Posted by Arslan on January 25th, 2018

Global Nutricosmetics Market is expected to unveil substantial growth in the forthcoming years, especially due to the growing elderly population globally. Furthermore, factors such as increasing demand for natural products for health and beauty due to fewer side effects and rising healthcare costs are stirring growth of the global nutricosmetics market. 

Nutricosmetics are orally consumed natural health products that contain target nutrients and antioxidants for the treatment of skin, hair, and nails. They are available in the form of beverages, beauty supplements, or functional foods, or that contain active ingredients along with ingredients such as proteins, enzymes, minerals, botanical leaves, lycopene, etc. that are developed and marketed mainly as beauty aids. Nutricosmetics are available as tablets, pills, jellies, capsules, and drinks. 

The drift toward a healthier lifestyle and the positive effects of ingredients such as green tea, roots, and barks that supports “Beauty from within” is increasing the demand for nutricosmetics at the global level. 

However, lack of awareness among consumers about the benefits of nutricosmetics is acting as a bottleneck to the growth of this market. The relatively new availability of these products has been a reason for their low credibility among consumers. Furthermore, longer time for nutricosmetics to show results is challenging the growth of nutricosmetics market. 

The global nutricosmetics market pegged an opportunity of US.13 bn in 2016 and is poised to reach US.93 bn by 2025, progressing at a CAGR of 5.0% between 2017 and 2025.
