The market is witnessing remarkable growth driven by novel extraction techniques like Fytosan. With consumers increasingly inclined towards alternative medicine and convenience food, demand for dietary supplements and functional food products is soaring. These extracts, rich in nutrients and antioxidants, offer solutions for deficiency diseases such as anaemia, scurvy, and rickets. However, supply chain disruptions and fluctuations in raw material prices pose challenges for manufacturers. Nevertheless, the market continues to expand, with cosmetic stores and food applications embracing immunity-boosting herbal dietary supplements and functional beverages for weight loss and blood sugar regulation.

The incidences of chronic diseases and increasing demand for non-traditional drug sources are notably driving market growth. The prevalence of chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes, and autoimmune diseases is increasing due to increased environmental pollution and sedentary lifestyles, leading to rising annual mortality rates. The increasing incidence of chronic diseases has increased the need for new treatments. The CDC estimated that about 1.5 million new cancer cases are diagnosed, and about 500,000 people die from the disease each year.
Furthermore, medicines from plant extracts are also called photo drugs. These products contain one or more herbal substances as active ingredients, as compared to synthetic drugs containing chemically active substances. They consist of abundant natural products that activate or modulate target systems in organisms. Therefore, the potential for chronic diseases will increase the demand for new treatments from non-chemical sources, contributing to the market growth during the forecast period.
The growing applications in the beverage industry are a key trend influencing market growth. The demand for plant extracts in the F and B industries is driven primarily by health and well-being awareness, a trend toward natural products, and recognition in developing countries of the benefits of plants as food ingredients. The global market for brewing enzymes is witnessing an increase in production capacity. The market for brewing enzymes in China and India is developing rapidly with a continuous increase in production capacity. The supply and consumption of brewing enzymes are expected to increase over the next decade.
Further, the growing demand for new beer flavors is also driving the use of plant extracts as functional beer additives. Botanical extracts are used in soft drinks of lavender and chamomile, rosehip, and lemon verbena, known for their relaxing properties. This product contains L-Theanine, an amino acid that aids in relaxation, along with chamomile, passion flower, Rhodiola, and lemon balm. Botanical extracts are widely found in green tea and their derivatives. This is because green tea extract is a great source of antioxidants and other health benefits. It is expected to drive the global botanical extract market during the period.
The high price of products is challenging market growth. The botanical extract market is characterized by the presence of a significant number of players. Only big companies such as BASF, Kerry, and DowDuPont can afford to use technology and sophistication to maintain the highest quality. These large companies secure discoveries by supporting research and development efforts and patenting their products. This will increase the cost of plant extracts for the F and B industries, thereby increasing the price of the product. In regions with high disposable income, this will not have a significant impact on the market.
However, it impacts consumer behavior in developing countries where disposable income is low and cost-sensitive. As a result, consumers in developing regions often avoid using plant extracts. Instead, they use medium to low-quality products or substitute alternatives such as synthetic ingredients. Therefore, fluctuations in the prices of herbs and spices are likely to impede the growth of the focus market during the forecast period.
