(Food-Beverage-News.Com, June 23, 2021 ) The global plant extracts market is expected to grow from USD 30.8 billion in 2021 to USD 55.3 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 6.0% from 2021 to 2026. The growth of the plant extracts market is driven by the rising demand for healthier lifestyle of consumers preferring more natural products. The increasing number of applications for plant extracts across products has helped establish a strong market for these products. Plant extracts have been used in pharmaceuticals, food, and cosmetics industries across the globe. However, recently, they have gained a lot of interest as they are relatively safer, with minimal side effects to health as compared to synthetic extracts. Hence, they are widely used as antimicrobials and anti-inflammatory drugs. In cosmetics, these extracts find applications as anti-aging reagents, hair oils, mouth wash, liniments, and dental care products.
The plant extracts market is highly fragmented; hence, there are numerous players in the market offering a wide range of plant extracts; the major plant extract manufacturers include Givaudan (Switzerland), Sensient Technologies Corporation (US), International Flavors & Fragrances, Inc (US), Kangcare Bioindustry Co., Ltd. (China), Synthite Industries Private Ltd. (India), and PT. Indesso Aroma (Indonesia). These players have focused on strategies such as new product launches and collaborations to gain a larger market share in the plant extracts market.
The novel coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic had significantly impacted almost all industries across the globe. This pandemic has resulted in mass production shutdowns and supply chain disruptions, which has also affected the economy as well.
This disease has a variable impact in different countries depending on their cultural norms, mitigation efforts, and health infrastructure, and each country is working its way out to fight against the pandemic. However, there are various research studies stating the use of medicinal plant extracts against coronavirus. Researchers are working on various medicinal plant extracts to fight COVID-19
In the current scenario, it has become important to boost the immunity to fight coronavirus, along with maintaining hygiene and following all medical advisories that have been laid down. Even the guidelines provided by World Health Organization (WHO) in its COVID-19 analysis suggest the world population consumes immunity-boosting foods. Hence, the demand for medicinal plant extracts carrying properties of boosting human immunity is at the surge in the pharmaceuticals & nutraceuticals industry.
The worldwide lockdown, however, has also affected farming practices, which has highly impacted the supply of raw materials of medicinal plant extracts. The COVID-19 impact on logistics also contributes to the increased prices of raw materials, which boosts the cost for medicinal plant extracts manufacturers. With barriers to cross-border transportation of commodities in this pandemic situation, manufacturers are highly dependent on local raw material suppliers, which increases the bargaining power of suppliers. Hence, the increased raw material prices, followed by high demand for medicinal plant extracts, would lead to an increased price of medicinal plant extracts for the next few years.
