Citrus Fiber Market Overview
Market Research Future (MRFR) Citrus Fiber Market Size was estimated at USD 0.4 billion in 2022. The citrus fiber market industry is projected to grow from USD 0.41 Billion in 2023 to USD 0.49 billion by 2030, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.17% during the forecast period (2023 – 2030).
Mounting concerns about the additives present in foods as well as meat has made clean labels almost a prerequisite for the citrus fibers market. In view of the toxic effects of synthetic additives on the human body, many processed food developers are infusing natural alternatives in their products, such as citrus fibers. Citrus fiber in processed meat acts as a natural alternative to ingredients like sodium tripolyphosphate, reducing its adverse impact on product integrity. Given the surge in this kind of replacement formula, the global citrus fiber market research should continue to expand at a rapid rate between 2021 and 2030.
The surge in disorders including cancer, allergies, diabetes, and cardiovascular disorders has prompted the population to increasingly opt for a healthy lifestyle. This involves using natural, organic, and healthy ingredients. Given the rise in health concerns, food developers are using natural emulsifier extracts, which have a large surface area that allows them to pull oil and water. Additionally, the fibrous compositions have hydrophilic and lipophilic ends that help attract moisture and oil to the matrix, which further binds them together. This will be a major growth booster for the worldwide industry in the upcoming years.

The governments of various countries have imposed strict containment and preventive measures to control the impact of the outbreak resulting in restricted transportation of raw materials across the globe. Therefore, a demand and supply gap were formed, but swell in demand for packaged goods was observed. This trend is expected to continue owing to the uncertainty in the global market. Partial easement of lockdowns in multiple countries and restarting of trade in some capacity has shown positive effect on the market.
