Despite the promising growth prospects, the plant-based API market faces certain restraints that may hinder its growth potential. One key constraint is the limited availability of raw materials for plant-based APIs. Many plant species used for their medicinal or nutritional properties are facing challenges such as habitat destruction, over-harvesting, and climate change, which could impact the availability and quality of plant-based APIs.

Another major restraint for the plant-based API market is the regulatory challenges associated with the use of plant-derived ingredients in pharmaceuticals and other industries. Strict regulations and quality standards imposed by regulatory authorities can pose hurdles for companies developing and marketing plant-based APIs. Compliance with these standards can be time-consuming and costly, leading to delays in product launches and increased production costs.
