Rising popularity of nutraceutical products
The rising popularity of nutraceutical products can boost the nutraceutical packaging market. Nutraceutical products are derived from food sources with health-promoting or disease-preventing properties like vitamins, minerals, herbal supplements, and certain functional foods.
Nutraceutical products help to reduce the risk of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, certain cancers, and age-related macular degeneration. Awareness of nutraceutical products, including information about nutraceuticals, the benefits and uses of nutraceutical products, etc., can boost the market for nutraceutical products.
Benefits of nutraceutical packaging
The benefits like temper evident seals, moisture barriers, UV protection, and child resistance closures of nutraceutical packaging can grow the demand for nutraceutical packaging, which may lead to the growth of the nutraceutical packaging market. Nutraceutical packaging may include benefits like temper evident seals, moisture barriers, UV protection, and child resistance closures depending on the specific need of the products and their intended use.
Nutraceutical products are derived from food sources with more health benefits in addition to their basic nutritional value, and if the benefits of packaging nutraceuticals are good, then there is a rise in demand for the nutraceutical packaging market.
Negative impact on the environment
The negative impact of nutraceutical packaging on the environment may slow down the progress of the nutraceutical packaging industry. The packaging materials include plastic, glasses, metals, and paper. These materials are non-biodegradable materials, which means these materials do not decompose naturally.
Materials like plastics, glass, and metals take hundreds of years to degrade, are responsible for the cause of pollution, and are also harmful to animals. The packaging materials contain chemicals like bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates. These compounds can come into the food and pose health risks.
Integration of robotic packaging
The integration of robotic packaging can be an opportunity for the nutraceutical packaging market. A packing robot can complete the operations such as filling, transporting, sealing, palletizing, opening, labeling, and code products. Robots can pack and load cartons and also fulfill secondary packaging applications, like printing a cartoon on the back of a cereal box. Robotic packaging helps to streamline the entire packaging line, boost system accuracy, and increase productivity, which may derive the nutraceutical packaging market.
The bottles and jars segment dominated the nutraceutical packaging market by packaging type in 2023. Bottles and jars are the most common packaging type of nutraceutical products. The bottles and jars are useful for capsules, soft gels, liquids, tablets, and gummies. Their rigid shape protects the contents from moisture, oxygen, pests, and physical damage. The bottles and jars prevent the nutraceutical products from physical oxygen, damage, moisture, and pests. The transparent bottles and jars are best for showcasing nutraceutical products and their quality. Nutraceutical products are health benefits food products sold in the form of pills, powders, and liquids or also marketed as health-promoting or disease-preventing properties like vitamins, minerals, herbal supplements, and certain functional foods.
The bags and pouches segment is expected to grow to the highest CAGR in the nutraceutical packaging market by packaging type during the forecast period. Bag-and-pouch packaging provides eco-conscious solutions that help keep nutraceuticals safe and fresh from fill through end-use. Nutraceutical packaging may include features like temper-evidence seals, moisture barriers, UV protection, and child-resistant closures depending on the specific needs of the products and their intended use.
The dietary supplement segment dominated the nutraceutical packaging market by product type in 2023. The dietary supplement is manufactured to improve and maintain the overall health of individuals. Dietary supplements are also useful in fulfilling the daily requirement for essential nutrients. The dietary supplements include vitamins, minerals, proteins, amino acids, bodybuilding supplements, essentially fatty acids, natural products (like extracts from plants, animals, algae, fungi, or lichens), fertility, prenatal, and pharmacotherapy.
The functional foods segment is expected to grow to the highest CAGR in the nutraceutical packaging market by product type during the forecast period.

These include modified foods, medical foods, conventional foods, and foods for special dietary use.
The plastic segment dominated the nutraceutical packaging market by material type in 2023. The packing of plastic allows nutraceutical industries to protect, preserve, store, and transport products in a variety of ways. Plastics are used because of the combination of benefits like durability, safety, hygiene, security, lightweight, and design freedom. Examples of plastic packaging include bottles, jars, bulk containers, trays, and blister packing.
The glass segment is expected to grow to the highest CAGR in the nutraceutical packaging market by material type during the forecast period. The glass is made by cooling a heated, fused mixture of silicates, lime, and soda to the point of fusion. After cooling, the glass comes in the condition of substance which is continuous with, and similar to, the liquid state but which, as a result of a reversible change in viscosity, has attained so high a degree of viscosity as to be for all practical purposes solid. There are two types of glass packaging used for nutraceutical products, bottles with a narrow neck, jars, and pots with wide openings.
