Phytochemicals Market - Food and Beverages Industries have Emerged Growth

Phytochemicals are the products derived from organic plants and are used in the manufacturing of organic food and food supplements. Increasing organic agriculture has resulted in the significant demand for phytochemical and plant- based products in the nutraceutical industry. The consumption of plant extracts and ingredients prevents various diseases as plants derived products are considered more beneficial in comparison to other chemical based medicines for healthy people. Due to the growing health awareness among consumers about the harmful side effects of chemically processed products, there has been enormous rise in demand for phytochemicals and other organic plant based product in the recent years coupled with the paradigm shift in the consumer preference towards natural phytochemical and plant derived nutraceutical products fuelling the acceptance for plant based extracts among wholesalers and retailers in comparison to chemically synthesized products.

But, still there lies a gap between demand and supply in the American market that directed to high imports of phytochemical products from other nations, also it has been witnessed that lifestyles diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, cancer and obesity cases increased in recent years in North American region.
