- Growing consumer preference for fortified food products and health-oriented diets is influencing manufacturers to incorporate nucleotides into food formulations
- Nucleotides are gaining attention for their role in enhancing gut health, boosting immunity, and supporting metabolic processes, making them increasingly desirable in medical nutrition and elderly dietary solutions
- North America dominated the food nucleotides market with the largest revenue share in 2024, driven by increased demand for nutritional additives in infant formula and functional foods, as well as high consumer awareness about health and wellness
- Asia-Pacific region is expected to witness the highest growth rate in the global food nucleotides market, driven by expanding food and beverage industries, rising health consciousness, and supportive government initiatives promoting food fortification and infant nutrition across countries such as China, Japan, and India.
- The meats segment held the largest market revenue share in 2024, primarily due to its rich natural nucleotide content, especially in organ meats such as liver. Manufacturers in the functional food and infant formula sectors are increasingly sourcing nucleotides from meat extracts due to their high concentration and bioavailability. Furthermore, meat-based nucleotides are preferred in applications requiring immune and digestive health support
