Report Overview

GCC Soluble Dietary Fibers Market - Industry Trends & Forecast Report, 2028

GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) soluble dietary fibers market size is expected to expand at a CAGR of 11.2% during the forecast period between 2022 and 2028. Major growth factors for GCC soluble dietary fibers market include increasing health conscious among consumers, growing awareness about the health benefits of soluble dietary fibers, the increasing prevalence of chronic disease incidences, surging demand from pharmaceutical, food, and animal nutrition industries to integrate soluble dietary fibers into their products and increasing government initiatives to promote healthy eating are widely adopted in nations throughout the GCC region. Soluble dietary fibers are added to foods and improve colonic health, as well as bifidobacterial or lactobacillus stimulation in the gut, coronary artery health, cholesterol reduction, and glucose metabolism. Soluble dietary fibers also aid in weight management and lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Water-soluble dietary fiber is one of the most effective forms of dietary fiber. It contains inulin, beta-glucan, polydextrose, pectin, fructooligosaccharides, galactooligosaccharides, and maize fiber, which contribute to the nutrient content of the food and beverage product added. Furthermore, dietary fibers are beneficial for muscle performance, endurance, and regeneration prior to, during, and after exercise. Due to dietary fiber-rich meals, dietary fiber manufacturers have a foothold in the nutraceutical and sports nutrition sectors. This contributes to the expansion of the soluble dietary fiber market.

GCC Soluble Dietary Fibers Market

Growth Drivers

Increased public knowledge about health benefits of soluble dietary fibres

Increasing number of people want to maintain good health for as long as possible, especially as average life expectancy continues to climb. Rapid industrialization, urbanization, economic growth, and globalization have resulted in altering consumer diets and lifestyles, affecting the health and nutritional status of developing-country populations. Furthermore, as the world population and standard of living increase, so does the demand for food ingredients such as soluble dietary fiber as a food-nutritional component. Moreover, people's spending on healthier foods has surged in order to improve their lifestyle and fitness. Moreover, people's spending on healthier foods has surged to improve their lifestyle and fitness. Consumers are becoming more aware of the benefits of soluble dietary fiber in maintaining an active lifestyle. A diet high in soluble dietary fiber is effective in the treatment of a variety of disorders. Therefore, all these factors contribute to the expansion of soluble dietary fibers market.

Restraints

Side-effects related to excess intake of dietary fibers

The adverse effects of soluble fiber overconsumption are a major impediment to the growth of the sector. High fiber consumption is also believed to induce an increase in the formation of carbon dioxide, methane, and hydrogen in the human body, which triggers a variety of stomach-related problems. Increased product consumption can potentially cause diarrhea and decreased mineral absorption. When the body does not receive the necessary amount of water, excessive product consumption might cause severe constipation. These problems may cause consumers to have a poor perception of the product, lowering demand and impeding the growth of the soluble fibers market during the forecast period.

Impact of COVID–19 on GCC Soluble Dietary Fibers Market

COVID-19 had a detrimental effect on GCC economies, resulting in a decrease in oil output, tourism, and remittances. The quarantine measures enforced in the region for sanitary reasons have brought multiple activity in various economic sectors to a halt. Countries in the GCC region are potential markets for soluble dietary fiber vendors. During the pandemic, the temporary shutdown of industrial units owing to indefinite lockdowns and temporary quarantines hampered the expansion of the soluble dietary fibers market. Additionally, the pandemic has had a massive impact on the food and beverage business, affecting the growth of soluble dietary fibers market. The pandemic considerably delayed the growth of the region's soluble dietary fibers market due to volatility in raw material prices such as fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and legumes. Despite the challenges, the shift in consumer dietary patterns is expected to boost the demand for soluble dietary fibers in the GCC market. The pandemic has also prompted consumers to assess their health. This escalated customers' demand for healthy products and functional foods that can assist them in improving their health.

Further escalation of Russia-Ukraine war could adversely affect GCC Soluble Dietary Fibers Market

GCC soluble dietary fibers market is affected by the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, the world’s two largest producers and suppliers of wheat grains. Moreover, further intensity of the war is feared to trigger the global food crisis. According to UN FAO reports, Russia and Ukraine together held a significant share of 34% in global exports of wheat in 2021. Especially, in the global exports of sunflower cake, both the countries had a whopping 81% share. In addition, Ukraine and Russia held a combined significant market share in the global exports in maize, barley, sunflower oil, and vegetable oils. The report also estimated that Russia and Ukraine supplied about 12% of food calories traded across the globe in 2021. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, there have been uncertainties over the supply of grains both from Ukraine and Russia to the world, and to Arab states of the Middle East and North Africa. It has resulted in a significant rise in global food prices. Apart from experiencing food shortages due to expensive import costs, fiscal deficits, conflict, Middle East and North Africa confront an additional issue. Any interruption or decrease in wheat supply from Ukraine and Russia will deny inhabitants in some of the world's most food-insecure countries the ability to produce fiber-enriched food and other daily necessities. Therefore, the continuous conflict between Ukraine and Russia is anticipated to adversely affect the growth of GCC soluble dietary fibers market.
