1. **Product Overview and Scope of Licorice Extracts**
Licorice extract is a natural bioactive compound derived from the roots and rhizomes of *Glycyrrhiza* species, including *G. uralensis*, *G. inflata*, and *G. glabra*. Valued for both medicinal and nutritional applications, it is rich in glycyrrhizic acid, glycyrrhizin, and flavonoids. Its pharmacological benefits include enhancing spleen function, replenishing energy (qi), detoxifying, alleviating cough and phlegm, and pain relief. In cosmetics, licorice extract is prized for its antioxidant, skin-whitening, and anti-inflammatory properties.
2. **Global Market Landscape**
The global Licorice Extracts market is projected to reach USD 0.84 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9% over the forecast period.
