The global diabetic food market value is expected to rise from USD 12,000 million in 2024 to USD 17,891 million by 2034. Global demand is forecast to surge at a CAGR of 8.3% over the next decade.

Multiple factors are expected to stimulate growth of the diabetic food market during the forecast period. These include increasing prevalence of diabetes, growing health awareness, and shifting dietary preferences.

In matters of health, an unhealthy diet can pose a risk of morbidity. To manage extreme health conditions like type 2 diabetes, consumers are being advised to keep their diet in check. Since this health condition is associated with food, patients with diabetes are heavily filling their kitchen inventories with specialized diabetic food.

In the diabetic food industry, grocers and fresh food producers compete not only on prices but also on food tastes. Players are thus investing in research and development to formulate diabetic foods that taste good and look pleasing.

Governments are also doing their part by imposing taxes on high-sugar products to boost the attractiveness of healthier substitutes from a cost perspective. In addition, the wave of natural and organic diabetic foods is making an impact on the diabetic food market.

Players are seen developing plant-based diets to manage diabetes. Researchers are also developing future strategies to make diabetes management simpler and sustainable. Leading companies are also focusing on ethical and sustainable production practices to align themselves with the latest market trends.
