In 2024, New Zealand continued to rely heavily on inulin imports, with a significant portion coming from top exporters Australia, Hong Kong, Belgium, Hungary, and Vietnam. The high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicates a concentrated market, suggesting potential challenges for competition and pricing. Despite a moderate compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.11% from 2020 to 2024, there was a decline in growth rate from 2023 to 2024. This shift highlights the need for businesses to adapt to changing market dynamics and explore opportunities for sustainable growth in the inulin import industry in New Zealand.

The Inulin market in New Zealand is projected to grow at a high growth rate of 13.76% by 2027, highlighting the country's increasing focus on advanced technologies within the Asia region, where China holds the dominant position, followed closely by India, Japan, Australia and South Korea, shaping overall regional demand.

Inulin, a dietary fiber, is gaining popularity in New Zealand for its health benefits, including improved digestive health and blood sugar management. The inulin market is driven by the increasing demand for functional foods and dietary supplements.
The demand for inulin in New Zealand is primarily driven by the growing awareness of its health benefits, including its role as a prebiotic fiber. With an increasing focus on health and wellness, consumers are seeking out products that offer functional benefits, such as digestive health support, which inulin provides. Additionally, the rise of natural and clean label trends in the food and beverage industry is fueling the demand for natural sweeteners and ingredients like inulin.
The Inulin market in New Zealand encounters challenges related to consumer awareness, product differentiation, and regulatory compliance. While inulin offers various health benefits as a prebiotic fiber, manufacturers struggle to educate consumers about its uses and applications.

Government policies in New Zealand promote the Inulin Market by supporting the production and use of functional foods and dietary supplements. Policies encourage the incorporation of inulin in food products for its health benefits, aiming to improve public health and nutrition.
