Dietary fiber is a type of carbohydrate that cannot be digested and absorbed in the small intestine of humans. Dietary fibers include cellulose and non-cellulosic polysaccharides such as pectic substances, hemi- cellulose, gums, and a non-carbohydrate component known as lignin. Increasing demand for dietary fibers in the food and beverages and pharmaceutical industries is driving the growth of the market. Intake of dietary fibers helps reduce the risk of cancers, diabetes, hypertension, strokes, and obesity. Growing health consumers among consumers have created a demand for maintaining a healthy diet rich in dietary fibers. This has resulted in a high demand for fiber-based products such as fiber cookies, crackers, spices, frozen foods, and analogous foods. Increasing demand for functional foods, which include ingredients such as dietary fibers, is creating immense opportunities for growth of the dietary fibers market. Beverages and bakery products are expected to increase the demand for dietary fibers in the near future.
