Herbal supplements are plant-based substances believed to aid in maintaining or treating health. These supplements strengthen immunity without causing adverse effects and are particularly effective in relieving symptoms, especially when addressing allergies.
The primary forms of herbal supplements include tablets, capsules, liquids, powders, granules, and soft gels. Herbal tablet supplements are derived from plants, oils, roots, seeds, berries, or flowers, sold in tablet form to maintain health or address health issues. Herbal supplements sourced from leaves, fruits, roots, vegetables, and barks have applications in food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. They are distributed through store-based and non-store-based channels.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sudden escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the pharmaceutical sector. Companies are grappling with higher costs on imported active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), glass vials, and laboratory equipment-many of which have limited alternative sources. Generic drug manufacturers, already operating with minimal profit margins, are particularly affected, with some scaling back production of low-margin medications. Biotech firms are also experiencing delays in clinical trials due to shortages of specialized reagents linked to tariffs. In response, the industry is shifting API production to regions like India and Europe, building up inventory reserves, and advocating for tariff exemptions on essential medicines.

The herbal supplements market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $49.71 billion in 2024 to $53.25 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing consumer awareness, shift towards preventive healthcare, rise in lifestyle-related health issues, government initiatives and regulations.
The herbal supplements market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $69.59 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to continued consumer education, expanding aging population, global wellness trend, personalization and customization, market innovations and product diversity. Major trends in the forecast period include eco-friendly packaging solutions, cultural and traditional influences, collaborations and partnerships, rising demand for personalized nutrition.
The forecast of 6.9% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.4% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. The imposition of tariffs may challenge U.S. nutraceutical availability by increasing prices of ginseng root extracts and herbal capsule formulations sourced from South Korea and Brazil, exacerbating dietary supplement affordability issues and raising consumer health product expenses. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The herbal supplements market is witnessing significant growth due to the rising number of health-conscious consumers. Herbal supplements, known for their chemical-free and health-beneficial properties, are increasingly used to supplement diets and address common ailments. According to the International Food Information Council's 2022 food and health survey, Americans exhibit a strong interest in health-conscious practices, with 52% reporting adherence to a diet or eating pattern in the past year. The increasing prevalence of health-conscious individuals is expected to drive the growth of the herbal supplements market.
The herbal supplement market is expected to grow due to the rising geriatric population. The geriatric population consists of older adults, typically aged 65 or older, who often use herbal supplements to address various health concerns associated with aging. These supplements are sought for potential relief from age-related issues or to complement conventional treatments. According to the World Health Organization in October 2022, globally, 1 in 6 individuals would be 60 or older by 2030, and the geriatric population is expected to reach 2.1 billion by 2050. The rising geriatric population is a key driver for the growth of the herbal supplement market.
