By target nutrient, the biofortification market has been segmented into iron, zinc, vitamins, and others, such as â-carotene, amino acids, and proteins. The iron segment is estimated to account for the largest share in 2018. Iron is a micronutrient, which is required by plants in lesser amounts than primary or secondary micronutrients. It is a constituent of several enzymes and some pigments, and assists in nitrate and sulfate reduction and energy production within the plant.

By crop type, the sweet potatoes segment accounted for the largest market in the market in 2018. The demand for biofortified crops such as sweet potato and cassava has increased with the rising technological advancements to increase the nutrient content, particularly in orange-fleshed sweet potato (OFSP). Sweet potato is recognized as an important source of energy in the human diet for centuries owing to its high carbohydrate content. However, its vitamin A content from carotene only became recognized over the past century.
Regionally, Asia Pacific is the dominant region in the biofortification market. Biofortification has strong growth potential in agriculture, and it also improves the nutrition content in food. Countries such as India and China are agrarian in nature and have consequently improved the opportunities for use and potential for biofortification.
