Nutraceutical Excipients Market Report 2026

The nutraceutical excipients market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.31 billion in 2025 to $4.57 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in dietary supplement consumption, increasing health awareness among consumers, expansion of nutraceutical manufacturing capacity, rising prevalence of lifestyle-related disorders, regulatory support for nutraceutical products.

The nutraceutical excipients market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.78 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to innovation in multifunctional excipients, demand for personalized nutrition solutions, growth of plant-based and vegan supplements, increasing investment in nutraceutical R&D, expansion of nutraceutical markets in emerging economies. Major trends in the forecast period include rising use of clean-label and natural excipients, growing demand for bioavailability enhancement, expansion of functional food and dietary supplement applications, increased focus on taste masking and sensory optimization, standardization and quality consistency in formulations.

The increasing focus on health and wellness is expected to drive the growth of the nutraceutical excipients market in the coming years. Health and wellness represent a holistic state of physical, mental, and social well-being, reflecting a balanced combination of lifestyle choices, preventive measures, and positive behaviors that contribute to overall health and quality of life. Nutraceutical excipients are vital ingredients used to enhance the bioavailability, stability, delivery, palatability, and regulatory compliance of nutraceutical products, ultimately improving their effectiveness in supporting overall health and wellness. For instance, in September 2025, the Australian Bureau of Statistics, a government agency, reported that in 2023, approximately one in three individuals (33.6%) used dietary supplements, with usage notably higher among adult females (43.7%) compared to adult males (30.8%). Therefore, the growing emphasis on health and wellness is driving the growth of the nutraceutical excipients market.

Major companies in the nutraceutical excipients market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as plant-based excipients, to meet the increasing demand for natural and sustainable ingredients. Plant-based excipients are natural substances derived from plants that serve as inactive ingredients in dietary supplements and functional foods. They improve stability, bioavailability, and effectiveness, and include fillers, binders, and stabilizers such as cellulose and gum arabic, which aid nutrient delivery and maintain product consistency. For instance, in May 2023, Roquette Frères, a France-based food company, launched PEARLITOL ProTec, a new excipient designed to enhance the stability of probiotic supplements. This plant-based co-processed blend of mannitol and maize starch effectively protects moisture-sensitive active ingredients, providing improved shelf life and compatibility for various consumer-friendly dosage forms.

In March 2024, Roquette Frères S.A., a France-based supplier of plant-based ingredients and excipients, acquired IFF Pharma Solutions for €2.85 billion ($3.09 billion). Through this acquisition, Roquette aims to strengthen its excipient platform by integrating IFF’s extensive pharma and nutraceutical excipient portfolio, thereby accelerating its growth in global health nutrition markets. IFF Pharma Solutions is a US-based pharmaceutical company that develops and manufactures a wide range of excipients for oral dosage forms, including cellulose derivatives, binders, and vegan capsule materials suitable for nutraceutical applications.

Major companies operating in the nutraceutical excipients market are Cargill Incorporated, BASF SE, CJ CheilJedang Corporation, Evonik Industries AG, Associated British Foods plc, Dow DuPont Inc., International Flavors And Fragrances Inc, Kerry Group plc, Ingredion, Givaudan, Lonza Group, Sensient Technologies Corporation, Azelis Group, Ashland Inc., Hawkins Inc., Innophos, SPI Pharma Inc., Nexira, Pfanstiehl Inc., Biogrund GmbH.

North America was the largest region in the nutraceutical excipients market in 2025. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the forecast period. The regions covered in the nutraceutical excipients market report are Asia-Pacific, South East Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East, Africa. The countries covered in the nutraceutical excipients market report are Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Taiwan, Russia, South Korea, UK, USA, Canada, Italy, Spain.

Tariffs have influenced the nutraceutical excipients market by increasing the cost of imported raw materials such as cellulose derivatives, lactose, and specialty polymers used in fillers, binders, and coating agents. This has impacted manufacturing economics and pricing, particularly for dry excipients and premium-grade formulations, with Asia-Pacific and Europe being most affected due to their reliance on cross-border supply chains. Smaller manufacturers face margin pressure, while larger players are restructuring sourcing strategies and investing in local production. In some regions, tariffs have encouraged domestic excipient manufacturing and supply chain localization, supporting long-term market resilience.
