The Growth of the Nutraceutical Industry
The world of nutraceuticals is constantly growing and changing to address the dietary and health trends that are influencing consumer markets. Significant drivers for the rapid growth include globalization and urbanization, consumer awareness about healthy lifestyle and overall wellbeing, as well as proactive nutritional approaches in controlling non-communicable chronic diseases.
The nutraceutical industry has been largely unimpeded by the pandemic and has actually thrived in spite of it. Consumer interest has positioned vitamins, probiotics and other forms of nutraceuticals at the heart of home health care.
Globally, nutraceuticals are becoming more important as they become part of consumers’ daily diets. The industry is on the rise, with the global market expected to soar over the next decade.
A new market study published by Global Industry Analysts Inc., recently released its report titled “Nutraceuticals – Global Market Trajectory & Analytics“. The report estimates the 2022 global market for nutraceuticals to be worth about US$330.6 billion – a figure that’s projected to reach US$441.7 billion by 2026.
Manufacturers are ready with high-quality ingredients that bolster product innovation and require high-quality equipment in order to safely process their products and bring them to market.
