Folic acid, also known as vitamin B9, is a synthetic form of folate, a water-soluble vitamin essential for various bodily functions. It plays a crucial role in DNA synthesis, red blood cell production, and the metabolism of amino acids. Folic acid is commonly used as a dietary supplement to prevent or treat folic acid deficiency and certain medical conditions. One of the key characteristics of folic acid include its stability, solubility in water, and easy conversion into its active form, methyl tetrahydrofolate (MTHF), in the body. The key feature of folic acid is its importance during pregnancy. Adequate folic acid intake is crucial for the prevention of neural tube defects in the developing fetus. Folic acid finds application in various industries such as pharmaceutical and food and beverage.
The increasing prevalence of neural tube defects, such as spina bifida, represents one of the key factors driving the market growth. Since such deficiency facilitates the need for folic acid supplementation, this is influencing the market growth of folic acid. Moreover, the increasing focus on preventive healthcare and overall well-being is leading to a higher demand for nutritional supplements, which is contributing to the market growth. The steadily expanding geriatric population base, which is more susceptible to folic acid deficiency, as absorption and metabolism of folate can decline with age, this is driving the demand for folic acid supplements, thereby contributing to the market growth. In addition to this, rising incidences of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, certain types of cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders, are associated with low folate levels thereby, leading to the demand for folic acid supplements as a part of disease prevention and management strategies, which is propelling the market growth. Besides this, fortification of food products with folic acid is mandated in several countries. Coupled with this, the rising demand for fortified food and beverage products is contributing to the market growth of folic acid. Advancements in production technologies and processes make folic acid more accessible and cost-effective, thereby supporting the market growth. Other factors, such as favorable government initiatives and increasing number of public health campaigns, are creating a positive outlook for the market across the globe.
