  • Abstract

    The market for health supplements is expanding steadily as a result of changing lifestyles, rising ‎incomes, and greater health consciousness. The vitamins and minerals segment of health supplements ‎dominates the current market. The FSSAI, India's health supplement authority, with its well-defined ‎framework for licensing health supplements, ensures science-based guidelines for food and health ‎supplements. The Indian market for supplements, predicted to grow to a value of USD 10 billion by 2025, ‎necessitates quality and safety throughout their production and sales. The present study gives a glimpse of ‎the plant-based health supplement market scenario in India along with its challenges. To sustain the steady ‎growth of the health supplement sector, it is of utmost importance that customer trust, R&D related quality ‎issues, and regulatory mechanisms need to be strengthened‎.
