The sale boost in vitamin C has been high since the outbreak of COVID-19, especially in APAC, Europe, and North America. The surge is expected to continue during the forecast period as the preventive measures have been accelerated.
The herbal and botanical extracts segment is expected to be the fastest-growing one in the market with a CAGR of over 12%. The growth in the vegan population, flexitarians, and consumers seeking plant-based alternatives with fewer side-effects is driving the demand for the segment. The growth is also associated with the importance of clean labels and health claims.

The encouraging results related to the consumption of minerals is expected to generate a surge in mineral-based supplements during the forecast period.

The impact of COVID-19 has reinforced the demand for vitamin C in the form of gummies and chewable from elderberry, cranberry, and other fruits, which has accelerated to the growth further. The increasing demand for plant-based Omega 3, the availability of herbal dosages in powder and liquid forms, and the importance of vegan claims in immune supplements are some of the factors that can promote growth in the coming years. The growth in the number of organic retail outlets can increase the momentum for plant-based immunity supplements among domestic vendors in the market.
