North America Soluble Dietary Fibers Market Growth and Analysis by 2028

The soluble dietary fibers market in North America is expected to grow from US$ 662.45 million in 2021 to US$ 922.93 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% from 2021 to 2028.

Dietary fiber acts as a functional food product as it offers added benefits, along with several health benefits, apart from the normal expected function. Several associations such as Department of Nutrition, School of Health Sciences, and IGI Global identify the role of soluble dietary fiber as the key element in boosting the overall nutritional properties in functional foods. Also, a recent study published by Nutraceutical World in May 2021, describes the use of soluble dietary fiber with blueberry in supplementing diet, which have the potential to minimize the risk of gestational diabetes, along with significant reduction in gestational weight gain, enhanced glycemic control, and reduced inflammation in pregnant women with obesity. Further, an article published by National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) states that dietary fibers such as soluble dietary fibers are significantly used in preparation of functional foods such as bakery, drinks, and meat products which helps to enhance the physio-chemical properties such as such as water-binding capacity, texturizing, thickening and others along with promoting functionality. Colloides Naturels International (CNI) incorporated the use of acacia gum which offers advanced nutritional properties with documented health benefits and is ideal for several functional food formulations such as beverages, bakery products, cereal bars, and extruded products. Similarly, Sabinsa Corporation incorporates the use of wide variety of nutritional fibers obtained from plant food sources cocoa beans, coconut endosperm, fenugreek, flax seeds, and ginger rhizomes in the preparation of dietary fiber supplements. Besides the several health benefits offered by soluble dietary fibers, these fibers help impart consistency along with texture, improve cooking yields and enhances palatability, and add to rheological and sensory characteristic in food items. For instance, soluble dietary fibers are effectively used as functional ingredients in preparation of several meat products such as beef patties, ground beef and pork, and pork and chicken sausages. As per an article published by National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), the fiber incorporation in meat products has been identified attributable to several functional characteristics such as water retention, lubrication, ability to minimize cooking loss, texture modification, and neutral flavor, which improves the overall taste and flavor of the meat product. Additionally, the functional properties associated with such fibers have a profound impact on the physicochemical features. With increase in investment in research and development activities and rise in focus toward incorporation of soluble dietary fibers in functional food, newer fiber materials have been recognized, which offer health benefits beyond the traditional fiber concepts of basic digestive health.

North America is one of the worst affected economies due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The US has the highest number of confirmed cases of COVID-19, compared to Mexico and Canada. The unprecedented rise in number of COVID-19 cases across the US and Canada and the subsequent lockdown of numerous manufacturing facilities in the countries have negatively influenced the growth of the various markets. The significant disruption in manufacturing facilities, along with raw material sourcing, has had a negative impact on the demand for soluble dietary fibers in the country. In the same way, the pandemic had an intense impact on the Canadian economy, causing it into a recession. However, the market is reviving on account of significant measures taken by the government such as vaccination drives. Further, as per an article published by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) in 2020, the global public health bodies and governments have implemented several strategies as well as issued advisories to promote health and hygiene, social distancing strategies, and other such guidelines to prevent the spread of COVID-19 virus. With the state of economic recovery, several industrial sectors such as food & beverages, pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, and animal feed, are strategically focused on investing in advanced products to maximize revenue. This is expected to provide impetus for the North America Soluble Dietary Fibers market growth.

With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the North America soluble dietary fibers market. The North America soluble dietary fibers market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
