The fibermaxxing trend is occurring alongside measurable changes in consumer attitudes.
The International Food Information Council’s 2025 Food & Health Survey found that 28% of Americans considered “good source of fiber” an attribute of a healthy food, up four percentage points from 2024—the largest year-over-year increase among several health attributes measured in the survey.

Gut health is also an established consumer priority. In IFIC’s 2024 survey, 36% of consumers said they sought digestive or gut-health benefits from foods, beverages, or nutrients. Interest varied by generation, reaching 42% among Baby Boomers, 35% among Millennials, and 34% among Gen X consumers. (ific.org)
Market projections point in the same direction. Fortune Business Insights estimates that the global fiber supplements market reached $10.43 billion in 2025 and projects growth from $11.26 billion in 2026 to $21.17 billion by 2034, representing an estimated 8.21% CAGR. (fortunebusinessinsights.com)
Circana has gone further, arguing that fiber interest is becoming a longer-term consumer trend rather than a short-lived social phenomenon. The company connects the trend with growing interest in gut health, holistic wellness, satiety, weight management, and changing dietary behaviors surrounding GLP-1 medications. (circana.com)
Together, these trends suggest a category opportunity that extends well beyond consumers searching specifically for traditional fiber supplements.
