Government leveraging nutritional premixes to diminish cases of malnutrition and ‘hidden hunger’ globally:

The population of undernourished people with chronic food deprivation witnessed an upsurge from 804 million in 2016 to 821 million in 2017, according to the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Similarly, ‘hidden hunger’ is a global epidemic where people get sufficient calories, but miss out on imperative nutrients. WHO states that 2 billion people in both developed and developing economies suffer from vitamins and minerals deficiencies. As a consequence, WHO and FAO have detected food fortification among the top 4 strategies to be implemented for diminishing micronutrient malnutrition at the global level. Governments of several economies, both developed and developing such as Pakistan, United States, Middle East, and, Africa have partnered with international agencies and NGOs for the fortification of centrally-processed staple foods. The approach being affordable and viable is being imitated by 86 countries across the globe currently, and Vitamin A and iron are major constituents of these fortification processes. Such practices by governments and organizations is a major disruptive force for global vitamin and mineral premixes market growth. A classic example of such a case can be derived from India, a global leader in terms of population and 100th rank holder in Global Hunger Index & its initiative to address Malnutrition. An Indian state, Rajasthan is fortifying 4,500 metric tonnes of wheat flour, 8,900 metric tonnes of oil and 41,000 metric tonnes of milk per month via India Integrated Food Fortification Program, an undertaking of Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN). GAIN along with United States Agency for International Development, is also working in Afghanistan towards eradicating ‘hidden hunger’ by fortifying staple food and condiments. As a result of such initiatives, the percentage of fortified flour has increased by 18% from null. Such inventiveness at the international level towards implementing food fortification as a regular practice is proliferating vitamin and mineral premixes market demand.

From animal feed and dairy products to infant’s formula and geriatrics, vitamin and mineral premixes stands out as an integral fortifying ingredient:

Among numerous end-users in global vitamin and mineral premixes market, animal feed is estimated to be the fastest-growing segment progressing with an application CAGR of 4.4% up to 2025. Humongous demand for animal-based food products is pushing the output of animal farming sector, eventually nominating the application of vitamin and mineral premixes. According to FAO animal farming sector is responsible for 40% of the global agricultural production value. Moreover, global meat consumption is forecast to grow by 70% during 2000-2030 and 120% in the period of 2000-2050. Hence, intense growth in the animal farming sector and increasing consumption of meat globally is creating demand for nutritional feed premixes for livestock to enhance both quantity and quality of the supply. The growth in the global cattle feed market size that was evaluated to be $16 - $17 billion in 2018 is directly influencing global vitamin and mineral premixes market as a major growth driver.

Increasing demand for dairy products-

Apart from meat, the demand for milk is also adding further impetus to the application of premixes in the dairy-cattle farming industry. As per the International Dairy Federation, the consumption of dairy products is expected to increase by 25% between 2015 and 2024. Therefore, the dairy sector to match their production with increasing demand is augmenting the application of vitamins and minerals to augment the yield from livestock. Globally, there are around 150 million small-scale dairy households and tracing the demand for dairy products, and the figure is sure to escalate creating humongous demand for premixes. Apart from applications in feed for better productivity, finished dairy products also utilize vitamins and mineral premixes to the enhanced nutrient quotient of end-user products. Application of vitamin and mineral premixes also assist end-product manufacturers by making the production process economically efficient. For example, a single blend of premixes improves purchasing efficiency by minimizing the number of raw materials and vendors, reducing freight costs on individual ingredients. This distinctiveness of compound nutritional premixes is not only leveraged by the dairy products, but also manufacturers of bakery products, beverages, nutritional products, and dietary supplements. This is a major vitamin and mineral premixes market growth driver.

Nutritional premixes – Vital element in infant formulas-
