On the basis of 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.

The sweet potato segment is estimated to hold the largest share of the biofortification 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 has been 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. Using biofortification, sweet potato breeding in Africa is focused on higher yields, sweeter taste, and higher dry matter, which increase its carotene concentration.
