Star Bio Pharma Strengthens Supply of Curcumin, Piperine and Silymarin Extracts for Nutraceutical Manufacturers
India : 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, responding to growing demand from nutraceutical manufacturers for standardized botanical ingredients that can support consistent formulation, quality control and regulatory compliance.
India’s nutraceutical industry is expanding rapidly as preventive healthcare, functional nutrition, and botanical-based formulations gain greater acceptance. According to the Ministry of Food Processing Industries, India’s nutraceutical market was estimated at USD 30.37 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a 13.6% CAGR between 2025 and 2030. India accounted for an estimated 9.22% of global nutraceutical market revenue in 2023, highlighting the growing significance of the country in the global supply chain.
The nutraceutical ingredients segment is also witnessing sustained expansion. MarketsandMarkets estimates that India’s nutraceutical ingredients market will increase from approximately USD 5.76 billion in 2024 to USD 8.25 billion by 2029, representing a CAGR of 7.47%. The report identifies botanical extracts among the ingredient categories benefiting from increasing demand for plant-based and functional products.
Against this backdrop, curcumin, piperine, and silymarin remain relevant ingredients for manufacturers developing formulations across dietary supplements, functional nutrition and wellness categories. For B2B manufacturers, however, sourcing is increasingly moving beyond price and availability towards ingredient consistency, standardization, documentation, traceability, and quality assurance.
Ms. Pooja Rokade, Director, Star Bio Pharma Global Pvt. Ltd., said, “The nutraceutical industry is moving towards a more quality-conscious sourcing environment, where manufacturers need dependable ingredients backed by consistency and appropriate documentation. Curcumin, piperine, and silymarin are established botanical ingredients, but their value to a formulation depends significantly on the quality and consistency of the ingredient being supplied. Our focus is to support manufacturers with reliable sourcing and quality-oriented ingredient supply as they scale their formulations in domestic and international markets.”
The regulatory environment is further reinforcing the need for responsible ingredient sourcing. FSSAI’s framework covers health supplements, nutraceuticals, foods for special dietary use, speciality foods containing botanicals and other categories, placing greater importance on appropriate ingredient use and compliant product development.
For nutraceutical manufacturers, the next phase of growth is therefore expected to place greater emphasis on standardized botanical extracts, transparent supply chains, and quality-focused sourcing partnerships, as Indian companies increasingly serve both domestic and export-orientated markets.
