This is expected to positively influence the industry growth.
The Asia-Pacific to Provide Enhanced Growth Opportunities for the Expansion of the Salacia Industry
Region-wise, the Asia-Pacific is expected to significantly contribute to the industry growth over the forecast period.

Salacia serves as a popular ingredient in Ayurvedic remedies for the treatment of diabetes and obesity. Thus, the growing demand for herbal products in the region is expected to propel the industry growth.
