Latest News- Functional Food Ingredients Market: Probiotics and prebiotics is expected to lead the Product segment during 2025-2029

The Functional Food Ingredients Market is being driven by Increased demand for functional food ingredients from probiotics segment

The Functional Food Ingredients Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.6% during 2024 and 2029. During this period, the market is also expected to show a growth of USD 59.1 billion. In the functional food ingredients market, omega-3 fatty acids, primarily sourced from fish oils and scales, face consumer preference challenges due to their undesirable odor and taste. To address this issue, manufacturers are exploring alternative sources such as algae, krill (zooplankton), and genetically modified (GM) plants. The global demand for omega-3-based products continues to surge due to their health benefits in preventing diseases like arrhythmias, thrombosis, high blood pressure, and inflammation. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the consumption of eicosatetraenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid omega-3 fatty acids derived from these sources. This increasing demand and the identification of alternative sources are anticipated to boost the consumption rate of omega-3 fatty acids, thereby fueling the growth of the global functional food ingredients market throughout the forecast period.
