The global fortified food market is on track to achieve a value of USD 257,715 million by 2033, expanding at a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2% throughout the forecast period. The growing awareness among consumers in industrialized economies about the health benefits of fortified foods is significantly driving this market.
Significant advancements have been made in food fortification across Africa, with numerous countries endorsing staple food fortification to combat and control micronutrient deficiencies. This effort includes capacity building and system strengthening initiatives to enhance the effectiveness of fortification programs.
Fortified foods, including various condiments, are those enhanced with added micronutrients to boost their nutritional value and improve health outcomes while posing minimal health risks. The addition of these nutrients helps restore those lost during processing and enhances the nutritional quality of staple foods.
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) define food fortification as the deliberate addition of essential micronutrients and vitamins to food to increase its nutritional value. This practice is gaining momentum, particularly in emerging economies in Asia and the Pacific, as well as in developed regions like North America, which continue to drive demand for these products.
As chronic diseases and nutrient deficiencies become more prevalent, consumers are increasingly seeking foods that provide essential nutrients and support specific health goals. Fortified foods, being convenient, marketable, and strategically positioned, are experiencing growth driven by modern trade outlets.
Manufacturers are developing a diverse range of fortified foods to cater to varying consumer preferences and dietary restrictions, including vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free options. These products are also incorporating functional ingredients such as probiotics, prebiotics, antioxidants, and botanical extracts, which offer additional health benefits like improved gut health, enhanced immunity, and disease prevention.
Advancements in drying technologies, including freeze-drying, spray drying, and vacuum drying, are expected to enhance the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and nutrient retention of fortified foods. These innovations are likely to make fortified foods produced through these methods more appealing to consumers.
