The report titled “Korea Nutraceuticals Market Outlook to 2021 – Rising Trust over Herbal Ingredients with Increasing use of Ginseng in Functional Foods to Foster Future Growth” by Ken Research suggested that nutraceuticals market in Korea would showcase a steady growth during the forecast period owing to the fast aging rate of population of Korea.

The per capita expenditure towards healthcare has also been one of the major driving forces for growing nutraceuticals market in Korea.
