The nutraceuticals market size is projected to reach US$ 895.76 billion by 2031 from US$ 500.77 billion in 2023. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 7.5% during 2023–2031. The plant-based and organic nutraceuticals are likely to bring new trends into the market during the forecast period.
The rising health consciousness among people, owing to the increasing prevalence of obesity, diabetes, and other diseases, are among the major factors driving the nutraceuticals market. The preference for an active lifestyle favors the market growth in North America. The rapidly progressing e-commerce industry drives the online sales of nutraceuticals, in turn contributing to the market growth.
Consumers in developed and some developing countries are highly attracted to functional products, mainly on account of the added health and wellness benefits. Nutraceuticals are associated with various medicinal and health benefits, such as to improve the function of the immune system, boost gut health, and others. Rising healthcare costs, coupled with the increasing geriatric population across the world, propels the adoption of various nutraceuticals such as dietary supplements, functional food and beverages, and sports nutrition products. Growing consumer focus on preventive health and health-promoting diets, and increasing instances of lifestyle-related disorders further add to the popularity of nutraceuticals.
The nutraceuticals market across the world is growing with significant investments by manufacturers in research & development, partnerships, and collaborations to launch innovative products to tap into unexplored market segments. In February 2022, PepsiCo's Rockstar Energy brand launched a "hemp-infused drink" in the US. The energy drink, branded "Rockstar Unplugged," contains hemp seed oil, vitamin B complex, spearmint, and lemon balm; moreover, the drink contains no sugar or calories. This product was made available in three flavors: blueberry, passionfruit, and raspberry-cucumber. Similarly, in March 2024, a dairy giant in Japan launched a milk beverage called "Meiji Eye and Sleep W Support," containing 7.5 mg of a functional ingredient—crocetin, which is a carotenoid derived from gardenia fruit and saffron. Owing to its small molecular weight, the drink can be easily absorbed into the body. Thus, the increasing product innovation by key market players worldwide is driving market growth.
Various nutraceutical manufacturers operating in Europe engage in collaborations to expand their customer base. For instance, in May 2024, DSM-Firmenich and Indena introduced dietary supplement solutions combining biotics and botanicals at Vitafoods Europe 2024, focusing on gut health, brain health, and healthy aging. In May 2024, Aliga Microalgae, a Danish food-tech company, acquired chlorella algae facilities in Holland, marking a move toward the commercialization of its chlorella algae products. With this acquisition, the company plans to scale up its production capacity of food ingredients and dietary supplements. Thus, the strategic development initiatives and continuous innovations by key market players propel the nutraceuticals market across the globe.
The emergence of e-commerce has significantly transformed the way people shop and spend their money. A positive change in the organized retail sector, a rise in the reach of smartphones and the internet, an upsurge in purchasing power, easy access to emerging technologies, and convenience provided by online retail shopping platforms from anywhere at any time are a few of the major factors bolstering the penetration of e-commerce worldwide. Consumers are becoming confident about purchasing various nutraceutical products online, moving from the traditional purchasing model to the home delivery service model. Moreover, online sales of nutraceuticals grew significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic due to the shutdown of physical stores and the government's imposition of social restrictions. As lockdowns constrained people's movement and compelled them to stay home, there was a substantial inclination toward online shopping. With the increasing penetration of online shopping, manufacturers began selling products through direct-to-customer (D2C) channels by launching their online retail sites, thereby eliminating the need to invest in expensive marketing and distribution infrastructure. For instance, Herbalife International, Inc; Now Foods; and Quest Nutrition have their own retail channels. Thus, the increasing dependency on e-commerce services and the adoption of the D2C strategy by manufacturers are expected to create lucrative opportunities for the nutraceuticals market growth in the coming years.
