Multiple therapeutic regimens are being followed across the globe in attempts to come up with a reliable treatment for Covid-19. One line of treatment includes the use of hydroxychloroquine, while a second treatment line focuses to use antiviral drugs used in the disease management of HIV. Both these approaches have surged demand from advanced antivirals and antimalarial drugs. This impacts the drug manufacturers as an off label indication for these drug classes has to be worked upon. At the moment, the WHO has not prescribed any of these approaches, neither they have commented if one is better than the other. The report will account for Covid19 as a key market contributor.

Increasing awareness regarding the benefits associated with the consumption of herbal supplements is also likely to have a positive impact on the product demand. Manufacturers are focusing on product placement strategies to increase their sale across all consumer groups. For instance, the advertisements targeting children segment are focused on endorsing the use of supplements for nutritional values for healthy growth. According to the article cited by NCBI in 2013, nearly 80% of the global population relies on herbal supplements as part of primary healthcare. Thus, increasing acceptance of natural therapies and products is also propelling the market growth.

According to the United Nations 2017 estimates, geriatric population is expected to reach 2.1 billion in 2050 from 962 million in 2017.

According to the National Consumer Survey on the Medication Experience and Pharmacist Role (NCSME-PR) conducted in U.S. in 2015, it was concluded that people with chronic conditions are more likely to consume herbal supplements. These factors are projected to boost the market growth over the coming years.
