Food fortifying agents are nutrients added to food products to enhance their nutritional value and address dietary deficiencies. These agents include vitamins, minerals, amino acids, proteins, dietary fibers, and functional ingredients. Food fortification is widely adopted to combat micronutrient deficiencies, improve public health outcomes, and support functional and wellness-oriented food products.

The market is driven by rising awareness of nutrition-related health issues, government-backed fortification programs, and increasing demand for functional foods and beverages. Food fortifying agents are extensively used in cereals, dairy products, bakery items, infant nutrition, beverages, and dietary supplements.
