The global nutraceuticals CMO market is rapidly in­creasing driven by the increasing benefits that nu­traceuticals CMOs offer. India’s nutraceuticals CMO sector is mirroring global trends, leveraging advantages offered by CMOs with respect to lower overhead costs, bet­ter shipping options, thorough lab testing, technological ad­vancements, and customization of offerings. The rise in nu­traceuticals adoption with propelling consumer awareness about health and wellness is further expected to drive the growth of this sector.

Yet, the sector is riddled with challenges in the form of after-effects of the pandemic which has led to disruption of raw materials supply in a growing market. Additionally, lack of scientific evidence to support benefits of nutraceuticals, challenges of finding reliable suppliers, potential reactions with medications, unreliability of product efficacy, lack of clarity regarding dosage, and diverse client requirements pose significant hurdles for the sector. Nevertheless, the Telangana-based S D LIFE SCIENCE INDIA expertly addresses these challenges by focusing on quality, purity, and potency of product. Backed by robust R&D capabilities, the company is prominent as a leading reliable CMO partner in the nutraceuticals domain.
