As health consciousness continues to rise, people are increasingly demanding natural and safe foods. Consumers are not only concerned about the source and ingredients of food but also expect these products to bring health benefits. In this trend, plant extracts, with their natural and nutrient-rich properties, have become a new focus in the health industry, meeting the market’s demand for green and healthy products.
Plant Extracts: Natural Essence Empowering Health
Plant extracts are active ingredients derived from plants that retain the core nutritional values of the plants, providing natural support for health. From milk thistle for liver protection, ginseng for immune enhancement, to blueberries rich in antioxidants, these plant essences are widely used in health supplements, pharmaceuticals, and beauty industries, becoming an essential part of modern healthy living.
The Green Engine Driving Industry Growth
In recent years, the global market for plant extracts has been growing rapidly. Data shows that in 2023, the market size of the plant extract industry in China reached 49.89 billion RMB, and it is expected to grow to 60.2 billion RMB by 2025. The global market also holds great potential, with an expected market size of 64.6 billion USD by 2028. Particularly driven by the rise of online health consumption, plant extracts have shown strong growth in the nutritional supplement market, with online sales increasing by 13.7% year-on-year.
The Fusion of Traditional Wisdom and Modern Technology
China’s plant extract industry is deeply rooted in traditional Chinese medicine culture, which is innovatively applied through modern technology. Many traditional herbal ingredients, such as ginseng, reishi mushroom, and mulberry leaves, occupy a significant position in the plant extract market, becoming the core ingredients in modern health supplements. This combination not only enhances the efficacy and application of products but also accelerates the rapid development of the industry.
Potential of Niche Markets
Specific plant extracts are showing tremendous potential in niche markets. For example, mulberry leaf extract is popular for its effects on blood sugar control, blood pressure reduction, and weight management, while reishi mushroom extract, known for its immune-regulating properties, has become a market favorite. The booming sales of these products further boost the development of the plant extract industry, offering consumers a wider range of health choices.
The Future Green Goldmine
The plant extract industry is entering an unprecedented phase of development, as global demand for natural health products continues to grow. By 2028, the global market size is expected to reach 64.6 billion USD, and the Chinese market is forecasted to exceed 60.2 billion RMB by 2025, showcasing strong growth potential and international competitiveness.
