Nutraceutical Ingredients Market

Nutraceutical Ingredients Market: Overview

The market size for nutraceutical ingredients was USD 164.2 billion in 2021, and it is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.7 percent during the forecast period. The primary increasing consumer demand for nutraceuticals such as probiotics, prebiotics, and vitamins is predicted to drive growth in the global nutraceutical ingredients market. The nutrients found in nutraceuticals are obtained from plants, animals, and microorganisms and provide food with extra nutritional value. Unlike conventional products, these products are gluten-free and contain no artificial colors or flavors.

Due to the rising popularity of homeopathic remedies, preventive medicines, and self-treatment, the demand for nutraceuticals has increased, including cranberry, garlic, ginseng, and ginkgo biloba extracts. Aside from traditional ingredients like vitamins, minerals, and proteins, nutraceutical products have also incorporated plant sterols, polyphenols, probiotics, and fatty acids. For example, in March 2016, PepsiCo launched 7UP Revive, a hydrotonic drink containing nutraceuticals such as vitamins and electrolytes to rehydrate and refresh consumers. In addition, a variety of functional foods can be found in household and restaurant kitchens daily, either directly or indirectly. Restaurants, for example, can use nutraceutical ingredients to specify cranberries in desserts or cocktails

Nutraceutical Ingredients Market: COVID-19 Impact

In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, immune-boosting supplements like vitamins became more popular. The COVID-19 pandemic had already infected more than 230 million people by October 2021.

The nutraceutical market is experiencing a positive impact mainly due to the key role of various ingredients in immune system health. For instance, the benefits of probiotics, in particular, were hailed as an effective supplementary method for tackling the virus. For instance, probiotic products have been selling well in Japan under the COVID-19 outbreak. According to Yakult Honsha, year-on-year sales of Yakult branded probiotic products increased by 11.5% in March and 10.3% in April 2020.
