In recent years, the steady growth of demand for plant extracts in the world, especially in Europe and America, and other developed countries, has greatly stimulated the development of the industry.

At present, in many countries of the world, plant medicine has become a more popular drug for consumers, but there are great differences in the consumption of plant drugs from different countries and regions. Globally, natural medicines are mainly concentrated in three regions: Asia, Europe, and the United States. According to Freedonia Group, the market demand for natural medicines will grow at a rate of 13% per annum. Multi-channel information shows that the increasing demand for natural medicines in western countries is an important factor that drives the rapid rise of the natural drug market.

25% of the world’s chemical drugs were originally originated from plants. The most famous ones are aspirin, quinine, digitalis, vincristine, and taxol. At present, there are two trends in the research and development of plant medicine: one is the component research method represented by the United States, and the two is the component research method of the EU countries represented by Germany.

Recent studies have proved that a large number of modern diseases, such as coronary heart disease, cancer, hypertension, and diabetes, have a great relationship with people’s daily diet. It is recognized that some natural herbal extracts can be health-care and even have the effect of preventing and treating certain diseases. It is better to use natural healthy food to prevent disease than to take medicine after the disease.

The demand for plant chemicals is growing at the international level. Consumer demand for organically grown herb products continues to grow, and the trend will continue; the growing number of plant formulations with sufficient scientific evidence helps to close the distance between healthy food stores and the mass market.
