Dietary Fibers Market size was over USD 8.1 billion in 2024 and is projected to cross USD 20.41 billion by the end of 2037, growing at more than 7.3% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of dietary fibers is estimated at USD 8.58 billion.The market’s growth can be attributed to the increasing popularity of dietary supplements. Dietary fibers are highly used in dietary supplements such as fiber drinks, supplement tablets, and others. Over 63% and 67% of people in Lithuania took nutritional supplements to strengthen their bodies and immune systems, respectively. Also, during a pandemic, consumption greatly soared.
In addition to these, factors that are believed to fuel the market growth of dietary fibers include the rising use of beta-glucan owing to its rising benefits. Beta-glucans are soluble fibers found in the cell walls of various bacteria, plants, yeasts, and fungi. Taking 2.5-3.5 grams of beta-glucan daily for 3 to 8 weeks can lower fasting blood sugar levels and enhance long-term blood sugar management in persons with type 2 diabetes. On the other hand, the rising collaboration of major players is also expected to ring lucrative opportunities for the market. For instance, AGT Food and Ingredients Inc. (AGT), one of the largest suppliers of value-added plant-based food products, collaborated with Equinom, the food technology company. Both companies aim to boost the development, certification, and commercialization of co-branded functional ingredients made from Equinox ultra-high protein yellow pea varieties.
