Growing Population and Rising Prevalence of Lifestyle and Chronic Diseases to Drive the Demand for Botanical Drugs

According to Straits Research, "The global botanical drug market revenue was valued at USD 163.32 million in 2022 and is valued at USD 178.23 million in 2023. It is expected to be valued at USD 3,431.32 million in 2031. The market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 39.2% during the forecast period (2022–2030)." The life expectancy of the population across the globe has increased significantly in the past years.

China alone will have 120 million people over 80 years, and the global geriatric population will surpass 434 million.

Such government regulations caused the botanical drug to witness bottlenecks as the supply of raw materials couldn't be made.

In a research article published in September 2020, it was stated that herbal medicines could be risk-free for assessing respiratory diseases and can be used as a treatment means for Covid-19. The Office of State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the General Office of the National Health office also increased the pace of exploring the traditional Chinese medicines, promoting the growth of the global botanical drug market.
