Diabetic Food Market Driven by Growing Awareness about a Healthy Lifestyle & Rising Instances of Obesity Worldwide

The global market for diabetic food features a largely fragmented and an intensely competitive vendor landscape, booming with a large number of regional and international players, says Transparency Market Research (TMR) in a recent report. The massively rising target consumer of diabetic food across the globe has added fuel to research and development activities in the market, led to the entry of a number of new players with niche operations, and has compelled a large number of renowned F&B companies to enter this sector.

Some of the leading companies operating in the global diabetic food market are The Coca-Cola Company, David Chapman’s Ice Cream Limited, Cadbury plc, Nestle S.A., Unilever Plc, PepsiCo Inc., Mars Inc., Fifty 50 Foods Inc., and Kellogg Company.

Transparency Market Research projects that the global diabetic food market will expand at a promising CAGR of 5.90% over the period between 2014 and 2020, rising from a valuation of US$7.4 bn in 2013 to an opportunity of US$11.1 bn by 2020.

Dairy Products to Witness Promising Rise in Demand in Diabetic Food Market

Of the key areas of applications of diabetic food, the segment of dietary beverages is presently the most lucrative owing to the vast variety of diabetic beverages, in terms of flavors and compositions, available in the market and the high consumption of beverages across the globe. Over the report’s forecast period, the segment of dairy products is expected to witness growth at a promising pace owing to the probiotic benefits of dairy products.


In terms of geography, North America and Europe are the leading consumers of diabetic food products owing chiefly to the rising population of diabetics, high disposable incomes of the population, and the presence of a large variety of diabetic food products in these regions. While Asia Pacific is a lucrative market for diabetic food looking at the massive and rapidly rising population of diabetics, issues such as the high cost of these products, availability of fewer product options compared to developed regions, and lack of awareness among the population continue to dampen the growth prospects of the regional market to an extent.

Rising Awareness among the Massive Patient Pool to Drive Demand

The alarming rise in the prevalence of diabetes across the globe has emerged as one of the key factors driving the global market for diabetic food. According to the World Health Organization, the prevalence of diabetes has witnessed a worrying rise from 4.7% in 1980 to 8.5% in 2014 among adults over the age of 18 years. The total number of people suffering from the condition has jumped from 108 mn to 422 mn over the same period globally. The rate at which diabetes is spreading has outlined the pressing need for taking active measures aimed at preventing or delaying the onset of type 2 diabetes and avoiding the consequences of other types.


Attempts are being made by government and private healthcare bodies to raise awareness about the prevention and proper management of the disease. The resultant rise in consumer awareness about proper management of diabetes has led to a substantial rise in the consumption of functional foods such as diabetes foods and nutraceuticals worldwide. To cater to the rising diabetic population, the healthcare industry is also ramping up with its collection of food products especially made for diabetics, which are low in calories and use sugar substitutes. These factors, in combination with the rising consumer base, are collectively boosting the overall diabetic food market.

Demand for Diabetic Food to be fueled by Growing Concerns over Alarming Increase in Prevalence of Diabetes

In recent times, diabetes has emerged as one of the most challenging health conditions across the world. According to the WHO, a total of 415 million cases of diabetes were reported globally in 2015. The count is rising at an alarming rate and is expected to reach 642 million in the next 25 years. Till now no medication has been found that can completely cure diabetes. It can only be controlled to an extent with specified diet, which includes sugar-free and low-calorie food.


The high prevalence of diabetes has increased concerns among people across the world, leading to a massive shift in consumer preference towards diabetic food. According to a study by Transparency Market Research (TMR), the global market for diabetic food, which stood at US$7.4 bn in 2013, is likely to witness a robust rise at a CAGR of 5.90% from 2014 to 2020 and reach US$11.1 bn by the end of 2020.

In this blog post, analysts at TMR answer important questions about the worldwide market for diabetic food:

What are the defining trends in the global market for diabetic food?

There are quite a few trends that have been instrumental in shaping the global market for diabetic food. Primary among them is the change in food preferences, owing to the increased awareness regarding health and fitness. As a precautionary measure, consumers are increasingly replacing their regular diet with low-sugar and low-calorie diabetic food, significantly driving the market. The enhancement in the living standards of consumers, thanks to their rising disposable income, is also fueling the demand for low-calorie diabetic food across the world.

On the flip side, the market is likely to be flustered with a strong hike in prices of diabetic food products in the coming years. The lack of well-developed distribution channels is anticipated to hamper the availability of diabetic food products, resulting in increased product prices.

What are the key trends seen in the competitive landscape of the global diabetic food market?

The global market for diabetic food demonstrates a fragmented landscape due to the presence of a large pool of participants, which also signifies the intense competition within the market. Producers are aggressively focusing on building distribution networks with food product vendors in a bid to expand their reach.

Looking forward, partnerships with leading pharmaceutical companies is likely to emerge as a key trend among diabetic food producers in order to enhance their brand value.

How are the regional markets for diabetic food performing?

North America has emerged as the leading market for diabetic food across the world and is expected to remain dominant in the near future. The rising prevalence of diabetes, propelled by the increasing base of the geriatric and obese population, especially in the U.S., is the key driving force behind the swelling demand for diabetic food in this region.

Led by the strong demand in the U.K. and Germany, Europe has acquired the second position in the worldwide market for diabetic food. The growing consumer awareness about diabetes and related precautionary measures are expected to support the region to retain its position in the forthcoming years.

China, India, and Japan are driving the market for diabetic food in Asia Pacific. The unmet medical needs of consumers in these countries are providing untapped opportunities for key vendors of diabetic food. The increasing western influence thanks to globalization and the escalating disposable income of consumers is likely to keep the demand for diabetic food high in Asia Pacific over the next few years.
