Star Bio Pharma Global Pvt. Ltd., a B2B supplier of herbal extracts and nutraceutical ingredients, is strengthening its supply focus on curcumin, piperine and silymarin extracts to meet demand from nutraceutical manufacturers for standardised botanical ingredients.
The move comes amid growth in India’s nutraceutical industry, driven by increasing interest in preventive healthcare, functional nutrition and plant-based formulations. According to figures cited in the company’s announcement, India’s nutraceutical market was estimated at USD 30.37 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.6% between 2025 and 2030.
Curcumin, piperine and silymarin are used in formulations across dietary supplements, functional nutrition and wellness products. Manufacturers are increasingly focusing on ingredient consistency, standardisation, traceability, documentation and quality assurance alongside price and availability.
Pooja Rokade, director of Star Bio Pharma Global Pvt. Ltd., said manufacturers require dependable ingredients supported by consistent quality and appropriate documentation. She added that the company aims to support domestic and international customers through reliable sourcing and quality-focused ingredient supply.
The regulatory framework of the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) covers health supplements, nutraceuticals, foods for special dietary use and products containing botanicals. Compliance with applicable requirements remains an important consideration for manufacturers developing and marketing such products.
The company said the growing emphasis on quality assurance and transparent supply chains is creating opportunities for ingredient suppliers to support nutraceutical manufacturers serving domestic and export markets.
