When "natural, functional and innovative" have become the key words in the food industry, new food ingredients are emerging as the core force driving the market. In the first half of 2025, the domestic new food raw material market witnessed an unprecedented explosive growth. The number of approvals matched that of the whole of last year, and the acceptance volume continued to rise. A batch of raw materials with both functionality and market potential were successively launched.

This "new raw material revolution" not only enriches the innovation toolbox of the food industry, but also indicates that the health food sector is about to undergo a new round of landscape reshaping.

As of now, the National Health Commission of China has approved 12 new food ingredients for marketing in 2025. The number of approvals in half a year is equivalent to that of the entire year of 2024. The types of new ingredients range from plant extracts to microbial strains, from functional components to natural products, providing diverse choices for food innovation.
