By 2008, the entire functional foods market was worth over an estimated US$80 billion, with the US holding a majority share in the nutraceuticals market (35%) followed by Japan (25%). Included in this is the ever-growing European market (currently estimated at US$8 billion). India and China are the two major countries known for their production of traditional functional food products and nutraceuticals, but other South-East Asian countries and Gulf nations are developing potential markets.
