Global
Licorice Extract Market: Snapshot
Of
late, the global licorice extracts market is witnessing a stable
progress, thanks to the growing demand for pharmaceutical products,
herbal medicines, and various other health products among people
across the world. The increasing uptake of natural ingredients in
medical supplements, together with the rising inclination of
consumers towards sugar-free products, boosted by the upswing in the
consumer consciousness towards health and fitness, is fueling the
demand for licorice extracts, reflecting greatly on this market.
Currently,
the market players are focusing aggressively on research and
development activities to develop new products in order to satisfy
the swelling demand for sugar-free products, as the rising prevalence
of diabetes and obesity has increased the concerns of consumers over
the high intake of sugar. This, as a result, is expected to benefit
the sales of licorice extracts in the years to come. Apart from this,
the opportunities generated by the advent of herbal medicines in
developed regions are also projected to reflect greatly on the market
for licorice extracts, globally. The overall opportunity in this
market, which stood at US$1.70 bn in 2016, is anticipated to reach
US$2.3 bn by 2025, expanding at a CAGR of 4.0% between 2017 and 2025.
