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 sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the information technology sector, especially in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Increased duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have driven up production and operating costs for tech companies, cloud service providers, and data centers. Firms that depend on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are grappling with extended lead times and mounting pricing pressures. At the same time, tariffs on specialized software and retaliatory actions by key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and dampened foreign demand for U.S.-made technologies. In response, the sector is ramping up investments in domestic chip production, broadening its supplier network, and leveraging AI-powered automation to improve resilience and manage costs more effectively.

The forecast of 11.1% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.3% 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 on agricultural and botanical imports could drive up prices for Echinacea Extract, much of which is cultivated and processed in Eastern Europe and China. 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 increasing demand for dietary supplements is expected to drive the growth of the echinacea extract market in the future. Dietary supplements are designed to enhance the diet by supplying concentrated nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, herbs, or amino acids. This rising demand is fueled by growing health awareness and consumers' inclination toward preventive health measures. Echinacea extract is commonly used in nutritional supplements to bolster the immune system and potentially shorten the duration of colds and respiratory infections. For example, a survey conducted in October 2023 by the Council for Responsible Nutrition, a U.S.-based trade association for the dietary supplement industry, revealed that 74% of U.S. adults take dietary supplements. Additionally, confidence in the quality of sports nutrition supplements increased by 5 percentage points to 66% compared to 2022, while confidence in the weight management category rose by 4 percentage points to 56% from 2022. Hence, the growing interest in dietary supplements is set to stimulate the echinacea extract market.
Key players in the echinacea extract market are concentrating on developing herbal medicines and echinacea-based products, including anti-aging skincare technologies aimed at reducing wrinkles and sagging by enhancing skin plumpness and firmness. These anti-aging solutions, derived from echinacea extracts, target skin rejuvenation by stimulating fat production. For instance, in March 2024, Biocogent LLC, a U.S.-based provider of personal care and cosmetic products, introduced Volpura EPO. This technology, sourced from Echinacea purpurea, aids in combating aging signs by promoting the skin's natural plumping mechanisms, addressing wrinkles and sagging from within for a fuller, youthful appearance.

Versatile and stable at temperatures up to 85°C, Volpura EPO can be used in hot pour and hot cast products such as lipsticks, lip balms, and lip glosses.
