As compared to other sweeteners, inulin has a higher nutritional content such as rich in fibers and presence of minerals such as potassium and calcium, proteins, and vitamins like vitamin C.

Awareness regarding the adverse effects of inappropriate consumption of sugar has led consumers to actively seek sweeteners of both types including natural as well as artificial sweeteners. In particular, with the intention of weight loss and reducing the risk of diabetes, consumption of artificial sweeteners has intensified in the recent past. However, artificial sweeteners include man-made chemicals that are harmful to human health. Additionally, artificial sweeteners contain high-calorie content that bothers health-conscious consumers. On the other hand, natural and organic sweeteners have low-calorie content and are devoid of harmful chemicals. Owing to this, natural sweeteners such as agave syrup, stevia, and inulin have gained considerable traction. This significant shift in consumer adoption successfully addresses major problems faced during the usage of sugar and artificial sweeteners. Given that rising demand for natural sweeteners among health-conscious consumers is likely to bolster inulin adoption, in turn, driving the inulin market in the coming decade.
Strong Supply Chain to Fill the Gap between Processing Facilities and Feedstock Resource
Latin America and Western Europe supply feedstock for inulin such as agave, chicory and Jerusalem artichoke with the growing demand from the key producers of inulin. However, countries in the Asia Pacific are establishing processing facilities of inulin owing to the advantages such as the abundance of resources and economic labor. Particularly, China and India are witnessing the establishment of various processing facilities of inulin, presenting a huge demand for inulin feedstock. Well-established shipping routes and supply chain have braced these establishments of processing facilities in Asia Pacific region. With the presence of strong supply chain and shipping routes, accessibility of feedstock of inulin has increased significantly in the Asia Pacific region, in turn, supporting the growth of the inulin market in the global space during the estimated period.
Alternative Prebiotic Ingredients and Adverse Effects of Excessive Inulin Consumption to Challenge Adoption
Naturally derived ingredients such as mannan oligosaccharides (MOS), fructooligosaccharides (FOS), galactooligosaccharides (GOS), and inulin are highly sought after in the prebiotics market. Increasing use of alternative prebiotic ingredients such as GOS and MOS is expected to outnumber adoption of inulin in the future. On the other hand, inappropriate and excessive consumption of inulin leads to adverse effects such as discomfort in the digestive system and allergic reactions. Presence of alternative prebiotic ingredients and adverse side effects of inappropriate inulin consumption are likely to challenge the adoption of inulin in the future, in turn influencing growth trajectory of the inulin market during the forecast period.
