How are Companies Expanding Their Insoluble Fiber Market Share?

“Introduction of New Dietary Plans and Innovative Marketing Techniques”

Functional food consumption is on the rise due to changing lifestyles and time constraints. The time and resources to eat healthily have decreased due to rising workloads, hectic lives, and the rise in working women (given that women often prepare the majority of the meals in homes). As a result, there is an increasing market for goods that provide a balanced diet. Consequently, there has been a rise in consumer demand for supplements, nutraceuticals, and functional foods. The market for insoluble dietary fibers is growing as they are a crucial component of functional food items.

Suppliers are also focusing on developing new and healthier insoluble dietary products that could prove to be the most lucrative opportunity and divert the market trends. Suppliers can also try to optimize the processing methods to make the product more innovative by working on packaging, as packaging creates the first impression of the product. In today's world digital marketing is the most used and viewed type of marketing, so if the suppliers want to reach their potential buyers then they may reach out to them through digital platforms and social media platforms including Facebook and Instagram.

Other advertising platforms could also provide considerable growth potential to manufacturers in a few particular regions. Promoting their dietary supplements and raising brand awareness through television and newspapers can also increase the popularity of the produce making the revenue jump to a significant level.

Which Conditions are Impeding Sales Opportunities for Manufacturers?

“Disruption is Availability of Raw Materials and Fierce Competition from Other Supplements Diverting Customer Attention”

The main problem faced by suppliers in the market is the availability of raw materials, easy availability makes it very easy for the suppliers to supply as fast as possible, but as the raw materials are not easily available, it surely increases the supply time making customer move to other brands as no one likes to wait for long time to satisfy their demands.

Also with the low availability, prices of raw materials also keep fluctuating according to season and geopolitics increasing the overall cost of the product. Another challenge faced is the increase in competitive costs due to the presence of alternative supplements available in the market, a few of the major competitors include soluble dietary fiber, resistant starch, and prebiotics, which offer similar benefits. These factors are overall deteriorating the product profile and contributing to the downfall of the market.
