Overall Health
The market is primarily driven by population growth and changes in consumer dietary preferences. Consumers are more likely to choose meals with functional ingredients if they want to lower their risk of obesity, weight management, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
Stressful lives and rising stress levels have contributed to the rise in the occurrence of such health problems. Furthermore, people have a habit of eating large meals three to four times every day. People’s health has suffered as a result of this. A trend of eating numerous smaller meals throughout the day has emerged as a result of increased awareness and a shift in eating habits.
These considerations have boosted the popularity of nutritious foods and the use of nutritional biscuits, snacks, and energy or protein bars to replace meals. Also, due to their need for regular meals, on-the-go snacking is becoming increasingly popular among children, while adults like it due to their active and hectic lifestyles. Other variables that are boosting market expansion include rising disposable incomes, convenience of transporting, and rising health concerns.
