Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) :
Global trends relating to dietary fiber stem from sociodemographic and sociocultural differences in consumer perceptions and acceptance. Consequently, the rate of trend development differs both within and across country borders. For larger organizations, this creates a need for flexible product formulations that can be rapidly modified to respond to the varying needs of different markets, whilst smaller organizations can benefit from the ‘start-up’ approach to innovation. The regulatory framework surrounding dietary fiber products is continually evolving in order to keep up with industry developments. For a long time, there was little regulatory involvement in this area in many markets worldwide. Products are now controlled by several different legislations, mainly nutrition and health claims regulations for related claims and novel food regulations for the permissibility of the functional ingredient itself. Other significant considerations are the origin and processing of the dietary fiber ingredient(s), important in ensuring the quality and safety of the final product.
On the basis of application, the food & beverages held considerable market share of the dietary fiber market in 2020. There is a clear and growing demand for products with enhanced nutritional credentials and the functional beverage market has responded quickly to this. Drinks are targeted across multiple demographic groups, ranging from children to senior citizens, each with their own very specific needs and desires. Part of the reason that this gap in the market has been plugged by the beverage category, is that beverages offer a great vehicle for functional ingredients; they are flexible in terms of formulation, packaging, size and shelf life. They are also tremendously convenient and single-serve units allow them to fit well into our fast-paced lifestyles. It is not a surprise that companies of all sizes around the world invest heavily in beverage innovation. However, creating completely new or reformulating existing functional drinks is not simple. There are significant technical, regulatory and nutritional hurdles, which the development process needs to take into consideration.
North America is the largest market for dietary fiber, which is closely followed by Europe, however Asia Pacific is set to grow at a highest pace during the forecast period.
In Europe the introduction of both nutrition and health claims and novel food regulations changed the dynamics of the functional foods market, leaving many manufacturers, particularly those selling botanical ingredients, in a state of uncertainty over the legality of their claims. However, the new novel foods regulation introduced a fast-track procedure; when the regulation came into effect in January 2018, which was likely to speed up the approval process for functional food ingredients. One of the leading markets for functional foods is Japan, where these products are known as ‘health foods’. These ‘health foods’ are categorized into three groups, which include:
- Foods for Specified Health Uses (FOSHU)
- Foods with nutrition function claims; and
- ‘So-called health foods’
The previously uncontrolled ‘so-called health foods’ have been regulated by the new self-substantiation notification procedure since April 2015, where hundreds of products were notified within the first month alone. Although many countries in the world make reference to the EU and Japanese regulations related to ‘functional foods’, specific requirements are drastically different. An ingredient traditionally used in one country may be classified as ‘novel’ in others. These differences make it difficult for manufacturers to find a globally accepted product.
