High costs associated with the extraction and production of bioactive ingredients pose a major restraint for the market. The specialized equipment and processes required for extraction, as well as the limited availability of certain bioactive ingredients, contribute to higher production costs and ultimately impact the affordability of products containing these ingredients.
Stringent regulatory requirements and approval processes also present a challenge for the bioactive ingredients market. The regulations governing the use of bioactive ingredients can vary by region, and manufacturers must navigate complex approval processes to ensure compliance. This can create barriers to market entry and hinder the growth of the industry.
