According to World Health Organization, as of 2022, over 1 billion people across the globe are facing the obesity problem. Out of these 1 billion, 650 million are adults, and teenagers and children are accounting for 340 million and 39 million respectively. Obesity has become a big headache for countries in Oceania such as Nauru, Cook Islands, Tonga, and others as the body mass index of these nations has crossed the mark of 30 which represent obesity of class 1. On another hand, the surge in gastrointestinal infections post-covid-19 is overwhelming. According to the National Center of Biotechnology Information, nearly 51.9 percent of the patients diagnosed with covid had gastrointestinal patients. Thus, these health issues generate a need for the consumption of fibers which in turn is anticipated to fuel market growth.

In the wake of sky-rocketing demand, the overall fruit production has soared globally. For instance, global banana production in 2020 was 119.83 million metric tons; whereas, apple production stood at around 86.44 million metric tons. China is the leading fruit producer with more than 242 million metric tons followed by India with more than 100 million metric tons of production.
