Nutraceutical Ingredients Market by Product Type (Vitamins, Amino Acids, Probiotic, Minerals), Derivation Method, Form (Liquid), Application (Functional Food, Functional Beverages, Animal Nutrition), End User, and Geography - Global Forecast to 2030

The Nutraceutical Ingredients Market is slated to register a CAGR of 7.1% from 2023–2030 to reach $317 Billion by 2030. The popularity of nutraceutical ingredients is rising due to changing lifestyles and the growing veganism trend, innovations in nutraceutical products, growing venture investments in nutraceutical companies, increasing incidence of chronic and infectious diseases and growing use of nutraceutical ingredients in food & beverage products which positively impacts the demand for nutraceutical ingredients.

The Nutraceutical Ingredients Market is driven by growing demand for these ingredients in fortified food and food and beverage products, a rise in non-communicable chronic diseases, and the increasing use of nutraceutical ingredients in animal nutrition. However, the high cost of nutraceutical products and consumers' misbeliefs is expected to restrain the growth of this market to some extent.

Growing Demand for these Ingredients in Fortified Food and Beverage Products

Consumers are becoming increasingly concerned about their health and paying more attention to their lifestyles and dietary habits. The global demand for healthy & nutrition-rich diets is rising with the growing world population. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), in 2050, the global demand for food, particularly nutrient-rich, will be twice as compared to 2013.

In recent years, consumer awareness regarding health, nutrition-rich diets, calorie reduction, and food safety has grown globally, which is expected to transform the food & beverage sector and boost the growth of the fortified food market.

Furthermore, the incidence of anemia caused due to iron deficiency has increased significantly and is expected to increase in the coming years. The increasing cases of anemia may result in millions of women facing poor health and quality of life and impaired development and learning in children. Anemia is an indicator of both poor nutrition and poor health. According to World Health Organization (WHO), in 2019, 29.9% of women suffered from anemia worldwide, and about 60.2% of children were affected by anemia in 2019.

Moreover, nearly 462 million adults are underweight. In 2020, 149 million children under 5 were estimated to be short for age, 45 million were estimated too thin for height, and 38.9 million were overweight or obese. Around 45% of deaths among children under 5 years of age are due to undernutrition [Source: World Health Organization (WHO]). Thus, the increasing cases of deficiency of nutrients and increased consumer interest in nutrition and health are expected to boost the demand for healthy & nutrition-rich diets, subsequently driving the demand for nutraceutical ingredients used in food and beverage products.

Moreover, consumers are increasingly spending on value-added food categories to maintain healthier lifestyles, boosting the sales of fortified foods and nutritional food and beverage products. Increasing awareness among people regarding strengthening their immunity to prevent risks of infections has compelled them to maintain healthy lifestyles and adopt proper dietary habits. These factors are expected to drive the growth of this market across the globe.
