Development course of the domestic raw material and processed herbs market
2001
Jambor, J. (PhytoPharm Kleka, Nowe Miasto n. Warta (Poland))
The domestic market of herbal medicines with almost 3000 authorized and implemented products is estimated to be about 200 milion USD. This is about 10 percent of the entire pharmaceutical market and almost 1/3 of the medicine market. The forecast for the next years is that the development of self-medication shall go together with an intensive development of the OTC medicines market, especially herbal medicines. The general manufacture of herbs in Poland is estimated to be about 20000 tons per year, including 1/5 from the natural resources and 4/5 from cultivation. There is an opinion that if the herbal raw material shall be treated by the cultivators as pharmaceutical raw material and the herbal processing shall change into a modern pharmaceutical industry, Poland may become an important manufacturer of raw material and processed herbs in the world
