Fructo-oligosaccharides have a low sweetness intensity, non-cariogenic and used as soluble dietary fibres. The low-calorie nature of the product drives its use as a sugar alternative for applications in various categories of food and non-food segments such as infant formulation, food & beverages, dietary supplements, animal feed and pharmaceuticals. The product is available in solid in liquid form or its convenient and effective application in required products.
Various functional benefits of the product drive the product demand for more production. The adoption of sustainable practices by manufacturers for product manufacturing is expanding the positive reach of the market at the global level. Manufacturers are investing in Green Chemistry as part of the sustainability commitment to low energy intensity and zero effluents. For instance, TATA Chemicals Limited developed a Fermentation Platform, a technology to produce fructo-oligosaccharides from sugar.
North America dominated the market growth. According to the CDC, about 37.3 million Americans are suffering from diabetes, covering about 11.3 % of the United States population. The increasing prevalence of lifestyle disorders is raising the health consciousness among consumers driving the need for sugar alternatives in North America, and positively impacting market growth.
Dynamics
Functional Benefits of Fructo-Oligosaccharides
Fructo-oligosaccharides are non-cariogenic, they are set to be used as soluble dietary fibers. They are good sources of soluble, dietary fiber and promote the reduction or elimination of constipation. They also support the growth of healthy bacteria in the digestive tract by suppressing toxic bacteria associated with food poisoning.
Fructo-oligosaccharides are non-digestible and travel intact through the small intestine to the colon, where they support the growth of healthy bacteria which help in maintaining proper digestive health. Fructo-oligosaccharides are used as an ingredient in prebiotic supplements. Fructo-oligosaccharides have beneficial physiological effects such as improved mineral absorption.
High Use of Fructo-Oligosaccharides as an Alternative Sugar
According to the World Health Organization 2022 statistics, more than 1 billion people globally are suffering from obesity, where 650 million people are adults and 340 million are adolescents. The severity of obesity is increasing in children too, accounting for up to 39 million according to 2022, WHO statistics.
According to IDF Diabetes Atlas 2021, 537 million adults are living with diabetes in the world. The organization reports that the prevalence is increasing rapidly and is estimated to reach 643 million by 2030. With the increasing prevalence of obesity and diabetes globally due to high-calorie consumption, there is a greater need for low-calorie, alternative sweeteners.
Fructo-oligosaccharides are used primarily as a low-calorie, alternative sweetener. They are delicate sweet flavor has low calories, and provide less than half the caloric value of sucrose. These fructooligosaccharides are non-digestible, so they don’t affect blood sugar levels. These are used in various food applications as an alternative sugar driving market growth.
High Cost and Potential Side Effects of the Fructo-Oligosaccharides
The high cost of fructo-oligosaccharides can be one of the major restraining factors for global market growth. The lower yield, high production costs, complex purification and quality control are some of the factors that contribute to the high cost of the fructo-oligosaccharides. The price-sensitive end-users may take up other alternative less expensive sugar alternatives, leaving the product behind.
The overuse of fructo-oligosaccharides may cause some of the potential side effects such as diarrhea, bloating and stomach cramps. The side effects can also be due to the which can be fructose intolerance. The high use can lead to gastric distress and hurt people with irritable bowel syndrome.
Segment Analysis
The global fructo-oligosaccharides market is segmented based on source, form, application and region.
High Demand for Low-Calorie Food and Beverage Products
The global fructo-oligosaccharides market is segmented based on application into infant formulation, food & and beverages, dietary supplements, animal feed, and pharmaceuticals. Food and beverage accounted for the largest share of the global market due to increased demand for low-calorie food products. With the increasing health concerns related to high-sugar products, there is a surge in demand for sugar alternatives for their use in the production of low-calorie food and beverages.
The fructo-oligosaccharides have multiple applications in the food and beverage sectors such as confectionery, bakery, beverages, desserts and others. The new product launch for their application in the food and beverages sectors drives the segment growth. For instance, in May 2023, BENEO, the company that offers naturally sourced, functional ingredients announced the launch of Beneo-scL85 ingredients for sugar reduction. These ingredients are actively used in various food applications such as bakery, dairy, and cereals.
Geographical Penetration
Increasing Demand for Low-Calorie Products In North America
North America dominated the global fructo-oligosaccharides market. With the increasing health consciousness among consumers, there is a greater need for healthy alternatives for various food products in this region. The region has an increased prevalence of obesity and diabetes driving the need for alternative sugar products for its use in multiple food product manufacturing.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 2023, obesity affects over 41.9 % of adults and 19.7 % of children in the United States. The American Heart Association recommends the strict restriction of less than 100 sugar calories per day for most adult women and less than 150 sugar calories per day for most men, motivating consumers to take low-calorie products, and increasing the demand for sugar alternatives.
Competitive Landscape
The major global players in the market include BENEO, Cargill, Incorporated, Ingredion, Tereos, Biosynth, Tate & Lyle, Galam Group, TATA Chemicals Limited, AVANSCHEM and Merck KGaA.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the global fructo-oligosaccharides market. Even though the pandemic created greater challenges for the market manufacturers in the production and distribution of the product to the end-user due to interrupted supply chain activities, the market then increased its sales through the use of e-commerce platforms and high demand from the end-use industries.
According to NIH 2020, obesity and diabetes are two major risk factors for COVID‐19 hospitalization. The organization stated that people with diabetes mellitus and severe obesity are more likely to get infected and are at a higher risk of mortality from COVID-19. Among elderly patients who are at higher risk of death from COVID-19, 26.8% have diabetes mellitus. To maintain their calorie intake, increased consumer preference towards low-calorie products.
