Plant-based and organic nutraceuticals and consumer focus on preventive health are among the critical factors attributed to drive the Middle East & Africa nutraceuticals market growth.
The increasing number of health-conscious consumers worldwide boosts the demand for nutraceuticals with vegan, organic, and plant-based tags. The burgeoning awareness of the more significant nutritional profiles of plant-based nutraceuticals than their traditional counterparts is expected to propel the demand for plant-based nutraceuticals over the forecast period. These products contain collagen, minerals, antioxidants, and carbohydrates in higher amounts with lower fat content, which appeals to consumers seeking healthier nutraceuticals. To keep up with the growing trend of organic and plant-based products, several companies focus on launching their plant-based nutraceuticals, along with expanding their existing product lines. In 2024, Brevel, Ltd., a microalgae protein company, launched its first commercial plant in Israel, covering 27,000 square feet. The facility can produce hundreds of tons of clean, non-GMO microalgae protein powder, addressing the growing global alternative protein market. This development marks a significant step in scaling plant protein production to meet commercial food market demands. In 2023, Switch Foods launched a state-of-the-art plant-based meat production facility in Abu Dhabi, supporting the UAE's National Food Security Strategy 2051. Additionally, Singapore's Float Foods introduced its plant-based egg alternatives in the UAE, partnering with Bidfood Middle East to supply four OnlyEg products—shreds, Omelette, Tamagoyaki, and Patties—to local businesses. These products may also be available in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Oman. Thus, plant-based and organic nutraceuticals are emerging as significant nutraceuticals market trends.
