"Regulatory support and collaborative efforts across public and private sectors in eradicating undernourishment fuels the demand for nutraceutical ingredients market."
In order to combat widespread deficiencies, governments and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are championing initiatives that highlight the significance of nutrition. Large-scale food fortification initiatives, for instance, have greatly increased the global adoption of fortified foods. These initiatives are supported by organisations such as PATH (Program for Appropriate Technology in Health). PATH's nutrient-fortifying rice kernels (UltraRice) initiative has proven scalable and effective in Burundi, India, Brazil, and other countries, impacting regulatory frameworks and nutritional policies. In addition to addressing nutritional deficiencies, these initiatives establish guidelines that promote the use of fortified ingredients in food processing.
Nutraceutical ingredients are becoming more and more popular in animal nutrition to improve feed formulations. Improved feed additives aim to enhance animal health, growth efficiency, and product quality, meeting the rising demand for high-quality protein sources globally.
Partnerships within the industry further accelerate market expansion. For instance, Olam Agri Holdings Pte Ltd has committed to fortifying staple foods with essential micronutrients at scale, so millions can be reached every day by 2030. Such initiatives promote the industry's dedication to sustainability and public health while accelerating the global uptake of fortified foods. The market is anticipated to grow further due to ongoing innovation, regulatory support, and cross-sector collaboration, solidifying nutraceutical ingredients' position as a key component of global health and wellness initiatives in the future.
"During the forecast period, the food for special medical purposes (FSMP) within the application segment is estimated to witness the highest CAGR in the nutraceutical ingredients market."
Food specially prepared to meet special, often disease- or medical-condition-related nutritional requirements of individuals is known as food for special medical purposes. The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and disorders, such as diabetes, gastrointestinal problems, metabolic syndromes, and others, has been the primary driver for the ever-growing demand for nutraceutical ingredients in FSMP. For instance, the IDF Diabetes Atlas for 2021 estimates that 1 in 10 adults worldwide, or 537 million adults aged 20 to 79, have diabetes at present. By 2030, this number is expected to rise to 643 million, and by 2045, it is expected to reach 783 million. Among the specific health benefits that nutraceutical ingredients provide to these patient populations are symptom management, improved nutritional intake, and support for overall health.
Moreover, the prevalence of food allergies and intolerances has heightened the need for specialized FSMP formulations that are free from allergens and tailored to individual dietary restrictions. This necessitates the addition of nutraceutical ingredients that are not only safe but have the efficacy to meet nutritional requirements without adverse reactions. Regulatory agencies, which provide support through developments in medical nutrition therapies, are also boosting this segment by ensuring that stringent health standards are met while allowing innovations in ingredient formulation.
"High healthcare costs driving demand for preventive healthcare have positioned the US in North America region as the dominant market in the nutraceutical ingredients market."
The US holds a dominant position in the North American nutraceutical ingredients market. There is a great need for preventive healthcare solutions due to the high cost of healthcare in the country. According to a piece by the PETER G. Peterson Foundation, US healthcare spending hit USD 4.5 trillion in 2022, or USD 13,493 per person, much more than in other wealthy countries. Due to such high healthcare costs, Americans are encouraged to spend money on nutraceutical ingredients and other preventive measures in order to maintain their health and lower their long-term medical costs.
A 2023 CRN Consumer Survey on Dietary Supplements stated that 74 percent of US adults take dietary supplements, with 55 percent among them taking them regularly. This simply indicates the importance of dietary supplements in promoting health in the nation. The desire for proactive health management in the face of rising healthcare costs and rising consumer awareness are the driving forces behind this widespread use. This growth is also supported by strong research and development activities and a very encouraging regulatory environment that allows innovation in health products. Businesses in the US are better able to develop and commercialize innovative nutraceutical ingredients because of their sophisticated infrastructure and highly qualified workforce.
Prominent companies include Cargill, Incorporated (US), ADM (US), International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. (US), BASF SE (Germany), Arla Foods amba (Denmark), Associated British Foods plc (UK), dsm-firmenich (Switzerland), Ingredion (US), Tate & Lyle (UK), Ajinomoto Co., Inc. (Japan), and Chr. Hansen A/S (Denmark).
