Premix market growth is being driven primarily by rising demand for fortified foods. Increasing demand for food fortification due to an increase in micronutrient deficiency illnesses among the worldwide population and a shortage of micronutrients in food is driving food premix market expansion. The increased use of nutrient premixes in the preparation of newborn nutrition as a result of rising customer demand for nutritional fortification of infant formula is fueling market expansion. The high costs associated with food fortification techniques for large-scale food manufacturing are expected to stymie the expansion of the food premix industry. Food fortification necessitates sophisticated technology, which many producers outsource manufacturing of premix, which raises the production cost. As a result, the high cost of food fortification is projected to stifle market expansion.
According to Coherent Market Insigths, Global Food Premix Market was valued at US$ 1.6 Billion in 2021 in terms of revenue, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period (2022 to 2030).
