The dry form of vitamin B3 accounted for the major market share in the vitamin B3 market. The increased demand for the fortification of food and feed products with B3 vitamin has encouraged major vitamin B3 manufacturers such as Lonza Group and DSM to expand their production capacities through the establishment of manufacturing plants in key demand markets such as China. These factors, along with the easy availability of vitamin B3 for use in various applications, have accelerated the growth of this segment.
The feed grade segment is projected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2020 and 2025
