Fortified Rice Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034
Description
The global fortified rice market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.30% in the forecast period of 2025-2034. The major market drivers are increasing prevalence of micronutrition deficiencies and rising health consciousness among the general public.
Key Trends in the Market
Fortified rice is a type of rice that has enhanced nutritional values due to addition of various vitamins and minerals. Common micronutrients added to rice include vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B12, iron, folic acid, and zinc. Fortification of rice can take place in different ways, including drying and coating, and is a cost-effective means to increase the nutrients provided by rice.
The EMR’s report titled “Global Fortified Rice Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034” offers a detailed analysis of the market based on the following segments:
Market Breakup by Type Micronutrients
Drying accounts for a significant portion of the fortified rice market share by technology, driven by the cost-effectiveness and stability of the drying process. In drying, rice is soaked in a solution of nutrients mixed with a carrier substance and subsequently dried through methods such as drum drying or hot air drying. Soaking rice in nutrients evenly distributes the micronutrients throughout the rice while drying helps retain the nutrients. As drying is a relatively simple process and doesn’t require specialised equipment, it is a low-cost and effective means for fortifying large volumes of rice. Fortified rice prepared through drying technology is also easy to transport and store and nutrients are retained during cooking.
Market Share by Region
Regionally, the Asia Pacific occupies a sizable share of the global fortified rice market and is anticipated to witness continued growth in the coming years. Large populations in countries in the region such as China and India, and role of rice as a staple food in various cultural cuisines is increasing the demand for fortified rice in the region. Initiatives of governments in the region towards fortifying rice to improve the nutritional status of their populations and combat malnutrition are further encouraging the adoption of fortified rice. Growing importance of nutrition and increasing health consciousness are leading to more consumers turning to fortified rice while extensive rice cultivation provides a steady supply of raw materials, further aiding the regional fortified rice market.

Fortification of rice can take place in different ways, including drying and coating, and is a cost-effective means to increase the nutrients provided by rice.
- Rising awareness regarding the health risks of micronutrient deficiencies such as reduced productivity, restricted development of organs, and overall poor health are driving the fortified rice market growth. Particularly for children, fortified rice is an easy way to deliver micronutrients without requiring additional tablet or capsule supplements.
- Cultivation of rice in poor quality soil and land can lead to lowered nutritional values of the rice, which can be improved by the use of fortification. Accordingly various global organisations are encouraging rice fortification to combat poor nutritional values in rice, bolstering the market for fortified rice.
- Improvements in technologies for rice fortification and reduced costs of fortification are further surging the fortified rice market demand. Amidst rising disposable incomes and increasing accessibility and affordability of fortified rice, more consumers and foodservice providers are utilising fortified rice for their usual rice preparations and recipes.
