Asia-Pacific Fibers & Specialty Carbohydrates Market, by Application [Dietary Supplements, Functional Food, Functional Beverages, Animal Feed, and Personal Care) Forecasts to 2019

The Asia-pacific fibers & specialty carbohydrates (nutraceuticals) market is projected to grow at CAGR of 8.0%, from 2014 to 2019. Dietary fibers constitute a wide range of natural materials, including soluble and insoluble fibers. There are a large number of fibers with varying properties, both in terms of functions and nutrition. Specialty carbohydrates are complex substances made from simple sugars such as glucose, galactose, L-fucose, sialic acid, and glucosamine.

Fibers & specialty carbohydrates are applied in high-end products such as  pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, and plant protection products. These are used in the production of functional food, functional beverages, dietary supplements, animal feed, and personal care. The cost to manufacture these depends on the raw materials, which fluctuate seasonally as these are derivatives of cereals, which are the key source of carbohydrates.  

The Asia-Pacific fibers & specialty carbohydrates (nutraceuticals) market is dominated by Japan, followed by China. In Japan, people consume more dietary supplements and functional beverages as they are easy to consume as compared to drugs and are also beneficial for health. Additionally, emerging economies are high-potential markets for dietary fiber and specialty carbohydrates. These countries have a high population density and their per capita income is increasing with increased globalization. With changing lifestyles, consumers are becoming additionally aware of the health benefits of high fiber content in food. The ever-increasing population and per capita income level will prove to be a booster for demand for functional food & beverages, leading to an increase in demand for fiber and specialty carbohydrate ingredients.
