With more than 50% of the Indian population at the risk of nutrition related disorders and the rising health consciousness, nutraceuticals companies are eyeing the high potential Indian nutraceuticals market

In the year 2012 the Indian nutraceuticals market accounted for only about 1% of the global nutraceuticals market. Given the changing demographics of the Indian population and the increasing focus on fitness and good health the nutraceuticals market is being identified as a high potential market in India. According to the report “India Nutraceuticals Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2017”, recently published, it is estimated that the nutraceuticals market is set to grow beyond USD 4.2 Billion revenues by the end of 2017.

“India Nutraceuticals Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2017” report classifies the Indian nutraceuticals market into three submarkets – functional foods, functional beverages, and dietary supplements. According to the findings of the report while the functional foods segment dominates the market in terms of value, the functional beverages segment is set to experience the highest growth over the next five years.

“Although, a considerable share of the nutraceuticals market in India is still occupied by unorganized players, the market is witnessing increasing investments from the organized sector where the major players are the established pharmaceuticals and FMCG companies,” said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director.
