Overview:

The global milk thistle market is poised for substantial expansion, fueled by increasing consumer interest in herbal supplements and natural remedies. In 2025, the market is projected to reach a valuation of USD 110.5 million, marking a significant milestone in its growth trajectory. This expansion is driven by heightened awareness of milk thistle’s potential health benefits, particularly its role in liver health and detoxification.

Anticipations for the market’s future remain optimistic, with forecasts estimating a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5% from 2025 to 2035. This growth rate is indicative of the sustained demand and increasing adoption of milk thistle products across various consumer segments. By 2035, the market is expected to achieve a revenue forecast of USD 375.8 million, reflecting the continued positive trend.

Key drivers of market growth include the rising prevalence of liver-related ailments, coupled with a growing preference for natural and plant-based treatments. Consumers are increasingly seeking alternatives to traditional pharmaceuticals, which often come with undesirable side effects. Milk thistle, with its established history and perceived safety, is emerging as a popular option.

Regionally, North America and Europe currently hold significant market shares, driven by well-established healthcare systems and a strong consumer base that prioritizes health and wellness. However, the Asia Pacific region is expected to witness the highest growth rate during the forecast period, attributed to increasing disposable incomes and a growing awareness of herbal supplements in countries such as China and India.

The competitive landscape of the global milk thistle market is characterized by a mix of established players and emerging companies. These companies are focusing on product innovation, strategic partnerships, and expanding their distribution networks to gain a competitive edge. As consumer demand continues to rise, the market is expected to become increasingly dynamic.

The future outlook for the milk thistle market remains promising, with ongoing research and development activities aimed at further validating its health benefits, and driving product innovation.
