A diabetic food is a type of food product that helps in maintaining and regulating blood glucose levels. It also helps in maintaining body weight. With the increasing global cases of diabetes, the demand for diabetic foods is also expected to witness significant growth. The rising prevalence of the different types of diabetes (type 1 and type 2) among the population is making them more aware of the importance of consuming healthy diabetic food to mitigate the chances of suffering from further complications. There has been a rise in the prevalence of diabetes over the past few years, and it poses a major burden to the individuals in the population of both younger and older generations.

The global demand for diabetic food products is expected to witness major growth with the increasing advancements in food technologies. Introducing new food and beverage ingredients, like artificial sweeteners and high-fiber ingredients, is expected to increase the efficiency of diabetic food products. Similarly, with the increasing global population of the older population, the demand for these products will surge significantly.

What are the global diabetic food market drivers?

• Increasing global cases of diabetes

The increasing number of diabetes cases worldwide is expected to propel the demand for diabetic foods during the forecasted timeline. The global cases of diabetes have increased massively, which can majorly be attributed to the increasing consumption of processed foods and beverage products and the prevalence of unhealthy lifestyles.

The British Diabetic Association, in its global report, stated that during the 2022-23 financial year, a total of 4.4 million individuals in the nation had diabetes, along with 1.2 million individuals living with type 2 diabetes. The agency stated that the total cases of diabetes in 2022-23 witnessed an increase of 167,822 cases compared to the 2021-22 financial year. In the nation, about 8% of the total individuals living with diabetes have type 1, whereas about 90% of diabetes patients suffer from type 2 diabetes.

Similarly, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the USA, in its report, stated that since August 2021 and 2023, the prevalence of diabetes was recorded at 15.8%. The agency stated that in the total prevalence of diabetes in the nation, undiagnosed diabetes accounts for 4.5%, and diagnosed diabetes accounts for 11.3%. The agency further stated that the prevalence of diabetes in the age group between 20 and 39 years was recorded at 3.6%, 17.7% for the age between 40 and 59 years, and 27.3% for the age group above 60 years.

Global diabtetic food market restraints:

• Increasing demand for processed food products

The increasing global demand for processed foods products is expected to challenge the global diabetic foods market growth. With the rising demand for processed foods, the introduction of new and innovative food technology is expected to increase significantly. Processed food and beverage products contain high levels of sugar in the form of sweeteners and preservatives. The sweeteners and preservatives in processed food and beverage products increase the blood glucose level, increasing the risk of diabetes.

Geographical outlook of the diabetic food market:

Asia Pacific is forecasted to hold a major share of the global diabetic food market

The Asia Pacific region is expected to grow significantly in the forecasted timeline. The increasing number of cases of diabetic food products in this region is expected to boost the growth of diabetic foods. Various countries in the region, like India, China, Japan, and Singapore, witnessed massive growth in diabetes cases. For instance, the World Health Organization, in its report, stated that in India, 77 million people over 18 years had type 2 diabetes. The agency stated that for individuals above 18 years, the prevalence of prediabetes was recorded at 25 million. Similarly, the cases of diabetes in other nations in the region, like China, Singapore, and Japan, also witnessed significant growth in the total diabetes cases in the past few years.
