Global Functional Food Ingredients Market: Snapshot

The increasing demand for health benefitting foods that is needed beyond basic nutrition to promote optimal health is currently the cornerstone of the development of functional food ingredients market. The growing awareness among a large population demographic regarding the consumption of nutritive food rather than only satisfying taste and appeal considerations is providing a strong basis for the growth of players in the market. As a result, consumers are opting for nutritive convenience foods and nutritionally fortified foods in place of traditional convenience and junk foods. In particular, in developed economies, the changing perception of food cabinet as a medical cabinet is leading to an increasing number of consumers stocking up on wholesome foods. Hence, functional foods are increasingly becoming a commonality in the kitchens of health-savvy consumers.

Increasing product innovations complemented with the development of novel chemicals to enhance the taste and appeal of functional food is further giving an impetus to the functional food ingredients market. Furthermore, the easy availability of a large variety of functional foods is favoring the growth of this market.

However, the market is challenged by stringent regulatory agencies that have a lengthy approval process before food is available for commercial sales. These mandates are based on the safety norms in place for foods to be suitable for consumption for varied social demographics and varied age groups. Accredited agencies such as the UN’s FAO and FDA are constantly monitoring the use of colors and chemicals in foods, especially for new markets such as the global functional food ingredients market. As such, product manufacturers are under pressure to obtain approvals prior to manufacture and distribution, which adds up to the time taken for the final product to be available for commercial sales.

In terms of revenue, the global market for functional food ingredients is projected to be worth US$32.4 bn by 2024 increasing from US$19.38 bn in 2015 at a CAGR of 6.0% between 2016 and 2024.

High Nutritional Value of Functional Foods Attracts Large Volume of Consumers Globally

“The leading factor contributing to the growth of the global functional food ingredients market is the advantages that it holds over conventional foods and diets. Studies conducted in the recent past had already shown the effectiveness of functional foods in the intake of nutritive supplements. This was followed by a quickly-growing demographic of consumers from each economic class favoring functional foods amid a growing concern for personal health. Consumers are showing signs of slowly progressing towards healthier foods over convenience and junk foods. One change in perspective especially visible in developed economies is the perception of a food cabinet as a medicine cabinet, as more and more consumers are stocking up their food supplies at home on the basis of completing a wholesome diet. This is instrumental in bringing the growing variety of functional foods into the kitchens of common consumers,” states a TMR analyst.

An interesting factor augmenting the global functional food ingredients market is the incorporation of elements of functional nutrition into convenience foods. There is a growing number of convenience foods available in the market today that can help consumer save time taken to eat while adding a heavily marketed nutritive aspect rather than the conventional path of taste and appeal. Players from the food and beverages industry are also progressing fast into research and development efforts to improve the taste of functional foods and to incorporate them in a wider array of food and beverage types.

Regulations Continue to Hinder Functional Foods Production

Foods especially are heavily controlled in terms of approval and regional distribution by several regulatory bodies. These regulations are based on the safety of consumption of foods by several social demographics and age groups, along with the use of permissible flavorings and food colors. Organizations such as the FDA and the UN’s FAO are constantly monitoring the usage of chemicals in foods and being a new market, the global functional food ingredients market is under strict scrutiny. This will increase the pressure on manufacturers to obtain approvals before manufacture and distribution and adds to the time taken for a food product to reach shelves.

“The emerging economies are currently of very high value to players from the global functional food ingredients market. China, Brazil, India, and other nations in the similar economic state of intense growth are revealing the perfect audience for healthy foods and nutritional supplements, within a growing working class that holds a growing amount of disposable income. This will continue to be a field of great opportunities for functional food ingredients manufacturers, also due to the relatively relaxed regulations in the Asia Pacific and Latin America,” adds the analyst.
