NUTRACEUTICAL MARKET

Nutraceutical Market: differentiate your products and enhance the consumer experience

The nutraceutical market is experiencing strong growth, driven by increasingly demanding consumers seeking naturality, perceived efficacy and product experience.
According to Synadiet Observatory data, the sector represents nearly €3 billion, supported by:

  • the expansion of vitamins, OTC and functional products
  • the search for quality and perceived effectiveness
  • growing expectations around naturality and clean label

TASTE, NATURALITY AND ACCEPTABILITY: KEY CHALLENGES IN NUTRACEUTICALS

Nutraceutical formulations (powders, gummies, liquids, lozenges, etc.) frequently incorporate complex active ingredients (minerals, botanicals, probiotics, plant extracts), requiring advanced flavour expertise.

Taste is no longer secondary: it directly impacts compliance, product preference and repeat purchase, making it a key driver of commercial performance.

Consumer expectations are reinforcing these challenges:

COMPLIANCE & REPEAT PURCHASE

taste directly influences consistency of use and therefore perceived effectiveness

NATURALITY & CLEAN LABEL

flavour origins are closely scrutinized; consumers read labels and expect recognizable ingredients

CONTROL OF OFF-NOTES

nutraceutical actives often generate undesirable notes (vegetal, sulphurous, marine), requiring specific sensory expertise

DOSAGE FORM DIVERSITY

Gummies, powders, liquids, lozenges… each format brings its own constraints in terms of carrier, stability and flavour intensity

In nutraceuticals, taste and naturality have become key differentiating factors.
