POLYDEXTROSE MARKET ANALYSIS

Market News

Key Developments:

• Various companies focus on adopting business strategies such as capacity expansion in order to strengthen their foothold in the global market. For instance, In December 2017, Tate & Lyle PLC, a global leader in manufacturing speciality food ingredients, announced completion of process upgrades and capacity expansion at their Polydextrose facility in Nantong, China. This capacity expansion has increased their total capacity in Nantong by almost three times from when it was acquired in 2014.
• Several government administrations are recognizing polydextrose as a source of dietary fiber in food and beverages application. For instance, in June 2018, the U.S Food & Drug Administration (FDA) included the STA-LITE Polydextrose, a Tate & Lyle’s product under its new definition of dietary fibers.
• Moreover, increasing use of polydextrose in end-use industries is expected to drive the market in the near future. For instance, in June 2018, Plexus Worldwide, a direct-sales supplements firm, had developed a new product - Plexus Slim Hunger Control, formulated with polydextrose. This new product aids in enhancing satiety, which helps users feel fuller after eating, thus decreasing hunger and promoting weight loss.
