  • Latest News - Konjac Market: Food and beverages is expected to lead the End-user segment during 2024-2028

    The Konjac Market is being driven by Increasing consumption of low-calorie food

    The Konjac Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.52% during 2023 and 2028. During this period, the market is also expected to show a growth of USD 454.2 million. The global food industry has been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, with trade restrictions, border closures, and confinement measures hindering farmers' ability to procure essential inputs and sell their produce. This disruption to international and domestic food supply chains has resulted in decreased access to a wide range of nutritious food options. The pandemic poses a heightened risk to overweight adults, who are more susceptible to hospitalization and severe illness. In response, many individuals are turning to dietary supplements as a means to manage their weight and mitigate these risks. The Konjac market, which specializes in the production and distribution of Konjac, a natural dietary fiber, is experiencing increased demand due to its proven weight loss benefits. This trend is expected to continue as consumers prioritize their health and wellness during these challenging times.
