Apple Fiber Market
Apple fiber is a natural byproduct derived from the pomace of apples. Apple fiber powder is manufactured by pressing the apple to remove the juice, then drying and grinding the leftover solid, or pomace, into a powder of uniform particle size. Apple fiber has a wide range of uses, but it is most commonly used as an ingredient to boost the fiber content of prepared foods since it is high in both soluble and insoluble dietary fiber. Apple fiber may also be utilised as a fat substitute and can be found in processed meats and sausages. Furthermore, apple fiber can be utilised to substitute or augment more expensive fruit components as a bulking agent and fruit extender.
Growing demand for healthy foods and drinks is likely to provide doors for participants in the worldwide apple fiber market. Apple fiber-based products are likely to see considerable growth in sales because to the growing demand for natural food items. During the forecast period, players in the market are projected to capitalise on this potential. Food and beverage firms are putting a lot of effort into research and development to improve the nutritional and multifunctional profile of their products so that they may provide significant health benefits while maintaining clear labelling.

However, restricted availability of apple fiber in many APAC, Latin America, and MEA countries, as a result of low manufacturing concentration and poor consumer awareness of apple fibre, is expected to impede the worldwide apple fiber market's development over the forecast period.
