Herbal Nanomedicine Market Trends

  Increasing demand for natural and herbal-based nanomedicine

The burgeoning demand for natural and herbal-based nanomedicine is acting as a potent catalyst for the exponential growth of the herbal nanomedicine market. This surge is propelled by several interconnected factors. For instance, herbal medicines are becoming more popular due to their effectiveness in treating various diseases with minimal side effects. Also, herbal medicines provide fewer adverse effects as compared with modern medicines. There are several herbal medicines that are extracted with nanotechnology and are manufactured by several companies, providing immense advantages. For instance, Herbalife (US) manufactures Immunoturmeric, is developed with raw materials cultivated by turmeric farmers in the Indonesia’s Central Java region. Curcumin, a compound found in turmeric, has been widely reported to help manage metabolic syndrome and inflammatory conditions. Despite its numerous advantages, curcumin is difficult to incorporate into commercial products, owing to its low water solubility, rapid metabolism by enzymes in the body, and low bioavailability.

Moreover, the growing geriatric population represents a significant driver for the herbal nanomedicine market. As people age around the world, there is an increase in age-related cognitive decline and neurological conditions like Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Herbal nanomedicines that have shown promising early signs of clinical efficacy in the symptomatic therapy of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The elderly population seeks solutions to maintain cognitive function and overall brain health, resulting in increased demand for herbal-based nanomedicine supplements and medications. Furthermore, the increasing geriatric population in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific is fueling the market growth. As per America’s Health Rankings, approximately 58 million adults ages 65 and older were living in the US in 2022. According to the European Commission, there were 448.8 million people, and more than one fifth of them were aged 65 years and over by January 2023.

Thus, the Herbal Nanomedicine Market is expanding due to growing geriatric population and lack of awareness associated with herbal nanomedicine.
