Biofortification Market: Global Industry Trend Analysis 2013 to 2017 and Forecast 2018 - 2028
Market Outlook:
The increasing population, urbanization, busy working life has led unhealthy as well as uneven eating habits. There is a rise in awareness among people about the benefits of having a healthy diet. However, with the increased use of processed food there is an increased demand for food with increased nutritional content. With the rise in need of high nutritional food, there is an increase in the popularity of fortification.
As per WHO, Fortification is the process of intentionally increasing the content of an essential micronutrient, i.e. mineral and vitamins as well as including trace elements in food, in order to improve the nutritional quality of the food in order to provide a public health benefit with lower risk to health.
According to WHO, Biofortification is the process by which intends the improvement in nutritional quality in food crops through conventional plant breeding, agronomic practices or advance biotechnological methods.
The basic difference between Biofortification and conventional fortification is that the value addition is done in the nutrition levels of crops during its growth period instead of increasing value while food processing. Biofortification is thus gaining popularity with an increasing demand for high nutritional value food and the market for Biofortification is expected to grow over the forecast period.
Increasing Popularity and Implementation of Biofortification with Rising Need and Demand for Food with High Nutritive Value
Growing demand for high nutritive value food is increasing demand for fortification and Biofortification. Growing demand for food with high nutritive value, increasing health-related issues, as well as rising incidences of malnutrition and nutritional deficiencies are some primary factor that is driving the global Biofortification market.
