Nootropics Market: Global Size, Share, Trends, Growth and Forecast 2022-2032

Nootropics are compounds, supplements, drugs, or other substances that typically claim to enhance cognitive functionality, specifically executive functions, creativity, motivation, focus, intelligence and memory, in healthy individuals. They can be natural or synthetic and are often referred to as smart drugs, cognitive enhancers, memory enhancers, mood enhancers, intelligent enhancers or neuron enhancers because of their ability to improve brain performance and high-level cognitive abilities.

Nootropics are available in both prescription and non-prescription type, where prescription nootropics are medications consumed to counteract medical conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, ADHD and narcolepsy, while the non-prescription drugs instead of treating diseases, are consumed for increasing concentration abilities or brain performance due to their cholinergic mechanisms.

Herbs, vitamins, phospholipids, amino acids, choline sources, antioxidants, and psychedelics are some examples of nootropics. Out of 80 different categories of nootropics, few act for a short-term, providing a few hours of temporarily enhanced energy and abilities, while others work over long-term cognitive health and mental performance if taken consistently over a period of time.

The global nootropics market size is expected to expand at a CAGR of around 12-16% over the period of next 5 years.
