The botanical supplements market is witnessing strong growth due to growing health wellness trend
The botanical supplements are fast replacing the animal proteins, vitamins, and minerals in pharmaceuticals. The pharmaceutical industry is today witnessing a boom in the sales of botanical supplements that are derived from plant extracts.
Growing health awareness among the consumer due to the rising health wellness trend is driving the growth of the botanical supplements market. Increasing consumption of supplements for treating anxiety issues and insomnia is again contributing to the market growth. Moreover, the easy availability of these supplements over the counter due to shifting consumer preferences towards self-medication is also projected to favor market growth. The rise in the geriatric population is increasing the prevalence of various chronic diseases which is further propelling the demand for botanical supplements. According to the World Health Organization, by 2050, the world's population aged 60 years and older is expected to total 2 billion, up from 900 million in 2015.
From the geographical point of view, North America is projected to gain significant growth over the forecast period and this is attributed to the high prevalence of disease coupled with the growing demand for herbal products. According to the National Health Council, chronic diseases affect approximately 133 million Americans, representing more than 40% of the total population of this country.2 By 2020, that number is projected to grow to an estimated 157 million, with 81 million having multiple conditions.
