Functional Food Ingredients Market Report: Price, New Entrants SWOT Analysis, Competitive Landscape and Gross Margin Forecasted by 2026

The global Functional Food Ingredients market was valued at USD 68.45 billion in 2018 and is expected to reach USD 113.01 billion by the year 2026, at a CAGR of 6.4%. Functional foods offer enhanced benefits beyond their fundamental nutritional value. They encompass an extensive range of products. Some products are generated around a ingredient, for example, foods containing probiotics, prebiotics, or plant stanols and sterols. Other foodstuffs or drinks can be fortified with a nutrient that would not usually be present to any great extent (for instance, folic acid fortified bread or breakfast cereals).

Functional foods and drinks provide vast benefits in health terms. A large number of adults use such kinds of foods and beverages products for a variety of fitness-related concerns, including high cholesterol, obesity, high blood pressure, and heart condition. Brands that incorporate ingredients that address those issues have a high likelihood of capturing consumers' attention.

Consumers forego some taste for nutritional value, but there's still a high taste threshold that consumers don't cross, no matter the benefits a product offers. Thus, maintaining the taste with nutritional benefits is a challenge to the market.

The global Functional Food Ingredients market is remarkably fragmented with major players like DowDuPont (US), Archer Daniels Midland Company (US), Arla Foods (Denmark), BASF SE (Germany), Cargill (US), Chr. Hansen (Denmark), Amway, Kerry Group PLC., Nestle, Standard Functional Foods Group Inc. among others that collectively constitute a competitive market.

The increasing cost of healthcare that is expected to increase life expectancy, and the desire of aged people to improve their quality of life are driving the functional food ingredients market.

One of the most critical aspects of the activity of functional foods regards the possibility that their constituent remains "active" and "bioavailable" even after processing. When consumers consume a functional food or functional drink, the bioactive constituents contained are released from the dietary matrix, metabolized under the action of digestive enzymes, absorbed into the bloodstream, transported to their respective target tissues or excreted via urine or faeces. However, not all constituents can be used to the same extent since they differ in their bioavailability. Bioavailability is defined as the amount of an ingested nutrient that is available for absorption in the gut after digestion.

Therefore, the bioavailability of a nutrient is directed by internal and external and factors. Internal factors are age, gender, nutrient status and particular health-condition (e.g. pregnancy, diseases) whereas the release of the functional constituents from food matrix and its chemical form that allow to permit to enter into the gut cells or pass between them were considered as external factors.

Nucleotides, a component of non-protein nitrogen in human milk, may be important for normal immune function. Supplementation of infant formula with nucleotides seems to be beneficial in clinical trials, although further research is needed before routine nucleotide supplementation of infant formula can be considered. The success of commercially prepared infant formulas has stimulated the development of numerous formulations and several hundred varieties of proprietary infant formulas are now available throughout the world.

Omega-3 oils are essential fatty acids that offer a wide range of benefits, including cardiovascular, eye, and brain health. Long-chain omega-3 oils, especially EPA and DHA, are primarily used as nutritional and pharmaceutical products. They have a range of mechanisms of action, including direct membrane effects and anti-inflammatory benefits. Due to the full range of potential health benefits of EPA and DHA, in particular, there has been a lot of research effort aimed at adding these ingredients into food and beverage.

Regular intake of probiotics can positively influence a person's nutrition. Their way of acting on the body is very complex, and so not all the benefits for the wellbeing are established, and further research in this field is required. Probiotics seem to influence digestive condition positively. It has been observed that probiotics can reduce the mean duration of diarrhea in patients with an infectious form of diarrhea. Probiotics may also help prevent antibiotic-associated diarrhea

Flavonoids, a large family of polyphenolics synthesized by plants, can be divided into many different subclasses, each comprising hundreds of different compounds. The potential benefits to human health of flavonoids include antiviral, antitoxic, anti-fungal, antibacterial, anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities.

Purple corn, MCT oil, maca, coconut vinegar are some of the products expected to be on the rise in recent years
