Impact of COVID-19 on Botanical Extracts Market
The outbreak of COVID-19 has had a significant impact on public health and all stages of the supply chain and various industries. Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to almost 100 countries worldwide, with the World Health Organization declaring it a public health emergency. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) global impacts significantly affected the  botanical extracts market  in 2020.
The health officials have not determined the exact cause of COVID-19, which has sickened more than 167,547,945 people and killed 3,467,722 as of 27th May 2021 (Source: European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control). For the botanical and herbal products industry, the impacts are no less profound. The early stages of the crisis have been a roller coaster ride of trying to interpret and anticipate potential disruptions to the herbal supply chain, which depends significantly on China, the early epicenter of the outbreak. This has been further complicated by more recent closures of other key botanical supply regions, such as India and Europe.

As alarm about the virus grew, so did the demand for herbal immune enhancers, wellness formulas, traditional covid-ko-medicines, and botanical ingredients ranging from echinacea (Echinacea purpurea and other species of Echinacea, Asteraceae) and elderberry (Sambucus nigra, Adoxaceae) fruit to turmeric (Curcuma longa, Zingiberaceae) root and rhizome. The results are boosting the demand for the botanical industry and could have lasting impacts on how and where product manufacturers source their botanical ingredients.
The market for spices and seasonings have witnessed a rapid uptick with the onset of the coronavirus crisis, wherein some select spices that are meant to provide immunity, such as turmeric, ginger, and garlic, has received tremendous response from consumers globally. Further, consumers have stockpiled nonperishable food items, soaps, and health products, including herbal dietary supplements. This has escalated the demand for herbal extracts typically used in immune-enhancing supplements, including echinacea extracts (Olea europaea, Oleaceae) leaf, and rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis, Lamiaceae). Thus, the growing demand for extracts in the coronavirus crisis is expected to fuel the demand in the market.
However, several concerns such as truck shortages, reduced deliveries, truncated air freight capacity, port congestion, roadblocks, and logistic disruptions and stricter measures are some of the factors that restricted the demand for botanical extracts in the market.
Rising demand for botanical extracts in the food and other applications
The use of botanical extracts is not limited to the healthcare sector. Botanical extracts are also an important component in the food and beverage segment. Botanical extracts can be found in a growing number of product launches across all major segments, from beverages to baked goods and dairy products or savory categories such as soups, sauces, and snacks. One of the most influential categories for extracts is non-alcoholic beverages. Products such as water, flavored water, or infused water focus on consumer groups shifting from drinks with a high sugar content to more natural and less sweet options by using a range of botanicals within their formulations. This further creates opportunities for herbal varieties that comprise a more bitter taste or combinations with mint, tea leaves, mild spices, or floral notes. Likewise, they play an increasing role in plant-based dairy and meat alternatives, providing sensory value and transparency regarding product labeling.

Further, in May 2020, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) approved botanical extracts, concluding that these ingredients are safe to use at the proposed levels in the novel food application. Hence, the growing opportunities for extracts in the food and beverage segment and approval from the EFSA are expected to drive its demand in the market.
Moreover, herbalism is the traditional medicinal practice based on the use of plants and plant extracts. In recent years, increasing numbers of people have been choosing herbal medicines or products to improve their health conditions. According to the World Health Organization, 75% of the world’s population uses herbs for basic healthcare needs. Moreover, many conventional or pharmaceutical drugs are derived directly from both nature and traditional remedies distributed worldwide.
In addition, botanical extracts are used in many cosmetic applications such as moisturizing, brightening and lightening, hair care, soothing and anti-inflammation, and many others.
