Shift Towards Low-Calorie Dietary Trends
Globally, consumers are becoming more concerned about the food and beverages they consume. In fact, over 50% of consumers are trying to avoid sugars and a large portion of consumers are looking to add more fiber to their diet. By adding polydextrose in their food and beverage products, food and beverage manufacturers are meeting emerging consumer demands as it provides the mouthfeel and texture of sugar, making it an ideal alternative in products that offer reduced sugar and calories. Thus, the market share for reduced sugar food and beverages is rising rapidly in developed markets, such as Italy, in turn, driving the market for ingredients, such as polydextrose that replace sugars in foods and beverages.
North America Emerged as A Leading Region
North America held the largest market share in the global polydextrose market in 2019 and is anticipated to grow at a significant rate over the forecast period due to favorable regulations implemented by the U.S. FDA. Further, the demand for polydextrose is projected to be the highest in the Asia-Pacific countries, like India and China, during the forecast period, owing to the developments in functional food products and rising health concerns in this region.
