Key Trends in the South Korea Insoluble Dietary Fibres Market

Insoluble fibre is also known as roughage. Unlike soluble fibre, it is insoluble in nature and does not dissolve in water. It is found in foods like vegetables, whole grains, and wheat bran, among others. Insoluble fibre makes the faeces bulky which aids their smooth movement in the intestine.

Health Related Benefits are Majorly Aiding the Insoluble Dietary Fibres Market Growth in South Korea

Diverticulitis is a disorder that causes pouches in the intestinal walls to become inflamed and infected. The diverticular disease typically develops in conjunction with a diet poor in fibre. A substantial intake of insoluble fibre lowers the incidence of diverticular illness by around 40% . Additionally, consuming more dietary fibre lowers the chance of developing several malignancies, including colon cancer. According to some studies insoluble fibre speeds up the body's removal of waste. As a result, the exposure to hazardous chemicals that form as a by-product of digestion is decreased. Insoluble fibre also aids in preserving the ideal pH balance in the intestines. This stops bacteria from producing cancer-causing chemicals as a result. These health benefits urge customers to consume insoluble fibre frequently, thereby augmenting the insoluble dietary fibres market in South Korea.

The Growing Fast-Food Establishments Along with High Disposable Income are Soaring the Market for Insoluble Dietary Fibres

Universal tendencies include a quickening transition from communicable to non-communicable illnesses and parallel changes in food, exercise, and body composition. Compared to the majority of Asian countries, South Korea underwent an economic transition early. After recovering from the Korean War, its economy has grown at an astounding rate over the past three decades. The rapid adoption of characteristics of what may be called a Western lifestyle was one of the concurrent shifts in lifestyle. Fast-food and beverage establishments were launched and quickly gained popularity, particularly among the younger set. However, campaigns to preserve traditional food staples and eating habits also emerged during the same period. This confluence of circumstances caused the dietary transition in South Korea to take on its distinctive form owing to high disposable income and high living standards.

Market Share by Type

Insoluble fibre efficiently supports the digestive system by increasing the bulk of stools and facilitating their excretion. They retain their physical as well as functional properties even after hours of cooking. Cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin are the primary components of insoluble fibre and resistant starch. Constipation is a typical gastrointestinal ailment, particularly in the elderly and is known to be relieved and prevented by consuming fibre. As it moves through the gastrointestinal system, insoluble fibre binds water. This lessens the likelihood of constipation by making faeces thicker and softer. Stools with more bulk move more easily. Such health benefits motivate consumers to consume a variety of insoluble fibres depending on their needs and thereby propel the market of insoluble dietary fibre in South Korea.

Market Share by Source

Insoluble fibre may be found in abundance in whole-wheat products, including flour, wheat bran, nuts, beans, and vegetables like potatoes, cauliflower, and green beans. Consuming foods with added fibre, such as cereal, granola bars, yoghurt, and ice cream, is another approach to increasing the daily intake of fibre. Typically, the additional fibre is usually inulin or chicory root. While it's preferable to obtain fibre through whole meals, those who might benefit from additional insoluble fibre, such as those who want to avoid constipation, have the option of doing so by taking fibre supplements. Fibre is taken from natural sources, such as psyllium husk, to create supplements, that provide fibre in concentrated amounts. 

Market Share by Application

The preference for functional foods and beverages is escalating quickly, leading to increased consumption of prebiotics in the country. The growing health concerns among people of all ages and levels of awareness are expected to accelerate the growth of insoluble dietary fibre usage in the pharmaceutical and food and beverage industries of South Korea. Furthermore, the high demand for weight management items, especially among the youth, offers more opportunities for the market players to launch more of these products in the South Korean market. Insoluble fibres such as roquette pea hulls are extensively used in the pet food industry, and their market is increasing due to the rising demand for pet diet management products.
