Innovations such as microencapsulation technology enhance stability, reduce metallic taste, and improve absorption rates, making products more consumer-friendly. A notable trend is the increasing demand for clean-label and fortified food products, driven by health-conscious consumers and regulatory support for addressing nutritional deficiencies. Overall, the market benefits from growing awareness about anemia prevention, urbanization, and a shift toward functional foods, positioning iron powders as an essential ingredient in the evolving food industry.
