Market Overview s

Food fibers are a group of compounds derived from plant-based foods that help reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes while also improving skin health and weight loss. Food fibers are difficult to break down and thus pass through the human body undigested, keeping the digestive system clean and healthy, easing bowel movements, and flushing cholesterol and harmful carcinogens from the body. They exist in two forms: soluble and insoluble. Key players are increasingly preferring fibers from a variety of sources, including chicory root, asparagus, carrots, Jerusalem artichoke, jicama, leeks, and whole grains, when developing fortified food products with high fiber content and fiber-based supplements for the functional food industry. The growing popularity of prebiotics is expected to have a positive impact on the market and create opportunities for growth in the Iran food fibers market. Stringent government regulations for food fibers present a challenge for the Iran food fibers market. Furthermore, an increase in lifestyle-related diseases, such as obesity and diabetes, is a major growth driver. Furthermore, the development of functional foods with enhanced health benefits is driving up investment in fiber-enriched products. Educational campaigns promoting healthy dietary habits help to drive the market. Other factors driving market growth include an increase in the elderly population, which requires fiber-rich diets, a greater emphasis on preventive healthcare, and extensive research and development (R&D) activities.
