What are the Key Trends in the Market for Fortified sugars?

Increasing Prevalence of Micronutrient Deficiencies Create Needs for Fortified Sugar

Rising incidences of vitamin and mineral deficiencies among consumers across the globe have given rise to different nutritional disorders. An increasing number of children and women being affected by nutritional deficiencies has become a cause of concern throughout the world. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), vitamin A insufficiency affects 127 million preschool children, with 250,000-500,000 youths becoming blind every year. Furthermore, the WHO also states that almost half for these children, who lose their sight due to Vitamin A deficiency, succumb to death within 12 months of becoming blind. Dire consequences of micronutrient deficiencies can certainly have deleterious effects on health. To address the critical problems like increasing prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies, most governments and social organizations are promoting fortification of staple foods such as sugar, which is expected to boost the demand for fortified sugar in coming future.

“Widespread Adoption Due to Great Health Benefits of Consuming Fortified Foods”

While leading the fast-paced and busy lifestyle, dietary habits of consumers have changed drastically. Increasing consumption of processed and junk food has led most of the consumers getting affected by serious nutritional disorders. Taking into account the nutritional intake of consumers getting lower day by day, most governments recommend consuming fortified foods in their dietary guidelines for consumers. Many healthful benefits of fortified foods help consumers to maintain the sufficient nutritional intake including calcium, vitamins, dietary fibers, and magnesium. Many children as well as adults fail to consume enough vegetables and fruits, which ultimately results in failing to get most of the necessary nutrients. As consuming fortified foods can support the consumers with sufficient nutrients and keep away the hazardous nutritional deficiency, demand for fortified foods such as fortified sugar is expected to rise during the forecast period.

“Manufacturers Encouraging Developments in the Drying Technology of Sugar Fortification to Boost the Market Growth”

With the increasing demand for fortified sugar owing to its health benefits in preventing consumers from nutritional disorders, manufacturers are making efforts to improve the efficiency of the production processes. Global leaders are investing in R&D activities to develop advanced technologies to manufacture fortified sugar with even better quality and nutritional values. The drying fortification technique is frequently used to produce fortified sugar to prevent thermal degradation losses. The drying method reduces nutritional losses and enhances product quality by utilizing various combinations of time and temperature. The top players use several fortification methods for drying, including oven, drum, and spray drying, with advanced manufacturing technologies to raise the quality of their products.

“Growing Consumer Awareness towards Ways to Follow Healthy Lifestyle Will Augment the Demand“

Micronutrient deficiency affects both developing and developed countries worldwide, and malnutrition remains one of the most important health issues affecting the worldwide population. Both rural and urban populations suffer from nutritional deficits and related health concerns yearly. The WHO is focusing the majority of its efforts on increasing health awareness among consumers worldwide. Various nutritional problems are caused by shifts in consumer lifestyle and dietary patterns, and increasing attempts are being undertaken to induce healthy lifestyle modifications among consumers. Rising consumer health consciousness may lead to an increase in demand for nutritious food supplements in the upcoming years. The global market for fortified sugar may experience significant growth as more people become aware of how to live a healthy, disease-free lifestyle with the aid of fortified foods.

“Discretionary Fortification of Sugar May Carry the Risk of Nutrient Toxicity”

Discretionary fortification is a method of adding necessary nutrients such as minerals and vitamins to various food products. Despite the FDA's enrichment regulations, several producers use discretionary fortification of unenriched food products. Manufacturers modify the nutritional and dietary qualities of products with a high-energy content by using discretionary fortification methods, which may lead to customers consuming less healthy food products. Discretionary fortification of sugar can also lead to the addition of more vitamins and minerals than prescribed safety limits, making the product unsafe for consumption. Many regulatory bodies and governments have imposed strict rules and regulations on fortified foods due to the risk of nutritional poisoning posed by implementing discretionary sugar fortification.
