One of the prime drivers for the global d-mannose market is the growing awareness of the utility of d-mannose, which is a form of glucose but with several differing chemical characteristics, in preventing urinary tract infections (UTIs). Unlike glucose, mannose has the property of clinging to the walls of the urinary tract, making it harder for pathogens to attach themselves to the surface. This makes it the perfect preventive tool for UTIs, as UTIs are usually treated with antibiotics, several of which are facing consistent resistance.

The global d-mannose market has also gained a significant part of its demand from products designed for diabetic or other calorie-conscious demographics, as mannose is not metabolized like glucose in the body and thus doesn’t contribute to the blood sugar levels. Most of d-mannose is absorbed in the preliminary parts of the digestive tract, making it safe for diabetic individuals. The growing scope of specialist diets due to the rapid development of long-distance shipping facilities is thus likely to help the global d-mannose market.


North America has emerged as the leading contributor to the global d-mannose market. The growing prevalence of urinary tract infections in North America has fueled the development of alternative treatments such as d-mannose. The growing availability of healthcare information to the masses has also helped the growth of the d-mannose market as an alternative or supplementary to conventional UTI treatments. The high prevalence of diabetes in regions such as the U.S. is also likely to remain a key driver for the d-mannose market in North America in the coming years. The growing prevalence of diabetes in Southeast Asia is also likely to be vital for the global d-mannose market.

The report states that the ever-increasing demand for livestock products such as meat, milk, and other animal products is fuelling demand from the global forage feed market. However, the high cost of forage feed is influencing consumers to look for cheaper substitutes.

During the period between 2013 and 2019, the cattle market is anticipated to register robust growth due to the growing awareness about the utility of numerous cattle products.

The report studies the global forage feed market across four key regions: Asia Pacific, Europe, North America, and Rest of the World.
