According to this latest publication from Meticulous Research®, the mental-care & nootropic ingredients market is projected to reach $12.7 billion by 2035, at a CAGR of 9.6% from 2025 to 2035. The growth of the mental-care & nootropic ingredients market is driven by the growing prevalence of mental health disorders and stress-related conditions, increasing consumer awareness of cognitive health and preventive mental wellness, rising demand for natural and plant-based solutions, expanding clinical validation and regulatory acceptance of mental wellness claims, and the growing integration of nootropic ingredients into functional beverages and foods. However, the market growth is restrained by regulatory variability and claim restrictions across markets, limited clinical evidence for some emerging ingredients, and quality control and standardization issues.

Moreover, the expanding research on the gut-brain axis and psychobiotic innovation, along with the rising adoption of personalized nutrition approaches for cognitive health are expected to generate growth opportunities for market stakeholders. Quality control and standardization issues, and supply chain challenges pose challenges to the growth of the market. Additionally, the gut-brain axis and psychobiotic innovation, and functional beverage expansion and nootropic coffee alternatives are prominent trends in the mental-care & nootropic ingredients market.

The key players profiled in the mental-care & nootropic ingredients market report are Sabinsa Corporation (U.S.), Arjuna Natural Pvt. Ltd. (India), Ixoreal Biomed Inc. (India), Natreon Inc.

The mental-care & nootropic ingredients market is segmented by Ingredient Type, Function, Application, and Distribution Channel. The report also evaluates industry competitors and analyzes the market at the regional and country levels.

Among the ingredient types studied, the botanical extracts and adaptogens segment led the mental-care and nootropic ingredients market in 2025 with a share of 32.4%. The rising consumer preference for natural and plant-based solutions for managing stress, improving cognition, and enhancing emotional well-being plays a big role in this trend. Additional factors include increasing scientific support for traditional adaptogenic herbs like ashwagandha, rhodiola, ginseng, and lion's mane mushroom, the growing acceptance of Ayurvedic and traditional medicine practices worldwide, and the clean-label trend favoring botanical ingredients over synthetic ones.

Among the functions studied, the stress and anxiety relief segment dominated the mental-care and nootropic ingredients market in 2025, accounting for 26.1%. The widespread effect of chronic stress on today's populations is a major factor. More consumers prefer natural, non-drug methods for managing stress. The COVID-19 pandemic also led to a 25% rise in anxiety and depression cases globally. Clinical studies show that adaptogenic ingredients can help control cortisol levels and support healthy stress responses.

Among the applications studied, the dietary supplements segment is forecasted to lead the mental-care and nootropic ingredients market in 2025 with a 44.5% share. A well-established supplement industry infrastructure and high consumer awareness of cognitive health benefits are key drivers. People are increasingly choosing convenient, encapsulated formats that offer precise dosing and standardized ingredient concentrations. Brain health supplements are becoming one of the fastest-growing categories within the dietary supplements sector.

Among the distribution channels studied, the direct sales to manufacturers segment is anticipated to dominate the mental-care and nootropic ingredients market in 2025 with a share of 41.1%. This is due to the removal of intermediary costs and the ability to provide customized ingredient solutions that meet specific manufacturer needs. Strong relationships between major ingredient suppliers and large-scale nutraceutical and pharmaceutical manufacturers also contribute to this segment's leading position, along with benefits in customization and technical support.

Among geographies, in 2025, North America is anticipated to dominate the mental-care & nootropic ingredients market with a share of 33.5%. The large share of this regional market is attributed to factors such as high consumer awareness regarding cognitive health, well-established wellness culture, presence of major market players, supportive regulatory frameworks that facilitate product development and market access, strong consumer spending power, and robust health and wellness industry with approximately 60% of the adult population consuming dietary supplements in the region.

However, Asia-Pacific is projected to register the highest CAGR of 11.4% during the forecast period. Increasing urbanization, rising health consciousness among expanding middle-class populations, growing prevalence of mental health conditions, integration of traditional herbal knowledge with modern nootropic formulations, and substantial expansion of e-commerce platforms facilitating consumer access to cognitive health products are the key factors driving the market growth in Asia-Pacific.
