(Food-Beverage-News.Com, November 13, 2018 ) Polysaccharides and oligosaccharides are essentially complex carbohydrates that include chain of monosaccharide molecules. In oligosaccharides, typically a three to ten monosaccharide molecule chain is observed. Polysaccharides include long monosaccharide chains in which the monosaccharide units are bound by glycosidic linkages. Oligosaccharides are used as prebiotics owing to their characteristic non-digestibility nature that proves beneficial to human health. They are found in onions, artichokes, bananas and garlic. On the other hand, polysaccharides are digestible as well as non-digestible. Starch is the only digestible polysaccharide. Non-starchy and starchy vegetables, unrefined grains, certain fruits and legumes are sources of non-digestible polysaccharides. Both these complex carbohydrates have a distinct as well as an overlapping functioning in the human body.
According to Fact.MR’s recent research report, the global Polysaccharides and Oligosaccharides Market is anticipated to expand at a value CAGR of 4.8% throughout the period of assessment, 2017-2026. By the end of the assessment year, 2026, above 7540 Bn tons of production of polysaccharides and oligosaccharides is estimated to be consumed across the globe.
Asia Pacific Excluding Japan to Surpass Other Regions With Respect to Growth Rate and Market Share During the Forecast Period
Asia Pacific excluding Japan (APEJ) region is expected to be a highly lucrative region for the growth of polysaccharides and oligosaccharides market. The consumption of polysaccharides and oligosaccharides is expected to grow in this region owing to increased demand from the food sector in various applications. The polysaccharides and oligosaccharides market in APEJ is estimated to reach a valuation a little under US$ 9 Bn by the end of the year of assessment from a value of about US$ 5 Bn in 2017. The market in this region is projected to grow at the highest pace throughout the period of forecast to register a relatively high value CAGR.
Europe followed by North America are also expected to largely contribute to the growth of the global polysaccharides and oligosaccharides market. Europe is expected to be the second largest with respect to market valuation. Also the consumption of polysaccharides and oligosaccharides in this region is expected to grow at a moderate pace in the coming years.
Oligosaccharides to Gain High Steam With Respect to Consumption Across the Globe
In the product type category, the oligosaccharides segment is expected to expand at a comparatively high value CAGR of 5.2% during the period of assessment. This can be attribute to the growing consumption of oligosaccharides across the globe in various applications. However, the polysaccharides segment is expected to lead the global market with a high market share and valuation. This segment is estimated to touch a value of over US$ 9 Bn by the end of the year of assessment.
Demand for Polysaccharides and Oligosaccharides in Animal Feed to Reflect High Growth in the Coming Years
Polysaccharides and oligosaccharides are used in various applications such as in the production of beverages, infant milk formula, animal feed, bakery and confectionery, dairy products and snacks. The consumption of polysaccharides and oligosaccharides in animal feed is expected to increase at a robust rate in the coming years. The animal feed application segment is projected to grow at a relatively high value CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period. However, the beverages application segment is estimated to be the largest with a high market share and value and is expected to dominate the global market throughout the period of forecast.
