Stringent government regulations and labeling requirements are major restraints for the functional food market. Companies in the market have to comply with strict regulations regarding the ingredients used, health claims made, and packaging of functional food products. These regulations can increase the production costs and limit the marketing capabilities of companies, thus restraining the market growth.

Lack of awareness and skepticism among consumers about the efficacy of functional foods is another major restraint for the market. Despite increasing awareness, some consumers still question the health benefits of functional foods and are hesitant to make the switch from traditional products. This lack of consumer trust can hinder the market growth and slow down the adoption of functional foods in the mainstream market.
