Drivers: Increase in consumption of nutritive convenience and fortified food

The global demand for fortified food is expanding at a robust pace. Functional food ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, hydrocolloids, prebiotics, amino acids, plant extracts, and carotenoids are the key ingredients of fortified food. The health-conscious population is rapidly expanding in emerging markets, which will drive the demand for the fortification of food. The nutritional consumption differences across regions contribute greatly to the apparent differences in the health of populations across the countries. Various factors such as increasing instances of chronic diseases and micronutrient deficiencies, growth of the middle class in emerging economies, new government fortification programs, growth of the world’s older population in regions such as Europe, and growing interest in health and wellness, owing to COVID-19, is expected to drive the sales of fortified foods, further driving the demand for functional food ingredients.

Plant source is projected to be the fastest-growing segment in the natural source segment from 2021 to 2026

Prebiotics, proteins, omega-3 fatty acids, minerals, fibers, phytochemicals, and plant extracts are the major types of functional food ingredients derived from plant sources. Plant-based proteins are a major source of protein for vegetarians and vegans. Their high nutritional profile, low carbon footprint, and low price are driving their consumption. Soy, corn, pulses, millet, sorghum, sunflower seeds, wheat, groundnuts, barley, and beans are some of the major plant-based sources that are rich in amino acid content. The growing inclination of consumers toward natural and plant-based products has been fueling the demand for plant-based food amino acids over the last few years. Phytochemicals are also derived from plant sources such as fruits & vegetables, nuts & seeds, and spices & herbs, among others.

The energy drinks segment in the beverages application is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Functional food ingredients such as vitamins, minerals, and proteins are used in energy drinks. Many energy drinks have been developed by companies to provide specific medical or health benefits, such as promoting heart health, improving immunity, and helping to boost energy. With the broadening range of functional applications being sought by consumers, suppliers are looking to utilize new ingredients that better meet the functional goals of consumers. In the sports drink field, suppliers are expanding their choice of ingredients to enhance sports nutrition benefits. Drinks with creatines and branch-chained amino acids are growing in popularity.
