Asia Pacific held the largest dietary fibers market share and accounted for over 43% share of the global dietary fibers market in 2025. Countries such as China, Indonesia, and Japan are expected to be the leading producers of foods and beverages during the next few years. Promising trends in the food & beverage industry in the Asia Pacific region are estimated to spur the demand for dietary fibers during the forecast years.
For instance, in July 2023, CP Kelco unveiled NUTRAVA® Citrus Fiber to the Australian market at the FoodPro 2023 event held in Melbourne.
North America accounted for 24% of the market share in 2025. North America was the largest market for immunity-boosting and health-enhancing products in 2025. Nutritional care has witnessed a major evolution in the region, with consumers becoming highly aware of packaged food products' ingredients. The new trending diets and lifestyles adopted by the people in the North America region have rendered the consumption of dietary fibers highly significant.
For instance, Ingredion introduced Novelose 3490 was a low FODMAP dietary fiber that gave bakers and snack makers the ability to develop high-fiber products supporting digestive wellness, according to Ingredion, Inc., which launched the fibers in the U.S.
Europe accounted for 18% of the dietary fibers market demand in 2025. Increased online product delivery services across developed countries in Western Europe including Italy, the U.K., Germany, France, and Spain will positively influence the market growth in the region.
For instance, American agribusiness Cargill dedicated $35 million to launch a new line of soluble fibers in Europe, which were used to reduce sugar by 30% and lower calories in confectionery, bakery goods, fillings, cereals, ice cream, and dairy products, as well as to fortify foods with additional fiber.
The U.S. is projected to dominate the global dietary fiber market demand during the forecast period, owing to increasing consumer demand for health and wellness products, growing awareness of dietary fiber benefits, and the presence of major food and beverage companies investing in innovative fiber-enriched products.
For instance, Roquette launched NUTRIOSE® soluble fiber obtained from yellow peas in the USA. Plant-based foods had become more mainstream, and the desire to eat more of them was a driving factor in consumer behavior.
China is projected to dominate the global dietary fiber market during the forecast period, due to its large population, increasing health awareness, growing demand for functional foods, and strong government support for the food and nutrition sectors.
For instance, Tate & Lyle PLC, a leading global provider of food and beverage ingredients and solutions, announced that it had signed an agreement to acquire Quantum Hi-Tech (Guangdong) Biological Co., Ltd (Quantum), a leading prebiotic dietary fibre business in China, from ChemPartner Pharmatech Co., Ltd (ChemPartner) for a total consideration of USD 237 Mn.
Global dietary fibers market is expected to have tremendous growth potential over the next decade driven by increasing health consciousness among consumers globally. As people become more aware about the various health benefits of a fiber-rich diet such as maintaining digestive health, managing weight, and reducing cholesterol levels, the demand for dietary fiber ingredients from food and beverage manufacturers is expected to surge. Functional foods with added dietary fibers will be in high demand. The market will further get support from rising incidences of lifestyle diseases forcing people to make dietary changes.
However, the lack of consumer education about suitable dosage and different types of fibers can restrain the market to an extent. Finding innovative ways to mask the strong flavors that are associated with some fiber types will also be a challenge for companies. The Asia Pacific region will dominate the market and remain the fastest growing as developing countries like India and China continue to emerge as major consumer markets boosted by changing dietary habits and rising affluence.

*Definition: Dietary fibers are a type of carbohydrate found in plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds. They are defined as the edible parts of plants or analogous carbohydrates that are resistant to digestion and absorption in the human small intestine, usually with complete or partial fermentation in the large intestine. The term includes polysaccharides, oligosaccharides, and lignins. There are two main types of dietary fibers: soluble and insoluble. Soluble fibers dissolve in water and form a gel-like substance, while insoluble fibers do not dissolve in water and pass through the digestive system largely intact. Dietary fibers have been associated with numerous health benefits, including improved digestive health, lower cholesterol levels, and reduced risk of heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer.
