The study opines that growth of the IMO market will remain promising. However, true potential of the market has been constrained by recent revelation from the FDA that there is no evident ground for physiological health benefits from IMO consumption. Additionally, FDA has not proposed to amend the list to include IMO as dietary fiber. Although key players are focusing on reformulation of their products, it is highly likely that several small players won’t act to the cause immediately, and IMOs will remain falsely labelled as ‘fiber’ in various food products in the foreseeable future.
This Fact.MR research study provides a long-term perspective of the isomalto-oligosaccharide market for the duration, 2019 to 2029. The isomalto-oligosaccharide market is estimated to register a CAGR of ~7% through 2029.
