“Rising Demand for Natural and Organic Pharmaceuticals”
A significant trend driving growth in the plant derivative drugs market is the rising consumer preference for natural and organic pharmaceuticals. With increasing awareness about synthetic drug side effects, patients and healthcare providers are leaning toward plant-based alternatives that offer therapeutic benefits with reduced adverse reactions. For instance, artemisinin, derived from Artemisia annua, has become a cornerstone in malaria treatment. Similarly, cannabidiol (CBD) from cannabis is gaining traction for managing chronic pain and neurological disorders. The trend is further fueled by expanding research on plant-derived bioactive compounds and their efficacy. This shift is boosting demand for plant-based drug formulations in various therapeutic segments.
