Botanical Supplements Market Drivers

Rise in Health Expenditure

During the pandemic, consumers became more health-conscious, leading to a preference for nutritious foods and beverages. This shift has resulted in a heightened demand for immunity-boosting supplements. As health concerns rise and chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and obesity become more prevalent, healthcare expenses have surged. According to the American Medical Association (AMA), health spending accounted for 17.3% of the country's GDP in 2022. Additionally, healthcare spending in the U.S. increased by 4.1% in 2022, totaling USD 4.5 trillion. As individuals prioritize their health, they are increasingly investing in products that promote well-being. Consequently, this rising healthcare expenditure is expected to drive growth in the botanical supplements market.

Growing Vegan and Vegetarian Population

In recent years, veganism & vegetarianism have seen significant growth, driven by increasing consumer awareness of health, environmental issues, and animal welfare. Additionally, vegan diets are becoming more popular among consumers. According to The Vegan Society, in 2023, approximately 700,000 individuals participated in the Veganuary campaign, which encourages people to eat only vegan foods during January. This marks an increase from 692,000 participants in 2022, 582,000 in 2021, and 400,000 in 2020.

Botanical supplements are gaining popularity among the vegan population due to their sustainable and naturally sourced ingredients. Many traditional supplements are derived from animal products or their byproducts, which raises concerns for vegans, particularly regarding vitamin B12 deficiency, as this vitamin is primarily found in animal sources. Botanical supplements can help fill these nutritional gaps, making them an appealing option for vegans seeking to maintain optimal health. As the number of vegans and vegetarians continues to rise, the demand for botanical supplements is expected to increase, driving growth in this market.

Consequently, the growing awareness of health and wellness is expected to create significant growth opportunities for players in the botanical supplements market in the coming years.
