The fortified rice market revenue is projected to be US$ 20.20 billion in 2023 and the market is expected to reach US$ 34.50 billion by 2033, recording a CAGR of 5.5%. High solubility and ability to form an elastic gel at high temperatures of 80°C make it ideal for high-temperature applications. Governments worldwide are increasingly taking action to improve nutritional value in food products.
Acute and chronic malnutrition, as well as vitamin and mineral deficiencies, damage the health, productivity, and development of about half of India’s children. Productivity, development, and health can all be negatively impacted by micronutrient deficits.
It is feasible to solve the problem by adding vitamins and minerals to everyday foods like rice, as well as by supplementing micronutrients and changing up diets. This has led to the fortification of rice, which has emerged as a sustainable & cost-effective measure for providing nutrition to people globally. The worldwide food and beverage sector is anticipated to expand as more fortified rice with high acyl levels is used in milk products, plant-based protein drinks, fruit juices, and other beverages. High-acyl-fortified rice is also used as a suspension element for milk products, plant-based protein drinks, and fruit juices.
“Due to the sustainable and cost-effective measures, manufacturers are taking measures to provide nutrition to the population, the global fortified rice market is witnessing vibrant growth.” – says a lead analyst at Future Market Insights.
