The anticipated increase in chronic diseases is predicted to spur the expansion of the nutraceutical contract manufacturing services industry. Chronic diseases are health conditions or illnesses that last for at least three months or more and may worsen with passing time. The role of contract manufacturing in the nutraceutical industry is to allow brands to expedite product development and production of high-quality, personalized nutraceutical products that are potential solutions for managing and preventing chronic diseases. For example, the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, a government agency based in Australia, reported in June 2024 that the mortality rate due to chronic diseases increased from 459 per 100,000 individuals in 2021 to 490 per 100,000 individuals in 2022. Consequently, the uptick in chronic diseases is anticipated to stimulate the nutraceutical contract manufacturing services market's expansion.
