Well-being goes beyond physical health and people are increasingly aware of this. As a result, they seek ways to enhance and maintain their brain health. A healthy brain can adapt to new information, form memories, regulate mood and stress responses, and smoothly perform everyday activities. Good brain health is not merely the absence of disease, but a dynamic state influenced by various lifestyle factors. This topic covers the broader aspects of brain functions, including sleep, mental well-being (mood, stress, and anxiety), and cognitive health (abilities and processes related to thinking, learning, and memory).
Brain health products are gaining popularity globally, especially among certain demographic groups, such as busy working professionals, students, the aging population, athletes, and eSports players and gamers. Mood, stress, and anxiety; cognitive performance; and sleep-supporting supplements are the key brain health supplement types experiencing higher demand.
North America dominated the global brain health ingredients market in 2023 due to high consumer awareness about brain health. Consequently, it had the highest per-capita spending on supplements in the region. Asia-Pacific accounted for the second largest market share of the total brain health ingredients market. Frost & Sullivan expects Asia-Pacific to show the fastest growth during the forecast period due to high population density, increasing consumer awareness about brain health (especially amongst the millennial and Gen Z population) growing economies, and rising per-capita disposable income.
The application scope of this analysis is restricted to a preventive healthcare approach and includes dietary supplements and functional food and beverages.
Revenue Forecast
Estimated revenue for the base year (2023) is $4,393.9 million, with a CAGR of 5.8% over the study period (2023–2030).
The Impact of the Top 3 Strategic Imperatives on the Brain Health Ingredients Industry
Geopolitical Chaos
Why
- The COVID-19 pandemic drew attention to the increase in mental health issues globally.
- Stressors from the cost-of-living crisis in 2022 and other geopolitical chaos exacerbated mental health issues for consumers.
- The high inflation period resulted in increased production costs for brain health ingredients in 2022, which limited consumer affordability and market demand.
Frost Perspective
- Cautious buying by global consumers affected brain health supplement sales in 2022 and 2023.
- The brain health industry showed significant resilience amid the unpredictable global landscape and will continue to maintain strong growth momentum during the forecast period.
- Value chain participants must focus on supply chain resiliency, especially for herbs and botanicals, to maintain a competitive edge amid geopolitical volatility.
Transformative Megatrends
Why
- Consumers prioritize mental well-being, so interest in products that increase focus, attention, productivity, and mental endurance will expand.
- Products that improve mood and reduce stress and anxiety are gaining significant consumer attention.
- Pill fatigue will drive innovation across novel dosage formats in the brain health supplement industry during the forecast period.
Frost Perspective
- R&D investments to evaluate the application potential of different ingredients will be important to capitalize on the growing demand for brain health supplements.
- Product formulators must focus on the development of innovative and easy-to-take delivery formats to meet changing consumer requirements.
- Ingredient suppliers must develop ingredients that companies can formulate into different formats with the same efficacy and stability.
Disruptive Technology
Why
- The trend of personalized nutrition has expanded to brain health supplements, which acknowledges individual differences in response to nutritional interventions.
- Tailoring supplement formulations to suit factors including genetics and lifestyle by utilizing technologies such as genetic testing and biomarker analysis enables the precise identification of nutritional needs, fostering personalized strategies to maintain brain health.
Frost Perspective
- Market participants that have already secured the first-mover advantage in the personalized nutrition sector for brain health include truBRN™, roots, and Threads.
- Personalization technologies' implementation will help product formulators gain market share in the rapidly changing health supplement industry.
