Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are oligosaccharides that occur naturally in plants such as onion, chicory, garlic, asparagus, banana, artichoke, among many others, which are composed of linear chains of fructose units, linked by beta (2-1) bonds.
Liquid and solid refer to the two properties of Fructooligosaccharide products. Liquid Fructooligosaccharide (FOS) refers to the slightly yellow oil or liquid, while olid Fructooligosaccharide (FOS) is white or slightly yellow amorphous powder. In 2019, these two products accounted for 45.71% and 54.29% of the market respectively.
Fructooligosaccharide (FOS) are widely used, which can be used as a feed additive in the feed industry. The main effect is to increase the growth rate of bifidobacteria in the animal body, thereby inhibiting harmful bacteria in the intestinal tract to varying degrees. Adding it to baby food, especially dairy products, can also achieve this effect. Fructooligosaccharide (FOS) can also be used in lactic acid bacteria beverages, biscuits, bread, cereals and other foods. The addition of FOS not only improves the nutritional and health value of food, but also effectively extends the shelf life of various foods such as ice cream, yogurt, jam and so on. If the fructooligosaccharide is compatible with liquid special medical foods, it can exert a variety of physiological functions of dietary fiber, such as regulating intestinal function, maintaining large intestine integrity, resistance to transplantation, changing the way of nitrogen excretion, and increasing the absorption of minerals. In addition, fructooligosaccharide is used as a biologically active prebiotic and water-soluble dietary fiber in dietary supplements, which can not only meet the basic physiological functions and metabolic needs of the human body, but also promote human health. But in general, FOS is mainly used in food and beverages, and its market share reached 54.58% in 2019.Market Analysis of FOS Industry in Various Regions
After a period of development, the industry is at a mature stage, with fierce competition and high market concentration. With the continuous upgrading of products and the development of technology and economy, the market continues to expand.

Health Issues Promote the Increase in Demand in the Downstream Market and Drive the Development of the Fructooligosaccharide (FOS) Industry
The growth of the fructooligosaccharide (FOS) market is driven by the downstream demand market, and its application areas are not limited to functional foods. With the in-depth research and development of FOS, its scope of application continues to expand. At present, great progress has also been made in the fields of medicine, health care products, and cosmetics. In addition, adding FOS to feed can also increase litter size, increase the weight gain rate and feed conversion rate of weaned animals. New application areas are constantly expanding, which will nurture a huge downstream market and provide a broad space for the sustainable development of the FOS industry.
In addition, more and more regulations around the world allow the use of FOS products, increasing the potential of the consumer market and providing opportunities for the market.
At this stage, due to environmental pollution, improper diet, irregular work and rest, and antibiotic abuse, mankind is facing serious sub-health problems.
