Increasing awareness for health and wellness among people and the desire to maintain a healthy lifestyle coupled with growing demand for dietary supplements as a common athletic diet would boost market expansion in years to come. Nutraceuticals can be available in the form of tablets, capsules, liquid, powder, and gummies.

Growing technical progress in the nutraceuticals sector is anticipated to have a favorable impact on customer demand. The market's increasing innovation has prompted the adoption of AI, which will allow for more individualized solutions based on a consumer's dietary and health information. AI will thus play a crucial role in the expansion of the global nutraceuticals market.

Deciphering the molecular pathways of ageing that are common in several species has advanced greatly, and this knowledge is helpful in developing anti-aging therapies.
