It has been used as a herbal medicine in China for a very long time. On the basis of source, the ginseng market can be segmented into wild and cultivated ginseng.

The availability of wild ginseng has declined in various regions around the world, including China, South Korea, etc., due to less seed germination, slow maturation, and overexploitation, and therefore, there has been a meteoric rise in the price of wild ginseng. As there has been a limitation in the availability of wild ginseng, the cultivation of ginseng has increased to fulfill the needs of consumers. The prices of cultivated ginseng are less as compared to wild ginseng, and depend on the age of the ginseng root. The demand for cultivated American ginseng is increasing across the world, with China as one of the leading consumers.

Organic Ginseng Entices Health-Conscious Consumers : The excessive use of chemicals during crop cultivation causes degradation of the soil, and therefore, has an adverse effect on crop productivity. These chemicals further enter the food chain and can cause side-effects in humans and other living organisms. The awareness among consumers about the health hazards due to these chemicals has increased, and therefore, they prefer the use of organic products. Due to this trend, manufacturers have started producing organic ginseng products to satisfy the requirements of consumers.

Recently, it has been used in personal care products such as moisturizers, cleansers, softeners, exfoliators, serums, essences, etc. It has an antioxidant property that can help cure dry and damaged skin. Ginseng also provides anti-aging benefits and improves the blood flow, which enhances the natural glow of the skin.
