Nutraceuticals are food-based supplements that can also be used for therapeutic purposes. Because they are manufactured from food materials and extracts, these products are also known as bioceuticals. Nutraceuticals products are available in a variety of forms and are utilized for a wide range of purposes. These products are unregulated in several parts of the globe because they are considered food supplements or additives. The demand for nutraceuticals is steadily expanding. The key cause for the rise in demand for nutraceuticals is a growing knowledge of the health advantages associated with the use of nutraceuticals and nutraceutical supplements.
Furthermore, a growth in athletes' participation in sports at the national and international levels is predicted to enhance demand for functional beverages. The functional food industry is being driven by a growing urbanized population, increased spending on health-related products, and an increase in cardiovascular, chronic, and obesity-related diseases. Functional foods are high in omega fatty acids, which aid in weight management and blood circulation control in the body.
ver the forecast period, rising healthcare expenses, along with an increasing worldwide elderly population, are expected to aid the overall nutraceuticals market growth. Consumers have a very favorable attitude toward functional foods, owing to the additional health and wellness benefits that these products provide. The overall growth has been assisted by the rising older population; rising healthcare costs, changing lifestyles, food innovation, and expectations regarding higher prices.
Because starting a Nutraceuticals production business is relatively simple, the Nutraceuticals market has a strong presence of regional companies. Many types of Nutraceuticals have gained a lot of attention in recent years, resulting in a flood of low-quality Nutraceuticals items on the market. The correct type of nutraceuticals product has no negative effects on the consumers' health.
Impact of COVID 19
The demand for nutritional supplements and functional foods has risen dramatically in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak. Over the last year, immune-boosting supplements have become more mainstream, resulting in major changes in purchasing patterns and consumer behaviour. Furthermore, following the COVID-19 pandemic, various preventive healthcare measures like nutritional supplements are becoming popular. As a result, the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic has cleared the road for nutraceuticals to establish a prominent presence in the market.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant and positive impact on the global economy. According to estimates, demand for products that promise to improve health and immunity has skyrocketed. The widespread dissemination of medical advice encouraging people to include functional foods and dietary supplements into their everyday lives to help their immune systems considerably adds to the widespread use of these goods.
Increased consumer awareness of the benefits of taking health supplements, expanding awareness of preventative healthcare measures, and a growing number of affluent and health-conscious customers are driving the industry's rise.
Market Growth Factors
Rising health consciousness among people would lead to high demand for fortified food products
According to a survey performed by the International Food Information Council (IFIC), 87 percent of consumers in the United States agreed that certain foods provide health advantages beyond their basic nutrition in 2009, and 89 percent agreed in 2011. This reflects the growing interest among consumers in learning more about functional and fortified foods. Health issues are rising, and health awareness is expanding among Canadian consumers, according to the Business Development Bank of Canada in 2013, and will continue to accelerate as the aging population, with 25% of the people above the age of 65 by 2031. According to a study done by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs in 2013, the ageing population, together with rising chronic disease rates, has resulted in an increase in chronic disease incidences.
Product and technological advancements in nutraceuticals industry
Customized medical technologies are quickly being implemented by nutraceutical ingredient manufacturers in order to create better-suited and tailored end products for consumers. Consumer goods firms are progressively gathering data to enable accurate analysis of purchasing behavior and lifestyle in order to present customers with customized solutions based on their preferences. For example, Tesco announced in 2013 that it would utilize its Clubcard data to track numerous chronic ailments that consumers are aware of in order to provide customized solutions to enhance healthier eating habits. This information not only helps consumer companies develop individualized nutritional recommendations, but it also helps pharmaceutical companies forge important collaborations to assist personalize over-the-counter supplements.
Market Restraining Factors
Huge cost of nutraceutical products
Functional foods and beverages, pharmaceuticals, animal nutrition, and personal care products are just a few of the applications for nutraceutical components. The addition of nutraceutical ingredients to food and beverage products, feed products, pharmaceuticals, and personal care items, however, raises the pricing of these end products. As a result, lesser acceptance of such products occurs, which would restrict the adoption of the nutraceutical products across the world. Since consumers have been more careful about eating the right foods, there has been a rise in demand for healthier alternatives to consumables in recent years.
When nutraceutical components are added to any type of food or beverage product, functional food and beverages are created, which provide a health benefit in some way. There are many people with medium or low-income level, who would restrict themselves from the adoption of such nutrient-enriched products and hence, hindering the growth of the nutraceuticals market over the forecast period.
