The food & beverages segment led the carbohydrates market with the largest share in 2023. Carbohydrates are essential in the food industry since they provide essential nutrients, texture, and taste to products such as bread, pasta, cereals, and snacks. They are also used as thickeners, stabilizers, and sweeteners. Fast-releasing and slow-releasing carbohydrates are used in food preparation for their functional attributes like coating ability, viscosity, sweetness, solubility, and browning capacity. The rising demand for carbohydrate-rich snacks contributed to segmental growth.
The others segment is anticipated to grow at the fastest rate over the projected period due to its versatility in various sectors. Carbohydrates are used as a feedstock for producing ethanol. They are also used in drug formulation. Adhesives and textiles are examples of non-food applications that depend on carbs. This versatility across industries further boosts their demand in various industries.
Market Dynamics
Driver
Increasing demand for functional carbohydrates
The demand for functional carbohydrates is rising at a rapid pace due to the growing concerns about health and wellness. These carbohydrates are used in different foods and dietary supplements for their health benefits, such as immunity enhancement, weight control, healthy gut/digestive systems maintenance, and heart disease care. The rising concerns about obesity and gastrointestinal disorders are boosting the demand for dietary supplements and functional beverages enriched with carbohydrates. The increasing consumption rates of convenience meals have led to a high demand for carbohydrates, fibers, proteins, and fats in ready-to-eat or ready-to-mix/drink products. Moreover, functional carbohydrates are also used in veterinary feed ingredients, as they can improve the pet's skin and health.
Restraint
Disorders associated with carbohydrates is major challenge
Food is transformed into energy through enzymes utilized by the body, which is termed metabolism. The inability of the body's enzymes to convert carbohydrates to glucose leads to a type of metabolic disease called carbohydrate metabolism disorders that result in an excess sugar buildup in the body tissues, which can be dangerous. It can lead to serious health issues, with some being life-threatening. If there is a family history of these disorders, parents may undergo genetic tests to determine if they are carriers of the gene. Other genetic tests can also help to establish if either the condition is present in the fetus or whether it carries the gene for it. To conclude, metabolic disorders significantly impact how well food-derived energy is used and stored in human bodies.
Opportunity
Rising demand for specialty carbohydrates
Specialty carbohydrates are in high demand, as people are becoming aware of the health benefits of high fiber content in food. Thus, people are focusing on improving health by adding carbohydrate components, such as resistant starches, dietary fibers, and prebiotics. Such products are included in various foods and drinks, like probiotic yogurt and fortified cereals. Furthermore, nutritional supplements are an easy way to promote health. Thus, the rising demand for sports nutrition and weight loss products further fuels the market.
