A new market research report by Transparency Market Research, titled “Dietary Fiber Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2012 – 2018,” provides an in-depth understanding of the global dietary fiber market. The report provides the current size of the market and the predicted growth trends in the market in the forecast horizon from 2012 to 2018. The size of the market is predicted in terms of both region and type. The prime factors fuelling the growth of the market and the key challenges faced by the market have also been elaborated upon in this study. The top performing segments have also been highlighted in this study. The report defines the market for dietary fibers and provides projections and evaluation on the market size on the basis of both value and volume.

According to the report, the prime factors fuelling the growth of the market are the increasing health concerns and resultant shift in the food habits of consumers. In addition, a number of benefits associated with the intake of dietary fibers, such as control over blood sugar levels, decreased chances of colorectal cancer, and removal of irregularities of defecation, are amongst the key factors augmenting the growth of the market. In addition, the rising count of patients having fluctuations in blood pressure and blood sugar levels will result in new opportunities, thus stimulating the growth of the market for dietary fiber. On the other hand, the strict regulations posed by regulatory bodies such as the FDA are amongst the chief factors restraining the growth of the market.
