The global ketogenic diet food market, valued at USD 9.42 billion in 2023, is projected to grow to USD 16.23 billion by 2033, according to a recent report by Spherical Insights & Consulting. This growth represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.59%. Key players in the market include Nestlé SA, Prüvit Ventures, Perfect Keto, Bulletproof 360 Inc, Know Brainer Foods, Ancient Nutrition, and others.
The ketogenic diet, which restricts carbohydrate intake to 20-50 grams per day while emphasizing fats and protein, induces ketosis—a metabolic state where the body burns fat for energy. This diet has gained popularity for its potential weight loss and cognitive benefits. The market expansion is driven by the rising prevalence of cardiovascular disease, obesity, and metabolic syndrome, alongside increasing consumer awareness of keto diet benefits.
Food manufacturers are responding to this demand by offering a range of keto-friendly products, including beverages, snacks, and meal replacements. The trend is supported by higher disposable incomes and a growing interest in vegan options. Despite the diet’s popularity, experts warn of potential risks such as nutrient deficiencies, high saturated fat intake, and gastrointestinal issues.
