Nutraceuticals Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Product (Dietary Supplements, Functional Foods, Functional Beverages), By Ingredient, By Application, By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2023 - 2030

Nutraceuticals Market Size & Trends

The global nutraceuticals market size was USD 291.33 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4% from 2023 to 2030. The primary factors driving the market growth are preventive healthcare, increasing instances of lifestyle-related disorders, and rising consumer focus on health-promoting diets. Additionally, increasing consumer spending power in high-growth economies is projected to contribute to the growing demand for nutraceutical products. The growing demand for dietary supplements and nutraceuticals is also attributed to consumer preferences shifting towards self-directed care in the treatment of lifestyle disorders such as cardiovascular disorders and malnutrition.

Nutraceuticals are associated with various medical and health benefits, which is driving their increased adoption among consumers globally. Rising healthcare costs, coupled with the increasing geriatric population across the world, are anticipated to assist the global nutraceutical industry growth over the forecast period. Consumers’ attitude is very positive towards functional foods mainly because of the added health and wellness benefits offered by these products. The rising geriatric population, increasing healthcare costs, changing lifestyles, food innovation, and expectations regarding higher prices have aided overall growth.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for dietary supplements and functional foods has soared. Immunity-boosting supplements have become mainstream over the past year, significantly changing buying patterns and consumer behavior. Moreover, after the COVID-19 pandemic, preventive healthcare measures such as dietary supplements will become a part of people’s everyday lives. Thus, the COVID-19 pandemic across the globe has paved the way for nutraceuticals to build a strong presence in the global market.

Growing technological advancements in the nutraceutical industry are projected to influence consumer demand positively. The growing innovation in the market has led to the adoption of AI, which will enable more personalized solutions based on a consumer's dietary and health data. Therefore, AI will be pivotal in the growth of the nutraceuticals industry globally.

Ingredient Insights

Based on ingredients, in 2022, probiotics held a dominant position in the market, accounting for a share of 26.47%. This is primarily attributed to changes in dietary patterns and consumer preferences for probiotic-based dairy foods and supplements owing to rising gut health awareness globally. Increasing gut health issues and food sensitivities have led to a positive outlook toward probiotic supplements. These supplements are further beneficial for immunity and preventive healthcare, which will likely drive its growth during the forecast period.

The probiotics segment is also projected to exhibit the fastest growth rate of 14.0% during the forecast period. The demand for probiotics is mainly attributed to their potential as health promoters and gut microbiota stabilizers. Manufacturers in the food and beverage industry are offering probiotics in different ready-to-drink formats, snacks, and cereals with strong promotion strategies. However, probiotic ingredients are most effective at cool temperatures, so refrigeration is needed throughout the distribution channel, which can possibly be a challenge to the growth of the probiotics segment.

Application Insights

In 2022, weight management and satiety segment dominated the market with a revenue share of 20.04% owing to the growing emphasis on fitness and nutrition. Health-conscious consumers are looking for a constant upgrade in their dietary patterns due to the working environment and socioeconomic changes. Rising demand for sports nutrition products due to increasing awareness of muscle improvement among athletes is expected to fuel the demand for nutraceuticals for weight management. This is likely to promote the demand for beverages such as energy drink-mix powders in the near future.

Weight management is one of the crucial application areas, wherein increasing obesity rates due to lifestyle changes has generated immense demand for dietary supplements. According to Trust for America's Health’s (TFAH), 19th annual report, 19 states in the U.S. had obesity rates over 35% in 2022, which was up from 16 states in 2021.

Product Insights

The functional foods segment dominated the market with a revenue share of 37.78% in 2022 and is expected to retain its dominance during the forecast period. Technological upgradation and product development progression are projected to drive the functional foods industry over the coming years. Sports drinks are gaining popularity among athletes and other individuals involved in energetic physical activities. The millennial generation drives the sports drinks market exponentially due to its high buying capacity, willingness to pay for health products, acute interest in sports, and growing inclination toward fitness activities.

Increasing adoption of new technologies such as microencapsulation is driving technological innovations in the functional foods industry. Microencapsulation technology helps in enhancing the taste of the final functional food item. For example, omega-3 fatty acids have an unpleasant odor. However, the fragrance and taste of these ingredients are enhanced with the use of encapsulation technology. This helps the product to be tastier and more appealing to the consumers. Such advancements in line with changing consumer preferences, are projected to drive the growth of functional food products.

Regional Insights

North America accounted for the largest revenue share of over 35.50% in 2022. The growing health concerns amongst consumers and increasing awareness regarding nutraceuticals are likely to be the major drivers of the North American market. Additionally, an increase in the aging population, spending patterns on healthcare products, and changing lifestyles have enhanced the growth of the nutraceutical industry in the region. Vast product portfolio and government regulations regarding nutraceutical products are a few factors that suppress this market. However, the growing trend of food fortification with nutraceutical products is anticipated to create a significant growth opportunity for this market.

Increasing healthcare costs in the U.S., recent regulations on functional food, and increased research and development on functional food are the key factors that are positively affecting the market. Moreover, improper dietary habits, long working hours, and a sedentary lifestyle contribute to poor health and associated healthcare costs. Healthcare accounts for approximately 14% of the U.S. economy's gross national product (GNP). Thus, the increasing cost of healthcare is forcing the U.S. population to opt for preventive healthcare, driving them to shift to dietary supplements and functional foods.
