Popular botanical extracts such as turmeric, ashwagandha, green tea, aloe vera, rosemary, chamomile, and ginseng continue gaining traction for promoting digestive wellness, stress reduction, cognitive support, skin vitality, and immune resilience. As global consumers prioritize natural, preventive, and plant-based lifestyles, plant extracts are solidifying their role as a critical component of the evolving natural wellness ecosystem.

Herbs & Spices Segment to Maintain Dominant Market Share
The herbs & spices category is projected to hold a significant share of the global plant extracts market throughout the forecast period, owing to its widespread use across the food & beverage, dietary supplement, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.
Botanicals such as turmeric, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, black pepper, rosemary, basil, oregano, clove, and cardamom remain integral to daily culinary habits and are valued for their natural flavoring ability, preservative benefits, and functional health properties.
A 2023 study published in Springer Nature highlighted the high levels of phenolic compounds in multiple spices, demonstrating notable antioxidant and antimicrobial activity in clove, cinnamon, turmeric, pepper, and other varieties. These findings reaffirm the segment’s strong functional potential for health, preservation, and wellness applications.
The rising popularity of herbal supplements, plant-based diets, and diverse global cuisines is expected to further solidify the dominance of this segment.
Cosmetics & Personal Care Segment to Record Significant Growth
The cosmetics & personal care sector is forecast to be one of the fastest-growing application segments in the plant extracts industry. Increasing consumer demand for natural, chemical-free, organic, halal, vegan, and clean-label beauty products is fueling the use of botanical actives in skincare and haircare formulations.
Extracts including aloe vera, chamomile, green tea, licorice, rosemary, turmeric, rosehip, ginseng, neem, and grapeseed are being incorporated for their anti-aging, brightening, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and moisturizing benefits.
This growth is further supported by rising interest in nutricosmetics, personalized beauty solutions, green extraction technologies, and social media–driven wellness trends. As brands expand their botanical-based portfolios, plant extracts are expected to remain at the forefront of natural beauty innovation.
