The global inulin market is expected to register an impressive CAGR during the forecast period. Starch inulin is found in various fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Users typically use it in their daily routine products such as leeks, wild yams, chicory root, wheat, garlic, onion, etc. It has high fiber content and very few calories. Inulin is increasingly being used to produce dairy products such as cheese, yogurt, and ice cream.
Moreover, the growing demand for low-calorie sugar, particularly in the food and beverage industry, is likely to present additional opportunities for the inulin market to expand in the years to come. The daily intake of inulin is estimated to be between 1 and 10 g in Western countries, with Europeans having the higher consumption. However, additional dietary fibers and prebiotic components may soon pose different challenges to the market's expansion.
The nutritional value of inulin, which includes abundant fibers, minerals such as calcium and potassium, vitamins, proteins, and vitamin C, is on the rise. During the forecast period, new consumers are expected to enter the inulin market owing to the growing adoption of inulin.
Shifting Consumer Preferences For Highly Nutritious Ingredients Fuels The Market Growth
A dietary fiber called inulin is present in many fruits, vegetables, and herbs, including wheat, onions, bananas, leeks, artichokes, and asparagus. Inulin is frequently found in plants and some producers add it to processed foods. Another polymer of the fructose molecule is inulin (fructan). It is prebiotic, which means it feeds the beneficial bacteria in the gut, like other fructans. Additionally, inulin and other prebiotics are converted by gut bacteria into short-chain fatty acids, which support colon cells and have several other health advantages. Together, the inulin molecules form a structure that the small intestine cannot degrade; instead, they move to the lower gut and feed the good bacteria there. Moreover, inulin, a starchy substance obtained by soaking chicory roots in hot water, is frequently used in manufacturing various medicines. Therefore, it is expected that the demand for the global inulin market will increase during the forecast period due to rising trend of ingredients made from natural products and growing demand for pharmaceuticals containing inulin.
Rising Inulin Demand In The Pharmaceutical Sector To Boost Sales
Scientists in the pharmaceutical industry have been able to innovate and search for more alternatives to create solutions for customers owing to the rising prevalence of various diseases. As inulin has health-promoting qualities, it is increasingly used in the pharmaceutical industry to treat many disorders. A polysaccharide, inulin can be used as a vehicle for the delivery of drugs, as a tool for analysis and diagnosis, or as a dietary fibre with additional health advantages. It has numerous health advantages and is primarily used in medications to support the immune system and treat various digestive issues. The rise in digestive disorders among consumers due to lifestyle and bad eating habits changes has increased demand for inulin in the pharmaceutical sector. For instance, Sensus, a brand within the Royal Cosun Group, increased the production of chicory root fiber to meet the growing demand for natural prebiotics. The main component of chicory root fiber is inulin. The brand is also planning to collaborate with the farmers to develop tools to aid in sustainable chicory cultivation.
Rising Popularity Of Inulin As A Fat Substitute Drives The Market
When used as a fat substitute, inulin offers some or all of the benefits of fat while offering fewer calories than what fat does.. From baked goods to frozen desserts, inulin is used in many products. It is ideal for low-fat products as it enhances body and mouthfeel, lowers calorie content without sacrificing flavor or texture, and increases the stability of dairy mousses and foams.
