Nutraceutical Excipients Market – Trends Forecast Till 2030

Market Snapshot

Market Overview

The global Nutraceutical Excipients Market size is projected to reach a CAGR of 7.3% from 2023-2030.

The word ‘nutraceutical’ is derived from nutritional and pharmaceutical which are also known as functional foods. They are generally utilized as a dietary supplement. They are known to provide protection against chronic disease and are beneficial for spine and joint problems. They are extensively consumed for extra nutrition. The nutraceutical is also used for methionine, olive oil, fish oil, denatured type II collagen and numerous other botanical extracts.

The rise in demand for fortified food products, increase in health consciousness among consumers and growing emphasis on preventive care is encouraging investments in products or solutions are the major factors driving the growth of the nutraceutical excipient market. The rise in the incidences of chronic diseases among consumers, deficiency of nutrition and growth in awareness regarding diseases and preventive care among the population accelerates the nutraceutical excipient market growth. The advancements in nanotechnology equipped with new features, the introduction of mandates on food fortification by government organizations and the rise in awareness regarding the health benefits of nutraceutical excipients further influence the nutraceutical excipient market. Additionally, increasing focus on preventive healthcare, change in consumer lifestyle, increase in disposable income, growth in food processing applications and surging healthcare expenditure positively affect the nutraceutical excipient market. Furthermore, the high use of excipients with multifunctional properties extends profitable opportunities to the nutraceutical excipient market players in the forecast period.

On the other hand, a decrease in returns on research and development investments and high costs associated with the clinical trials and registration are the factors expected to obstruct the nutraceutical excipient market growth. Consumer scepticism associated with nutraceutical products due to rural and semi-urban consumer perceptions on dietary is projected to challenge the nutraceutical excipient market in the forecast period.

Delvens Industry Expert's Standpoint

The nutraceutical excipients market is poised for significant growth in the coming years, driven by the increasing demand for nutraceutical products and the development of new excipient technologies. As consumers become more health conscious, they are turning to nutraceuticals as a way to supplement their diets and improve their overall health and wellness. The use of nutraceutical excipients is critical in the formulation of these products, allowing for improved stability, bioavailability, and other key properties.

The nutraceutical excipients market is also being driven by the development of new excipient technologies, such as nanotechnology and microencapsulation, which offer improved performance and functionality. These technologies are helping to address some of the key challenges in the development of nutraceutical products, such as poor solubility and stability.

Market Portfolio

Key Findings

• The form segment is further bifurcated into Dry and Liquid. The dry segment is estimated to account for the largest share of the market. The popularity of the dry form can be attributed to its cost-effectiveness and convenience in multiple applications. An increase in demand for dry beverage mixes with additional nutrients, including customized mixes and consumer preference for fortified beverages are fuelling the growth of the dry segment in the market.

• The functionality segment is further fragmented into Binders, Fillers, diluents, Disintegrants, Coating agents, Flavouring agents, Lubricants, and other functionalities. The binders segment is estimated to account for the largest share of the nutraceutical excipients market. The binder is increasingly being used by dietary supplement manufacturers since these excipients are formulated to act as an adhesive to “bind together” powders, granules, and other dry ingredients to impart the required mechanical strength. Binders can also help in adding volume to low-active dose tablets, resulting in producing effective tablets with appropriate actives by holding the ingredients together. In addition, some binders also act as fillers and diluents in an array of application products, namely magnesium stearate, which is used widely as a food and supplement additive. Due to factors such as versatility and vital importance in gaining product efficiency, binders are gaining traction and are witnessing a rise in consumption as an excipient in the nutraceutical industry.

• The end-user segment is further fragmented into Protein & amino acids, Omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamins, Minerals, Prebiotics, Probiotics, and other end products. The probiotics segment held the largest share of the market and is anticipated to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. Probiotics are yeast and good bacteria that are beneficial for consumers, as they enhance digestion and gut health, improve immunity, increase nutrient absorption, and lower the chances of food allergies. Probiotic products are offered in different forms, including yoghurt and drinks, and supplement forms such as tablets and capsules.
   
• The market is also divided into various regions such as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, and Middle East and Africa. North America dominated the global nutraceutical excipients market with the largest revenue share. The market in North America is dominating, owing to the concentration of global players such as DuPont (US), Kerry (Ireland), Cargill (US), and Ingredion (US). The market for nutraceutical excipients here is mature, and hence, the growth is moderate compared to other regions. Other factors contributing to the growth of nutraceutical excipients in the North American region include the busy lifestyle of consumers, the prevalence of chronic diseases due to hectic lifestyles, and an increase in awareness among consumers regarding the health benefits of nutritional foods, including food supplements, which has driven the demand for functional food products.
