Konjac is used for lowering cholesterol and lowering the risk of obesity through the fat-reducing properties of konjac. This is projected to positively impact the konjac market revenue. The health functions of konjac food have resulted in a large demand for konjac flour in health food and food additives. In the future, the konjac food market is expected to continue to increase due to the increasing use of konjac flour in functional foods. Konjac is also used to manufacture food because of its versatility and clean label profile. <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;">Rising Demand for Clean Label and Natural Ingredients</li> </ul> Globally, there is an increasing demand for clean label and natural ingredients, and people prefer clean labels which are free of artificial and chemical additives. People also want labels which are readable. The natural origin, clean label approach and various advantages of konjac for the industry are responsible for the high growth for the konjac market. Konjac's direct ability to provide improved texture, viscosity and stability properties to food products can compensate for the synthetic food additives that are commonly used. The clean label movement applies to the personal care and cosmetics industry as well, where there is consumer demand for natural products. Derivable cosmeceuticals such as glucomannan are added as ingredients to many personal care and cosmetics products marketed for skin care because they are mild to the human skin. Growing demand for clean label and natural ingredients is expected to have a positive influence on konjac demand across all applications. <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;">Rising Awareness Regarding the Health Benefits Offered by the Product</li> </ul> Growing health consciousness among consumers regarding the konjac health benefits is increasing the market growth. Consumers nowadays are health cautious, and they are very selective about their diet, which is stimulating the market growth in the region. Konjac fibers have been used in APAC customary medicines for centuries. In addition, the konjac plant is also used to produce konjac flour, konjac pasta, konjac noodles, konjac fruit jelly, etc. In terms of medicinal use, konjac reportedly helps manage diabetes and helps with weight loss, cholesterol reduction, constipation, detox, cough, and acne. This, in turn, is creating a positive konjac market outlook. Furthermore, the growing demand for konjac owing to its prebiotic property that improves intestinal functioning, integrity and immunity is offering ample growth opportunities. Apart from health benefits, konjac possesses thickening, stabilizing, gelling, and emulsifying properties which are used in food and many other applications. Key Trends in the Konjac Market <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;">Dominance of Flour Segment</li> </ul> Konjac flour is anticipated to be the fastest-growing segment over the forecast period. Rising use in food & beverages and pharmaceuticals is expected to drive the growth. Demand for konjac flour from healthy foods, pharmaceuticals, food additives, and pet feeds in European and North American countries is expected to promote product growth as health functions in konjac foods are developed over the forecast period. Konjac flour is increasingly in demand as a gluten-free, high-fiber ingredient, and its market growth has been increased by its use as a replacement for customary wheat flour in gluten-free products to provide the strength and moisture content that improves the texture of gluten-free bread, cakes, and pastry products. Contributing to its popularity, konjac flour is commonly used as an ingredient in many baked goods and food formulations, particularly by manufacturers targeting those with dietary restrictions. <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;">Food and Beverages Industry Leadership</li> </ul> The use of konjac in the food and beverage industry is one of the key end-use industries for the market over the past few years and is expected to maintain the trend during the forecast period, owing to its high usage in the food and beverage industry as a thickener, additive or food ingredient, which is driving the overall growth of the thickening, gelling and stabilizing materials in the food and beverage industry. Konjac is also used in low-calorie desserts, vegan meat alternatives and gluten-free pasta products. It is being used with increasing frequency across food categories as it is a unique ingredient for creating novel textures and improving the textural and thermal stability of food products while still maintaining its natural, clean label appeal. <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;">Strategic Marketing and Digital Engagement</li> </ul> To sell konjac products, large manufacturers have developed marketing strategies and various marketing channels to educate customers about the benefits and usage of konjac products.
