Growing Health Awareness to Fuel Growth

The most important factor contributing towards the growth of the global functional food ingredients market is the advantages of functional foods over conventional diets and regular food products. According to the report, research carried out in the recent past has revealed the effectiveness of functional foods. Amidst increasing concern and awareness for personal health, consumers are gradually shifting their preferences towards healthy foods of high-value nutrition from junk and convenience food. More consumers are now seen stocking up healthy functional foods of high-nutritive value.

However, stringent regulations and strict scrutiny concerning the food industry continue to pose a challenge for the overall expansion of the global functional food ingredients market. Various regulatory bodies such as Food and Drug Administration, United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization are continuously monitoring the use of chemicals in food. These factors pressurize manufacturers to get approvals for the distribution and production thereby delaying the whole process.

Developing Economies to Emerge as the Most Promising Markets

North America accounts for dominant share in the market, with the market in Europe occupying the next spot. Countries such as India, Brazil, and China are of high-value to the players in the global functional food ingredients industry. Intense economic growth of the region along with the ever-expanding working class population, who now has more disposable income to spend, have made the region a lucrative market for the industry. Furthermore, relaxed rules and regulations in the Latin American and Asia Pacific countries would further bolster the growth of the global functional food ingredients market. The region of Asia Pacific and Latin America would, thus, continue to be immensely important for the manufacturers of functional food.
