Quercetin Market Report 2026

The quercetin market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.66 billion in 2025 to $1.92 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing demand for natural antioxidant supplements, growing focus on immune health and wellness, rising use of quercetin in nutraceutical formulations, expansion of dietary supplement retail channels, increasing preference for plant-based bioflavonoids.

The quercetin market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.4 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing adoption of bioavailability-enhanced quercetin formulations, increasing product launches in functional food and beverage categories, rising consumer shift toward preventive healthcare, expansion of online nutraceutical and supplement sales, increasing utilization of quercetin in sports and active lifestyle nutrition. Major trends in the forecast period include technology advancements in liposomal and nano-encapsulation delivery, innovations in multi-ingredient blended nutraceutical formulations, developments in functional food and beverage fortification, research and developments in pharmaceutical-grade therapeutic applications, advancements in clean-label and sustainable quercetin sourcing.

The rising popularity of plant-based diets is expected to drive the growth of the quercetin market in the coming years. Plant-based diets emphasize foods derived from plants, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes, while limiting or excluding animal products. Their popularity is increasing as more consumers recognize that plant-focused eating can reduce the risk of chronic diseases and promote overall health. Quercetin supports plant-based diets by providing a naturally occurring flavonoid in fruits and vegetables that offers antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. It enhances nutritional value by promoting overall wellness and supporting immune and cardiovascular health within plant-based eating patterns. For example, in April 2023, the Plant-Based Foods Association, a US-based trade group for plant-based food companies, reported that 70% of Americans now include plant-based foods in their diet, up from 66% in 2022. Consequently, the growing adoption of plant-based diets is fueling the growth of the quercetin market.

Major companies in the quercetin market are focusing on developing advanced ingredient technologies, such as solvent-free quercetin formulations, to enhance purity, efficacy, and consumer confidence in antioxidant and immune support products. Solvent-free quercetin formulations are produced without using organic solvents (such as ethanol, methanol, acetone, or hexane) during extraction, purification, or formulation. For example, in November 2023, HealthTech BioActives Inc., a US-based provider of premium bioactive ingredients for dietary supplements and functional foods, launched QuerceClean, a solvent-free quercetin ingredient designed to support immune health, provide antioxidant protection, and promote overall wellness. It is produced using proprietary methods that avoid traditional chemical solvents, delivering a high-quality quercetin extract with enhanced purity and bioactivity suitable for capsules, tablets, and functional formulations.

In August 2023, Lion Equity Partners LLC, a US-based private equity firm, acquired Country Life LLC for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Lion Equity Partners expanded its natural and dietary supplements portfolio, enhancing its presence in botanical and antioxidant-rich products aligned with quercetin supplement demand. Country Life LLC is a US-based dietary supplement company specializing in quercetin and other wellness products.
