Konjac Market Outlook (2022 to 2032)

Konjac is a suitable diet meal since it has a large amount of fiber, nearly few calories, and glutin. Due to its high thickening and emulsifying properties, konjac containing glucomannan is primarily used as a food additive in products like fruit juices, jams, pasta, noodles, and others.
