The Nutraceuticals Market

Nutraceuticals are food-based substances consumed for the potential prevention and/or treatment of illness and disease[1] .

The global nutraceutical market size was valued at US$382.51 billion in 2019 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 8.3% to USD 722.5 billion by 2027[2] . After North America, Japan and China are the next largest nutraceuticals consumers. Together, these nations make up about 78% of the total nutraceuticals market in the Asia Pacific region.[3]

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, personal health has become more important than ever for the general public. Understandably, it’s becoming increasingly common for consumers to include nutraceuticals in their daily diet.

Increased global awareness of, and concern for health and wellness are just some of the factors driving sales and revenue growth. Subsequently, the nutraceuticals industry is potentially positioned for even further expansion and success in 2021 and beyond.

  • Australian products are perceived in the US as high quality and very healthy; and

  • Online marketing content can be easily localised and scaled across the country, with no language barriers and low geopolitical risk (i.e. no trade wars).

LV1 will continue to expand Its marketing push in the US by:

  • Leverage its strong digital capabilities to drive significant high and low intent traffic to its online assets and increase conversion rates;

  • Maximising the use of Social Media for DtoC sales.
