According to the latest market study on “Soluble Dietary Fibers Market Forecast to 2028 – COVID-19 Impact and Global Analysis – by Type (Inulin, Pectin, Polydextrose, Beta-glucan, and Others), Source (Cereals and Grains, Fruits and Vegetables, and Others), and Application (Food and Beverages, Animal Nutrition, Pharmaceuticals and Nutraceuticals, and Others),” the market was valued at US$ 3,301.31 million in 2021 and is projected to reach US$ 4,546.47 million by 2028; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.7% from 2021 to 2028. The report highlights key driving factors and prominent market players along with their developments in the market.
Soluble dietary fibers are defined as the fibers that display dispersibility in water to create a gel-like material. Such type of fibers is significantly sourced out from fruits and vegetables, legumes, and oats.

Dietary fiber acts as a functional food product as it offers added benefits, along with several health benefits, apart from the normal expected function. Several associations such as Department of Nutrition, School of Health Sciences, and IGI Global identify the role of soluble dietary fiber as the key element in boosting the overall nutritional properties in functional foods. Also, a recent study published by Nutraceutical World in May 2021, describes the use of soluble dietary fiber with blueberry in supplementing diet, which have the potential to minimize the risk of gestational diabetes, along with significant reduction in gestational weight gain, enhanced glycemic control, and reduced inflammation in pregnant women with obesity. Further, an article published by National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) states that dietary fibers such as soluble dietary fibers are significantly used in preparation of functional foods such as bakery, drinks, and meat products, which helps enhance the physio-chemical properties such as such as water-binding capacity, texturizing, thickening and others along with promoting functionality. Colloides Naturels International (CNI) incorporated the use of acacia gum, which offers advanced nutritional properties with documented health benefits and is ideal for several functional food formulations such as beverages, bakery products, cereal bars, and extruded products. Similarly, Sabinsa Corporation incorporates the use of wide variety of nutritional fibers obtained from plant food sources, Indian gooseberry, cocoa beans, coconut endosperm, fenugreek, flax seeds, and ginger rhizomes in the preparation of dietary fiber supplements. Besides the several health benefits offered by soluble dietary fibers, these fibers help impart consistency along with texture, improve cooking yields and enhances palatability, and add to rheological and sensory characteristic in food items. For instance, soluble dietary fibers are effectively used as functional ingredients in preparation of several meat products such as beef patties, ground beef and pork, and pork and chicken sausages. As per an article published by National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), the fiber incorporation in meat products has been identified attributable to several functional characteristics such as water retention, lubrication, ability to minimize cooking loss, texture modification, and neutral flavor, which improves the overall taste and flavor of the meat product. Additionally, the functional properties associated with such fibers have a profound impact on the physicochemical features. With increase in investment in research and development activities and rise in focus toward incorporation of soluble dietary fibers in functional food, newer fiber materials have been recognized, which offer health benefits beyond the traditional fiber concepts of basic digestive health.
