Functional carbohydrates are those carbohydrates that help to strengthen immunity and decrease blood-lipid levels, rather than just supplying energy to the body.  Inkwood Research estimates that the market for the global functional carbohydrates market was valued at $XX million in 2018, and is expected to reach $5679.77 million by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 5.80% during the forecast period. The increasing health issues, such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and obesity, have led the consumers to switch to the products that contain good carbohydrates like isomalt and palatinose that support their general fitness. These are low glycemic carbohydrates that slowly break down, providing prolonged energy supply in the body. They help in reducing weight, stabilize blood sugar level, and various other health benefits. Thus, it reduces the risk of diabetes or other cardiovascular diseases.

Functional Carbohydrates Market

The increasing health issues, such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and obesity, have led the consumers to switch to the products that contain good carbohydrates like isomalt and palatinose that support their general fitness. These are low glycemic carbohydrates that slowly break down, providing prolonged energy supply in the body. They help in reducing weight, stabilize blood sugar level, and various other health benefits. Thus, it reduces the risk of diabetes or other cardiovascular diseases. The growing awareness about the functionalities of carbohydrates among consumers has persuaded the manufacturers to develop new products that contain functional carbohydrates.

Food and Beverage is the leading segment in terms of revenue in the global functional carbohydrates market, with around 45.44% market share in 2018.  Isomalt, palatinose & others, are widely used in food and beverages, since they offer stabilization, gel formation, and act as a sweetener. The consumers are looking for products containing low sugar and other healthy ingredients. The products like energy drinks and nutrition bars show a great opportunity for companies to use these carbohydrates. Moreover, the cosmetic segment is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR of around 6.15% during the forecast period. The rising trend of natural cosmetic products and increasing concern regarding appearance among consumers has fuelled the use of anti-aging products in the markets. Several companies are investing in research and development to innovate more effective anti-aging products. Cyclodextrin is used to stabilize the fragrance in perfumes, reduce foaming in solutions, etc. Thus, these factors fuel the growing market during the forecasted period.

The global functional carbohydrates growth is curtailed by the rising cost of functional products, availability of substitutes for functional carbohydrates, allergies, and yeast infection. Sugar alcohols have a low GI, and they offer sweet taste, and often used as a substitute for sugar. However, the use of sugar alcohols increases the cost of production of food & beverages as compared to other sugar substitutes like HFCS 42, HFCS 55, and stevia. For instance, isomalt, a type of functional carbohydrate, is costly, which leads to an increase in the cost of production of food & beverages as compared to other sugars, which is expected to restrain the market for the functional carbohydrates like Isomalt in the future.

The report scope of the global functional carbohydrates market covers segmentation analysis of type, application.

Market by Type:

  • Isomalt
  • Palatinose
  • Cyclodextrin
  • Curdlan
  • Others

Market by Application:

  • Food & Beverage
  • Pharmaceutical/Nutra
  • Cosmetics &Personal Care
  • Other Application

On the basis of geography, the global functional carbohydrates market has been segmented into four major regions:

  • North America: the United States & Canada
  • Europe: the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Russia, and the Rest of Europe
  • Asia Pacific: China, Japan, India, South Korea, Australia, and the Rest of Asia Pacific
  • Rest of World: Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa

Geographically, Europe is the largest market with a market share of 36.84% in terms of revenue in 2018. Europe’s dominance is attributed to the presence of key players that are offering their solutions in the region. These include Beneo GmbH, Wacker Chemie AG, Evonik, and others. The European region has one of the top animals feeds industry in the world. This shows steady growth for functional carbohydrates like galactooligosaccharides, which helps enhance feed efficiency and provide nutrition to animals. The other factor helping the growth of the market is the increasing number of health issues like obesity and diabetes, due to which consumers are changing their lifestyle by consuming healthier food. Thus, such factors contribute to the growth of the functional carbohydrates in this region. The Asia Pacific, on the other hand, is anticipated to be the fastest-growing region with a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period. The rising geriatric population in the countries has increased the demand for anti-aging products. This is due to rising concerns, regarding appearance among the consumers. This factor has driven the market for functional carbohydrates like Curdlan, which are used in producing anti-aging products. The rise in several health issues like diabetes, and heart attacks, has fueled the demand for functional carbohydrates such as Isomalt, and Palatinose, which are used for producing sugar-free food. The consumers are trying to seek the benefits from the food that they are consuming, which gives great opportunities for functional carbohydrates that are used in making functional foods in the upcoming years.

The major key players involved in the global functional carbohydrates market are:

  • Cargill, incorporated
  • Roquette frères
  • Fraken Biochem Co. Ltd.
  • Foodchem International Corporation
  • Others

In January 2019, BENEO showcased toffees that were made using Palatinose, which replaces more than 30% of the sugar content found in the regular toffees.

Key findings of the global functional carbohydrates market:

  • Europe leads the market by capturing the largest market share of around 36.84% in 2018.
  • The Asia Pacific market is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR of XX% during the forecast period of 2019-2027.
  • The Food & Beverage lead in the applications domain with the largest market share of around XX % in 2018.
  • Curdlan type is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR of XX% during the forecast period of 2019-2027.
