The nutraceutical packaging market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• There has been substantial growth in the nutraceutical packaging market size in the past few years. It is projected to expand from $4.32 billion in 2024 to $4.64 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%.
Factors such as an aging population, the use of dietary supplements, adherence to regulatory requirements, convenience for consumers, and branding and marketing strategies have contributed to the growth seen in the historical period.
The nutraceutical packaging market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the forthcoming years, the nutraceutical packaging market is forecasted to witness robust expansion. The market is projected to reach an estimated value of $6.35 billion by 2029, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%.
Factors contributing to this growth during the predicted period include the proliferation of e-commerce, the implementation of child-resistant and clean label packaging, anti-counterfeiting measures, and personalized nutrition tactics. Significant trends projected during this time-frame encompass biodegradable packaging, digital printing, the evolution of smart packaging materials, enhanced traceability and serialization, and the rise of sustainable packaging.
As people increasingly adopt healthier lifestyles, the nutraceutical packaging market is projected to expand. This change is driven by a rising interest in natural food products that offer direct therapeutic benefits, as more consumers become aware of the link between health and nutrition. Nutraceutical food, with its health or medicinal benefits, including disease prevention or treatment, is becoming more popular. For example, the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change (TBI), a UK-based nonprofit organization, reported in March 2023 that 130 million workdays are lost annually due to illness. It suggested that by encouraging better health in the workplace, this number could be reduced by 10 to 20 percent, potentially contributing around £60 billion to the UK economy. Hence, this trend towards healthier living is fueling the growth of the nutraceutical packaging market.
