COVID-19 scenario-

- Also, functional food products are believed to boost immunity and aid in the body’s defenses. This factor has propelled the global functional food market to a great extent.
The probiotics segment to retain its dominance by 2027-
Based on ingredients, the probiotics segment contributed to more than one-fourth of the global functional food market share in 2019 and is expected to rule the roost by 2027. This is because it helps in the prevention of a number of diseases such as diarrhea. It also helps in boosting mental health conditions which further fuels the market growth. The vitamins segment, on the other hand, would register the fastest CAGR of 7.7% throughout the forecast period, due to increased health awareness among people and prevalence of diseases and disorders caused by vitamin deficiencies.
The bakery & cereals segment to rule the roost-
Based on product, the bakery & cereals segment accounted for more than one-fourth of the global functional food market revenue in 2019 and is projected to lead the trail by the end of 2027, owing to growing population and economic improvements of individuals across the world. Simultaneously, the soy products segment would garner the fastest CAGR of 8.8% during the study period. This is because it contains phytochemicals that can reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
Asia-Pacific, followed by North America, to dominate in terms of revenue-
Based on geography, Asia-Pacific, followed by North America, held the major share in 2019, generating nearly half of the global functional food market. The same region is projected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 7.2% from 2021 to 2027.
