AsiaNet 53741

MUMBAI, India, July 18, 2013 /PRN=KYODO JBN/ --

    The nutraceuticals market in India is expected to grow tremendously in the

next five years. Indian nutraceuticals market revenues are expected to reach

approximately USD 4.2 Billion in 2017. The market is being strongly driven by

the increasing health consciousness, rising disposable incomes, increasing

number of people being affected by lifestyle diseases resulting in greater

healthcare spending. The companies operating in this market are aiming to

attain higher product visibility and the market players of the nutraceuticals

market are focusing on industry expansion to boost the growth of an already

expanding OTC market. In addition, the growth of the nutraceuticals market has

also been

contributed to by easy availability and accessibility of healthy foods in

developing nations, inclination towards healthy lifestyle and introduction of

foods targeted at specific diseases and deficiencies. However, the industry is

still in a nascent stage and holds ample opportunity to grow in future. There

is a strong need for regulatory clarity, developing customized products,

affordable pricing and distribution strategy.
