Executive Summary

The global market for herbal medicine has consistently expanded over the years, with rising demand particularly evident in developing nations. This phenomenon can be attributed to several factors, including population growth, the recognized health advantages of herbal products, and the perception of these products as safer and more economically viable alternatives to pharmaceutical drugs. The increasing significance of herbal medicinal products globally is driven primarily by their positive impact on health and well-being.

Large segments of the population in developing countries heavily rely on traditional practitioners and herbal medicines as their primary healthcare option. In Africa and India, up to 90% and 70% of the population, respectively, turn to traditional medicine for their health needs. Notably, traditional medicine contributes to approximately 40% of healthcare in China, with most general hospitals having dedicated traditional medicine units. In the U.S., about 38% of adults and 12% of children have embraced some form of traditional medicine.

The World Health Organization (WHO) plays a pivotal role in shaping the herbal medicine landscape, and this active involvement is expected to influence market demand significantly. Several key facts underscore the importance of the WHO’s contribution to the herbal medicine sector. Almost 90% of WHO member states globally have developed policies, laws, regulations, programs, and offices for traditional and complementary medicine (T&CM) that are aligned with the WHO’s Global Traditional and Complementary Medicine Strategy 2014-2023. The WHO has made efforts to raise public awareness about the benefits and potential risks of herbal medicine among consumers and healthcare providers. This informed approach promotes responsible usage and further fuels market demand.

In 2022, the American Herbal Products Association became the most important trade group for herbs and medicinal plants in the U.S. This achievement is expected to boost the American market related to these products.

The shift in public perception also drives the demand for herbal medicines, which offer distinct advantages over synthetic pharmaceutical drugs. The characteristic of lower toxicity and enhancements in national traditional and complementary medicine governance and infrastructure will further drive the market growth.

The global market for herbal medicines was valued at $153.5 billion in 2022 and is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 10.6% to reach a value of $279.8 billion by the end of 2028. The major players in the market are Bayer AG, Herbalife Nutrition Ltd., Dabur India Ltd., Patanjali Ayurved Ltd., and Blackmores Group.
