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.

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.
