Growing Preference for Fortified Foods Fuels the Growth of the Vitamin D Market
Nowadays, many health-conscious people are looking for not only nutritionally enriched foods but also those that provide essential health supplements to prevent possible diseases and improve physical and mental well-being. Rising incidences of various types of chronic disorders like rickets, which are caused by deficiency of vitamin D along with poor dietary habits of consumers, is another factor likely to boost the demand for fortified foods. The vitamin D industry also benefits from consumers' increasing willingness to spend money on fortified foods in emerging markets.
People are more health conscious and are ready to spend more on healthy diet options. Also, increasing awareness regarding this encourages consumers to incorporate fortified food products into their diets. Thus, the fortification of food products with vitamins is rapidly gaining traction as consumers in developing and developed regions prefer products such as functional beverages, dietary supplements, and fortified processed foods, which offer additional health benefits.
In addition, the support of government agencies has also encouraged the fortified foods sector. For instance, the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have recognized food fortification as one of the crucial strategies for eradicating pervasive malnourishment, particularly in developing nations. Vitamin D-fortified milk helps lower the incidence of rickets in young children. Thus, the increase in consumption of such products is expected to drive the growth of the global vitamin D market.
