According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) data, approximately 10% of all people aged 20-79 in the world were living with diabetes as of 2021.

China alone is estimated to have some 141 million Type 2 Diabetics.

This large population base of individuals with diabetes or weight concerns has presented an opportunity for the introduction of low GI ingredients and the development of low GI foods and beverages.

Driven by consumer demand and China’s national health strategy, low GI foods have shown potential, with a growing variety of new products entering the market.
