The global apple fiber market is on track for sustained growth, projected to rise from USD 1.2 billion in 2025 to USD 1.95 billion by 2035, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.0%, according to the latest Fact.MR analysis. Increasing consumer demand for natural, clean-label ingredients and the rising adoption of functional foods and nutraceuticals are driving market expansion across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific.

A Decade of Growth Anchored by Nutritional and Functional Benefits

Apple fiber, derived from apple pomace—a byproduct of juice and cider production—has become a versatile natural dietary fiber ingredient. It offers high levels of pectin, antioxidants, and dietary fiber while serving as a texturizing agent, moisture retainer, and natural preservative enhancer. The food segment dominates the market, representing 55% of total revenue in 2025, while powdered forms account for 70% of applications due to ease of integration in food processing.

Between 2025 and 2030, the market is expected to expand from USD 1.2 billion to USD 1.56 billion, adding USD 360 million in value. Growth during this period is driven by increased inclusion in bakery, dairy, and meat processing, as well as rising demand in emerging functional food markets. From 2030 to 2035, the market will add another USD 390 million, supported by advanced processing technologies, customized fiber formulations, and expansion in high-growth Asian food markets.
