Food Premix Market Segment Analysis – by Ingredients:

Food Premix Market based on the ingredients can be further segmented into Amino Acids, Antibiotics, Vitamins, Minerals, Nucleotide Premix and Others. The Vitamin segment accounted for the largest Global Food Premix market share in 2021. This is mainly owing to the growing vitamin deficiencies all around the world. Most health authorities have cited vitamin insufficiency as their top health concern. For instance, the Bio station study in 2020 states that approximately 80% of Americans are vitamin E deficient and 90% of Americans of color are vitamin D deficient. Similar to this, 76% of Indians in 2019 have vitamin D deficiency. The most support is given to items that are fortified with premixes of the required vitamins. However, the Antibiotics segment is poised to grow with the fastest CAGR of 9.3% in the forecast period 2022-2027. Premixed antibiotics have shown wide-spectrum benefits in the management of human disease, which is primarily responsible for the Global Food Premix market size. First off, the medicine falls under the ready-to-use category, removing the possibility of mixing at the pharmacy level as well as the time and potential errors associated with compounding. Additionally, items are produced using FDA cGMP procedures, reducing the potential of mistakes and contamination.

Food Premix Market Segment Analysis – by Form:

Food Premix Market based on the form can be further segmented into Powder and Liquid. The powder segment held a dominant Global Food Premix market share in the year 2021 and is poised to grow with the fastest CAGR of 6.9% in the forecast period 2022-2027, which is majorly owing to its ease of use. In food products like flour, dietary supplements and other widely consumed food items proteins, nucleotide, vitamin and mineral premixes provide consistency. Additionally, the increased demand for these food items especially with ingredients such as nucleotide and amino acids supports the growth of the market for powdered food premixes. Infant formula, clinical nutrition, fortification of nutritional drinks and other goods including sports nutrition and nutritional drinks for athletes all use nucleotide premixes and protein-based premixes. Additionally, dairy products like yogurt, fortified milk, powdered milk and other dairy products employ nucleotides as well as amino acids and minerals in the premix. Owing to its greater advantages over its liquid version, such as affordability, efficient packing, stability and flexibility, food premixes are frequently used in powdered form.

Additionally, rising per capita disposable income, along with expanding health awareness and rising consumption of nutritious foods and dietary supplements is fueling Global Food Premix market share expansion.

Food Premix Market – Drivers

The increasing popularity of fortified foods has paved the way for advanced nutrient premixes:

Consumers are very willing to pay a price premium for meals that are protein-fortified, according to the most recent poll done by taste and nutrition expert Kerry in November 2021. Around 75% of customers worldwide said they would be willing to pay more for foods and drinks with added protein. More than 50% of consumers worldwide are willing to pay a 10% premium, while an additional 15% are prepared to pay a 25% premium. This poll included more than 6,300 consumers from North American, European, Latin American and Asian-Pacific nations. The market expansion of food premixes is being driven by the increase in demand for fortified meals. The World Health Organization (WHO) has also included the reduction of anemia prevalence in women of reproductive age by 50% as one of the global targets for improving maternal, infant and young child nutrition, to be achieved by 2025 by implementing large-scale fortification along with other interventions that are crucial to achieving this global nutrition target. Thus the market for food premixes is being facilitated by the increasing emphasis on food fortification.

Growing Awareness of the Immunity-Boosting Benefits of a Healthy Diet is Driving the Market Growth:

One of the main drivers propelling the market's expansion is the growing customer interest in the product as well as a better understanding of the immunity-boosting benefits of a healthy diet and eating habits. Consumers are including bioactive food components like omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, probiotics, amino acids and others into their meals to maintain optimum health. Urbanization and higher income levels are also linked to a way of life that requires less daily exercise and gives more access to meals with higher caloric content. According to the International Food Information Council's 2020 Food and Health Survey, COVID-19 has led to changes in eating or food preparation habits for 8 out of 10 American consumers. Furthermore, 25–30% of all grocery shoppers in the US and Europe are health-conscious, according to a Moneydasher report from 2021 which is boosting the Global Food Premix industry growth.

Food Premix Market – Challenge

The High Cost of Food Premixes is Hindering the Market Growth in Emerging Economies:

The expense of premix was listed by 75% of respondents as one of the top three challenges to guarantee fortification quality and compliance in the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) study from 2020. (the highest percentage of all barriers reported). In situations where fortified foods have not yet become commonplace, there is a limited capacity to effectively estimate product demand and premix demands, particularly for small and medium-sized producers. In order to balance the risk of a stock-out with the risk of premix expiration, some producers struggle to finance an upfront premix purchase. In order to meet increased expenses for raw materials, energy and logistics, DSM Nutritional Products is doubling its efforts and raising the pricing of its food- and pharmaceutical-grade vitamins, premixes and citric acid. Additionally, businesses like BASF have raised the cost of their vitamins by 10 to 15 percent. This, when taken together, is hindering the Global Food Premix industry's growth.
