Dietary fibers are mainly derived from plants including fruits, vegetables, and legumes. Dietary fibers are present in various plant food items including nuts, oatmeal, beans, and apples.
Dietary fibers prevent heart disease, decrease blood sugar and cholesterol levels, and keep weight in control. Also, it helps the body to transport waste. Beta-glucan slows down the transition of food in the intestine. Beta-glucan is a type of soluble dietary fibers that improve digestion. Beta-glucan aids in lowering cholesterol and improves cardiovascular health. Beta-glucan passes through the entire digestive system and carries cholesterol out with it, thereby decreasing cholesterol levels.
Thus, beta-glucan reduces the risk of blood sugar spikes and supports the maintenance of blood sugar levels. Beta-glucan is a biological response modifier that is used in immunotherapy treatment. These treatments activate the immune response and strengthen the immune system. Beta-glucan has the ability to delay the development of cancer cells and stop it from spreading to other places of the body. Thus, beta-glucan is used to treat cancer.
Dietary fibers are used to prevent chronic diseases including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, colorectal cancer, diverticular disease, obesity, colorectal cancer, and inflammatory bowel syndrome. As per the world health organization (WHO), chronic disease prevalence was anticipated to rise by 57% by the year 2020. Dietary fibers absorb toxins, as insoluble fibers bind to the bloodstream and absorb carcinogens, mutagens, and other toxins. Dietary fibers help waste movement through the body, which relieved constipation. Soluble dietary fibers aid in bowel movement regularity and soften stools. Dietary fibers are important for muscle performance, muscle regeneration, and endurance during and after training.
The research report finds that the COVID-19 pandemic has moderately impacted the dietary fibers market. The COVID-19 pandemic affected public health and various stages of the supply chain of several industries. The temporary closure of the manufacturing and supply chain industry due to the lockdowns and quarantines hampered the various market growth.
Lockdowns in some regions have impacted the transportation of raw materials from suppliers. Moreover, the pandemic affected the food and beverage industry.

The rising demand for soluble dietary fibers drives the market growth, as products containing soluble dietary fibers are used to improve immunity and muscle mass.
The research report presents a complete market overview by providing a detailed analysis of the current market trends, existing drivers, growth opportunities, and emerging challenges. The dietary fibers report offers up-to-date information about factors that can shape the market outcome or overall performance during the forecast period, 2022 to 2030.
The rising demand from the pharmaceutical industry coupled with increasing healthcare spending is anticipated to propel the dietary fibers market growth. Dietary fibers reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, obesity, disorders, and hypertension. Fruits and vegetables nowadays lack nutrients and thus functional food has been introduced with dietary fibers. Moreover, the rising dietary fiber consumption for leading a healthy life is projected to propel market expansion.
The growing demand from the food & beverages industry is expected to propel the market expansion during the forecast period. FDA increased the daily reference value for dietary fiber from 25 grams per day to 28 grams per day. Dietary fibers help promote regular bowel movements and increase the bulk of stool. Dietary fibers promote healthy gut microbiota. The rise in the incidence of lifestyle diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, and increasing personal care spending further drives market growth.
The harmful effects of excessive dietary fibers intake are projected to hamper the market growth during the forecast period. Excessive dietary fibers can cause gas, bloating, and constipation. These side effects of excessive intake of dietary fibers can occur when a person eats more than 70 grams of fiber a day. These uncomfortable side effects can relieve by increasing their fluid intake, making dietary changes, and exercise.
The increasing product developments and rising demand for dietary supplements due to changing lifestyles are projected to create lucrative opportunities for market players. Moreover, the rising awareness of the health benefits of dietary fibers coupled with a rising urban population is anticipated to provide a substantial growth opportunity. The dietary fibers market is projected to grow, due to rise in number of working women and increase in purchasing ability of healthy food products.
The dietary fibers research report includes an assessment of the market trends, segments, and regional markets. Overview and dynamics have also been included in the report.
