Canada nutraceuticals market is expected to witness a growth rate of 5.62% during the forecast period, 2019-2024.The rising demand for nutraceuticals with medical benefits is one of the major factors driving the nutraceuticals market growth. They contain antioxidants, probiotics, and polyunsaturated fatty acids, which help in managing health issues, like obesity, CVD, cancer, cholesterol, arthritis, and diabetes. The growing preference for personalized nutrition is one of the key nutraceuticals market trends, which may further stimulate market growth. The trend of personalized nutrition is growing particularly among individuals with gut-related medical conditions, where generic treatment is not effective. The biggest issue faced by nutraceutical companies operating in Canada is complying with the stringent health Canada regulations. Unlike the many countries throughout the world, Canada has very stringent regulations governing the sale of dietary supplements.
Key Market TrendsGrowing Efficacy of Functional Foods and their Botanical Active IngredientsAs Canadians age and face rising healthcare costs, many are considering the link between health and diet. The functional food (Nutraceutical) industry is seizing the opportunity with product innovation and market expansion. Canadian consumers are characterized by an inclination to a healthy lifestyle, privileging natural, organic and functional products that are friendly to the environment and in accordance with fair trade standards. Companies developing functional food products have begun marketing to specific demographics, such as the aging population, young adults, and mothers. Functional foods that attract aging consumers include cholesterol-reducing spreads, milk, and yogurt, while parents are interested in products that may benefit their children's health, such as omega-3 and DHA-enriched products for brain development are gaining popularity lately.
Advancement in Digestive Health ManagementThe nutritional food and supplement market space is exploding with growing consumer interest in foods containing bioactive compounds, which aid in preventing many diseases. Canada has remarkable growth potential in probiotics because of the high level of consumption of supplements and dairy products. Additionally, increasing concerns about preventive healthcare are driving market growth. In Canada, 13-20% of adults suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). The lifetime risk for a Canadian to develop IBS is 30%, other indications include Bacterial vaginosis (BV), Infectious Diarrhea (ID), and others. Awareness about the benefits offered by probiotics and the increasing spending power of consumers are the key drivers of the probiotics industry.
