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.
Tariffs are impacting the nutraceutical ingredients market by increasing costs of imported vitamins, probiotics, omega-3 oils, and specialty bioactive compounds. Manufacturers in North America and Europe are affected by higher raw material and formulation costs, while Asia-Pacific faces export pricing pressure. These tariffs are influencing product pricing and supply planning. However, they are also encouraging domestic ingredient production, regional sourcing, and innovation in alternative nutraceutical formulations.

The increasing demand for probiotics and protein-rich foods is expected to drive the growth of the nutraceutical ingredients market in the coming years. Probiotics and protein-rich foods include live microorganisms and foods with high protein content that are proven to deliver health benefits when consumed. Nutraceutical ingredients provide essential proteins and bioactive components required by the human body, and as interest in probiotics and high-protein diets rises, the demand for nutraceutical ingredients is also increasing. For example, in June 2024, the International Food Information Council (IFIC), a US-based non-profit organization, reported that 54% of Americans continued to follow a specific diet or eating pattern over the past year. Interest in increasing protein intake rose from 59% in 2022 to 67% in 2023 and further to 71% in 2024. Additionally, about half of consumers aim to consume more fresh foods, which are widely regarded as healthier options. Consequently, the growing demand for probiotics and protein-rich foods is contributing to the expansion of the nutraceutical ingredients market.
Key players in the nutraceutical ingredients market are concentrating on the development of new ingredient ranges, such as excipients, to address challenges associated with moisture-sensitive nutraceutical and pharmaceutical formulations. Excipients are inactive substances incorporated into nutraceutical and pharmaceutical products to support processing and manufacturing. For instance, in November 2023, Roquette, a France-based food company, introduced three new excipients-Lycatab CT-LM, Microcel 103 SD, and Microcel 113 SD-specifically designed for moisture-sensitive nutraceutical and pharmaceutical ingredients. Lycatab CT-LM, part of Roquette's pre-gelatinized starch portfolio, functions as a multifunctional filler, binder, and disintegrant with an extremely low water activity of no more than 0.1%. Microcel 103 SD and Microcel 113 SD, from Roquette's microcrystalline cellulose range, provide consistent particle size distribution with water activity levels not exceeding 0.2% and 0.1%, respectively, making them suitable for hard tablet manufacturing and ensuring stability throughout the product's shelf life.
