The medicinal and aromatic plant (map) market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $449.32 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to adoption of controlled environment agriculture, growth in organic and functional food markets, technological advancements in extraction and processing, increasing investment in plant biotechnology, rising demand for traceable and high-quality medicinal and aromatic plants.

The increasing demand for natural and herbal medicines is expected to drive the growth of the medicinal and aromatic plant (MAP) market going forward. Natural and herbal medicines refer to therapeutic products derived from plants, botanicals, and other natural sources that are used to prevent, manage, or treat health conditions using traditional or evidence-based practices. Demand for natural and herbal medicines is rising due to increasing consumer preference for safer, low side-effect alternatives to synthetic drugs, influenced by growing health awareness and a shift toward holistic wellness. Medicinal and aromatic plants (MAP) act as the primary raw materials for natural and herbal medicines, supplying bioactive compounds, essential oils, and therapeutic ingredients that enable the formulation of safe, effective, and plant-based healthcare solutions. For instance, in September 2024, according to HerbalGram, a US-based international nonprofit organization, total annual sales of herbal dietary supplements in the US increased from $12.018 billion in 2022 to $12.551 billion in 2023, reflecting growth of 4.4%. Therefore, the increasing demand for natural and herbal medicines is driving the growth of the medicinal and aromatic plant (MAP) market.
Leading companies operating in the medicinal and aromatic plant (MAP) market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as field-to-finish plant exploration, to ensure sustainable sourcing, full traceability, and consistent quality of botanical ingredients. Field-to-finish plant exploration is an end-to-end approach that covers botanical identification, sustainable harvesting, extraction, and final product development, and it helps ensure ingredient traceability, consistent quality, and enhanced efficacy compared with traditional fragmented sourcing methods. For example, in September 2024, Groupe Berkem, a France-based bio-based chemistry company, launched the Global Plant Exploration Initiative, a comprehensive program aimed at advancing botanical extract development for diverse health applications in the dietary supplement market. This initiative involves direct field premium sourcing of botanicals, total traceability from harvest to finished extract, and collaboration with local communities and expert ethnobotanists to ensure ecological and ethical practices. Unlike conventional extract pipelines that may depend on commoditized plant materials, this initiative’s emphasis on field discovery and sustainability enhances ingredient quality and supports community livelihoods.
In November 2024, OmniActive Health Technologies Ltd., an India-based healthcare technology company, acquired ENovate Biolife for an undisclosed sum. Through this acquisition, OmniActive sought to broaden and diversify its range of clinically validated botanical health ingredients, reinforcing its global presence in the dietary supplement and functional nutrition markets. ENovate Biolife is an India-based healthcare technology and ingredients developer specializing in proprietary, clinically researched botanical ingredient solutions for sports and active nutrition, joint and lower back support, men’s health, heart health, and other emerging health applications.
