Inulin & Fructooligosaccharide Market Anticipated for Progressive CAGR Growth During 2018-2026

Inulin and fructooligosaccharide are prebiotic food ingredients that stimulate the metabolism and growth of health-stimulating bacteria in the human gut, thus improving an organism’s intestinal balance. Prebiotic fibers can be derived from garlic, chicory, Jerusalem artichokes, and onions, amongst other things. Medically, inulin helps in testing kidney function, and it also acts as a dietary fiber. Inulin has various health benefits, and it is used by food manufacturers to enhance the nutritional value of manufactured food products. On the other hand, fructooligosaccharide helps in reducing blood sugar in the body, as it seems to stimulate insulin secretion in the pancreas. Moreover, fructooligosaccharide also helps reduce digestive issues such as diarrhea or constipation. 
The food and beverage sector is anticipated to play a crucial role in the growth of the inulin and fructooligosaccharide market in the coming decade, as manufacturers are focusing on producing low-calorie sweeteners with the help of inulin and fructooligosaccharide, while ensuring taste, texture, and shelf-life stability of the final products. On a regional level, companies are focusing on enhancing technology for product life enhancement for inulin and fructooligosaccharide in applications such as animal nutrition, beverages, and dairy products. Moreover, in order to offer price benefits to companies, a few regional and local players have started offering inulin and fructooligosaccharide at comparatively lower prices, primarily in countries such as China and India. In addition, the growing demand for functional beverage and food products in these countries is expected to increase the options for various new entrants in the inulin and fructooligosaccharide market in the near future. 
Diabetes is one of the major issues being addressed, globally. The disadvantages of consuming artificial sweeteners are that, they have high fructose content, which leads to obesity. The demand for sugar substitutes is significantly high, considering the after-effects of artificial sweeteners and conventional sugar. Inulin and fructooligosaccharide are one such alternative to traditional sweeteners. Inulin and fructooligosaccharide are organic sweeteners that are foreseen as the best sugar substitutes. Inulin and fructooligosaccharide are usually mixed with other sweeteners, and reduce the calories present in sweeteners. Due to various health benefits, inulin and fructooligosaccharide are being widely used as sugar substitutes by diabetic people.
For instance, in August 2014, in a study done by Chemical and Engineering News in New York, U.S., inulin showed results by increasing the insulin secretion in diabetic people. Therefore, it can be used by diabetics as a sugar substitute. Inulin can be consumed along with other natural sweeteners for sweetness purposes. 
The major cause for heart diseases and diabetes is the high-glycemic index in food products. High-glycemic index content foods are white bread, rice, potatoes, pumpkins, rice cakes, popcorn rice pasta, rice macaroni, and cheese. The consumption of these high-glycemic index foods increase the chances of heart diseases and diabetes. 
In 2014, a study done by Medical News Today suggested that, agave inulin is a healthful alternative for table sugar, as it has a low-glycemic index that can lower blood glucose levels, and eventually make the body less prone to diabetes.
Incorporation of Inulin and Fructooligosaccharide in the Food and Beverages Industry 
Inulin and fructooligosaccharide are prebiotic ingredients that act as a food source for bacteria living in the human gut. These bacteria maintain the overall health of human beings by acting as a catalyst in the digestion of food. Prebiotic ingredients occur in various forms such as fructooligosaccharide (FOS), mannan-oligosaccharides (MOSs), xylooligosaccharides (XOSs), human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), galactooligosaccharides (GOSs), and others. These ingredients are now being highly incorporated by manufacturers into food and beverage products that are consumed by humans on a daily basis. Probiotics, on the other hand, are the good bacteria that are directly introduced into the lower digestive tract for the stimulation of digestion. But the incorporation of probiotics is a complicated process, as these bacteria are supposed to be kept alive until they reach the human gut. Whereas, prebiotics do not have any live bacteria and are based on food ingredients, which can be easily introduced into various food and beverage products for consumption without any special storage requirements, due to which, the demand for inulin and fructooligosaccharide is increasing significantly, and is expected to bolster market growth over the forecast period.

Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar Continues High Traction Globally, Nearly 6% CAGR Poised for Market over 2019-2027

A recent study by Transparency Market Research (TMR) found that the apple cider vinegar market recorded positive growth, reaching US$ 836 million by 2018. The study estimates that the market will witness approximately 5% y-o-y in 2019, and attributes the potential rise in demand to the inextricable relationship between apple cider vinegar and the health & wellness trend. 
Consumers, with a critical approach towards their dietary intake, are preferring to purchase food products with health-benefiting properties and natural ingredients irrespective of their cost. TMR opines that natural health proponents will continue to remain the target consumer for stakeholders in the apple cider vinegar market. In addition, naturally occurring food products, such as apple cider vinegar, are not regulated by governing bodies, such as the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which is likely to augur well for growth of the apple cider vinegar market in the coming years. 
Consumer preference for clean label and organic ingredients has had a remarkable influence on the emerging trends in apple cider vinegar landscape. The TMR study opines that, though the demand for conventional apple cider vinegar is currently high, its organic variant will increase in popularity in the coming years, especially in developed regions, such as North America and Europe.
The study finds that the demand for organic apple cider vinegar is taking off in North America with its health halo drawing in health-conscious consumers.

The study also finds that European Union (EU), at present, tends to follow health trends with a slight lag as compared to that in North America. Nevertheless, organic apple cider vinegar accounts for around one-third revenue share in Europe, finds TMR. However, the growth of cross-border business activities in the EU is underpinning the rising tide of protectionist movement, and it is likely to stymie investor confidence in Europe’s apple cider vinegar market. TMR opines that apple cider vinegar markets will make a move towards the fledging market for apple cider vinegar in Oceania, Asia Pacific (excluding Japan), and Latin America to capitalize on untapped potential in emerging economies in the upcoming years.

Inulin and Fructooligosaccharide Market To Make Great Impact In Near Future by 2026

With reference to the latest market forecast report published by Transparency Market Research, titled ‘Inulin and Fructooligosaccharide Market: Global Industry Analysis and Opportunity Assessment 2018-2026', revenue generated from the global inulin and fructooligosaccharide market is estimated to be valued at around US$ 1,634.5 Mn in 2018, which is expected to increase at a CAGR of 6.2% during the period of forecast - 2018 to 2026. 
Over the years, there had been a lengthy argument among health professionals regarding the health benefits of probiotic and prebiotic ingredients such as inulin and fructooligosaccharide - and which of them was the more efficient product for enhancing human health. Weighing each product on their pros and cons, manufacturers as well as researchers have leaned towards probiotics in the beginning, while inulin and fructooligosaccharide ingredients were neglected in a way. This reflected in the marketing styles of each product, and probiotics took a giant leap forward in terms of sales. In the recent years however, market players are turning towards inulin and fructooligosaccharide, as they feel that probiotics alone are not enough for a healthy gut. The best method is to use both, probiotics and prebiotics (inulin and fructooligosaccharide) in small quantities, and enable the multiplication of good bacteria by providing them feed in the form of prebiotics, and replenishing bacteria quantities over a period of time with probiotics.
Affordable Pricing in Order to Exploit the Emerging Markets in Asia Pacific 
The global functional food market, with improved digestive health claims, is slowly spreading outward from its traditional geographical markets of Europe and North America, and entering the developing markets of Asia Pacific and the rest of the world. These emerging markets have already been penetrated by probiotics that have found popularity among a majority of consumers. For inulin and fructooligosaccharide fortified products to make an impact in this potentially lucrative market, it is necessary for inulin and fructooligosaccharide manufacturers to undercut the competition using various marketing strategies. From a business perspective, the best strategy for entering this market would be to offer products enriched with inulin and fructooligosaccharide at affordable prices, and thereby look to pull existing probiotic consumers into the inulin and fructooligosaccharide market. Although marketing standardization and imparting awareness are very important strategies, creating competition with affordable pricing could work as the tipping point for consumers to switch from probiotics to inulin and fructooligosaccharide functional food, thus increasing product sales and having a greater overall impact on the present market scenario.
