  • Region: Global
  • BCC Research
  • ID: 6214989
The global market for botanical and plant-derived drugs is expected to grow from $38.7 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $58.1 billion by the end of 2030, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5% during the forecast period of 2025 to 2030.

The use of conventional treatments based on regional herbs, combined with technological advancements, has gained popularity in recent decades for treating wounds and illnesses. New bioactive compounds derived from plants have been developed as a result, although post-marketing studies and clinical trials have not been successful enough to meet FDA regulations.

Throughout history, plants have been utilized as a source of medicine, and they still form the basis of many modern medications. But even though botanical medicine served as the foundation for the modern pharmaceutical industry, synthetic techniques in drug development are now commonplace.

The pharmaceutical and biotech industries have accepted the new reality brought about by science-driven translational research and botanical development, resulting in significant shifts in approaches, technology, and disciplines.
