Nutraceuticals - Creating Diversification Opportunities for Pharmaceutical and Food Companies

Pharmaceutical businesses see ‘Nutrition’ as a profitable potential where they may harness their existing expertise to get a market footing. Pharmaceutical companies have extensive research capabilities, clinical trial experience, close established relationships with medical practitioners to help drive uptake, and access to scientific databases and capabilities to create complementary nutrition solutions centered on their existing drugs that can improve medical outcomes in the patient pool.

Citing the lucrative prospects of the nutraceuticals market, several key pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer, Bayer, Otsuka Pharmaceutical, and Abbott, among others have entered the market.

Similarly, Nestlé, Danone, and Amway have identified the potential for nutraceuticals in their portfolios. To gain a footing in the market, they are progressively leveraging their experience in nutrition science, taste, flavoring, and changeable formats, short-term packaging, market research, consumer marketing & advertising, branding, and strong partnerships with retailers and distributors.

“The paradigm shift in healthcare from treatment to prevention is providing momentum to the nutraceuticals market. The transition has urged patients and clients to think differently about health and disease, which has created opportunities for pharmaceutical and food companies to get involved in the disease/care pathway.”-Chair of Infectious Diseases, Public Research University, London, UK

The Impact of Covid-19 on the Global Nutraceuticals Market

The announcement that vitamin D administration may lessen the risk of COVID-19 problems increased demand for vitamins and supplements. Vitamin D was also identified as an effective immune-modifying vitamin in research studies, which promoted supplementation and urged governments to raise the required levels. This increased demand for vitamins, minerals, and herbal supplements, which strengthened the nutraceuticals business.

Due to consumers’ desire for greater health and wellbeing, the demand for nutritional supplements and functional food and beverages continues to rise as a preventive step against Covid-19. The market for nutraceuticals is projected to last longer due to increased understanding of chronic diseases, health and preventive measures, the function of immunity, and dietary supplements.

Nutraceuticals: Revenue Opportunities

To address the rising burden of dementia, neurodegenerative brain diseases like Alzheimer’s, gut health issues, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and diabetes, nutraceutical manufacturers are constantly striving to launch products that can improve cognitive function, gluten and lactose-free products, products that can lower cholesterol and support a healthy heart, and products that can serve as a sugar substitute for diabetics. A robust pipeline of such goods will almost certainly propel the global nutraceuticals industry.
