- Press Release -

A recently revamped Fact.MR report expects the market for inulin to register a CAGR of 8.2% from 2021 to 2031, expected to reach a value of US$ 2.2 Bn by the end of the said forecast period. Growth is likely to bank on the increasing consumption of functional foods & beverages aimed at boosting overall immunity of consumers and reduce chronic health problems.

From 2016 to 2020, sales experienced an incline at a CAGR of 6%. During the COVID-19 pandemic, demand spiked significantly in the pharmaceutical sector. Increase in the consumption of nutraceuticals and healthy sugar-free foods led to the increased sales.

Growing popularity of prebiotic ingredients and increasing awareness campaigns for low fat and calorie reduction are expected to fuel the global inulin market during the forecast period. Moreover, government authorized food and drugs organizations across several nations have recognized inulin as a safe product, ensuring consumer safety.

Key Takeaways from the Market Study

• Global inulin market likely to reach US$ 1 Bn by 2021-end
• Chicory roots derived inulin to be most preferred, growing at a CAGR of 6.5%
• By form, powdered inulin consumption to surge at a CAGR of 6%, owing to easy solubility
• Organic inulin sales to register an incline of 5% in value CAGR terms until 2031
• Inulin for functional food & beverages to yield a revenue worth US$ 170 Mn by 2031

“Increasing expenditure on clinical nutrition and functional foods is driving the global inulin market, and this trend is expected to continue during the forecast period”, says a Fact.MR analyst.

Competitive Landscape

The existence of a few significant corporate actors such as Jarrow Formulas (New Mountain Capital), Sensus, Cosucra Groupe Warcoing SA, and BENEO-Orafti SA has helped to solidify the inulin industry share (BENEO-Remy NV). These major inulin suppliers are focusing their efforts on inorganic and strategic activities such as new product development, acquisitions, and partnerships, as well as investments in capacity expansions, to strengthen their position in global markets.

• Sensus, for example, announced intentions to invest heavily in expanding its chicory inulin manufacturing capacity beginning in 2021 in July 2020. Following the increased investment, the business expects to contract with its farmer base for more acres of chicory root.
• In another case, Beneo produced organic inulin from chicory roots in April 2019 for usage in dairy products, baked goods, and cereal applications. The prebiotic fiber novelty provides digestive health advantages such as decreased blood glucose response and weight management.
