Emerging Trends in White Mulberry Leaf Extract Market White mulberry leaf extract is moving from generic botanicals to standardized, clinically proven formulations from 2024 to 2026, as manufacturers focus on increasing DNJ concentration in their products and developing new ways to deliver them. Lucintel's analysis of the market demonstrates standardization and the function ingredient crossover as the latest trends in supplier innovation. • DNJ Standardization and Strength: Manufacturers are competing to increase extract concentration to the level of the active compound, proven by Naturalin Bio-Resources releasing an ultra-concentrated extract in November 2025 at 30% DNJ concentration, compared to typical 1% DNJin mass market supplements. High standardized extracts will continue to command a high price, because customers are demanding real doses of therapeutic adjacency. • Functional Food-and-beverage Crossover: Mulberry leaf extract moves beyond the supplement capsules to tea, powder and even new protein forms. This is demonstrated by Kaiko's July 2024 launch of combining mulberry DNJ with silkworm protein for blood sugar control after a meal. This crossover to food formats will continue to expand the consumer base of the ingredient from only supplement users. • Weight Management: In 2024-2025, approximately 68% of weight loss supplement users had begun to include mulberry extract, and these formulations most often included green tea extract and conjugated linoleic acid. Positioning mulberry in the weight management market will continue to drive this ingredient into the metabolic and health products market from the diabetes market. • Organic and Clean Label: Manufacturers are striving for organic certifications and the GRAS status to meet the clean-label demand of North America and Europe. This will afford access to premium market formulations. • Regional Supply Consolidation: Chinese producers, especially those in Shaanxi province, are consolidating almost exclusively the manufacturing capacity for extracts. This consolidation suggests market segmentation where high-DNJ, clinically validated extracts will drive higher margins. Extracts will be offered for mass market supplements as lower grade, commoditized extracts. Investments in standardization for potency and functional food formats will enable suppliers to dominate a larger share as the ingredient becomes more main stream for metabolic health products. Recent Developments in the White Mulberry Leaf Extract Market 2024 and 2026 activities across white mulberry leaf extract were around achieving organic certification, partnerships for clinical research, and the launch of new technologies. In this period, Lucintel noted an emphasis in Chinese extract producers on obtaining organic certification and quality credentials, with downstream clients becoming more innovative. • Organic Certification Milestones: Xi'an Lyphar Biotech received USDA organic certification for its mulberry leaf extract production in March 2024 for the entire supply chain from organic farming to the final extraction. This certification allows direct access to high end North American retail where verified sourcing of organic products is mandatory. • Clinical Research Partnerships: In June 2024, Hunan Nutramax formed a partnership with the University of California, Davis, for a 3-year clinical research program to evaluate the effect of varying concentrations of DNJ on the management of diabetes and the development of appropriate dosing standards. For manufacturers, partnerships with reputable academic institutions provide the much needed clinical substantiation to support extended product claims. • GRAS for Food Applications: Naturalin Bio-Resources received GRAS status on its ultra-concentrated 30% DNJ extract in November 2025. This removed the substantial obstacle that previously limited the use of mulberry extract to dietary supplements. • Novel Protein-Extract Hybrid Technology: Kaiko woven silk protein, launched in Japan in July 2024, combines DNJ and silk protein in a single protein source rather than a standalone extract into a functional food. • Retail Format Diversification: Traditional Medicinals demonstrates growing interest in formats beyond capsules with the launch of their tea in infusion and ready to drink formats in January 2024. This demonstrates signs of an industry maturing in two different directions. First, upstream producers are seeking and receiving certifications which give them the ability to sell in higher valued market tiers. Second, downstream brands are not content with selling product only in traditional capsule formats. As marketplace competition increases, expect more innovation in the certification and invention of new formats respectively. Strategic Growth Opportunities in the White Mulberry Leaf Extract Market The maturing of DNJ standards and the creation of clinical evidence has allowed white mulberry leaf extract suppliers to innovate beyond the standard supplement capsule revenue stream. According to Lucintel, during the 2024 - 2026 period, the largest opportunities with the most unfilled margin include functional beverages, therapeutic adjacent markets, and the Western clean-label landscape. • Functional Beverages and Foods: Mulberry-derived DNJ is moving beyond supplement capsules into ready-to-drinks and protein formats as illustrated by Kaiko's silkworm and mulberry hybrid product launch in Japan, in July 2024. This Hendsakul supports the opportunity to move into everyday food and beverages and expand well beyond the supplement buyer market. • High-potency Clinical Formulations: The DNJ extract from Naturalin, which is an ultra-concentrated 30% extract, and which was launched in November 2025, with GRAS certification, is geared towards clinical research focused supplement formulators. This premium offering is well above the commoditized 1% DNJ. • Academic and Clinical Trial Partnerships: Similar to the pathway of Hunan Nutramax, partnerships to fund university research creates more academic clinical evidence and supports advanced regulatory and marketing claims. • Organic and Clean-label Market Access: EU and USDA organic certifications, as achieved by Xi'an Lyphar Biotech in March 2024, grant access to an additional market focused on premium sourcing. • Combination Weight-management Formulations: Using research on combination of mulberry extract and green tea extract and conjugated linoleic acid, which is already used by around 68% of the weight-loss supplement consumers, targets the broader metabolic health domain. In the coming years, it will be essential to consider high-potency clinically supported extracts and functional food cross-overs as separate markets rather than as segments of the supplement category. Companies that differentiate themselves by creating dedicated resources specific to these market segments will have an advantage over competitors that continue to sell low-DNJ capsules. White Mulberry Leaf Extract Market Drivers and Challenges White mulberry leaf extract demand will continue to grow according to Lucintel, due to an increase in the incidence of diabetes and the preference of consumers for natural blood sugar solutions. Synthetic alternatives and supply risk concentration will become more difficult for competitors to manage. The prevalence of diabetes will reach 422 million people according to the World Health Organization and will continue to increase demand for natural glycemic management solutions. Drivers • Standardization of DNJ: Naturalin Bio-Resources launched a 30% DNJ extract in November, which has set a new industry benchmark of standardization. Formulators are likely to avoid commodity extracts. • Clinical Studies: Stronger therapeutic-adjacent marketing claims are likely to boost market demand for Nutramax's clinical studies in partnership with UC Davis. • Capacity: The demand for natural glycemic management ingredients is anticipated to remain strong. Manufacturing capacity expansion will help supply keep pace with demand. • Manufacturing Capacity Expansion: The opening of Shaanxi Bolin Biotechnology's organic certified extraction facility in August 2025 will allow for a 200% increase in production. The extraction of natural mulberry leaf extract will allow for a positive meeting of supply and demand. • Product Innovation: Kaiko's 2024 launch of their silkworm and mulberry protein in Japan is just one of many examples of how new styles of product delivery are allowing ingredients to cross from supplements to functional foods and beverages. Having the flexibility to modify product formats will help companies reach more customers outside of the supplement shopping crowd. Challenges • Price Competition: Other ingredients such as berberine, gymnema and even synthetic DNJ have price sensitive private label tenders making it difficult to maintain profit margins. • Moderate Competition: 38.5% of the market is currently in the hands of several producers in Shaanxi, China, meaning global consumers are limited to that region and therefore vulnerable to disrupted supply. • Uncertainty in Extract Cost: No matter what the U.S. policy on Chinese imports of botanicals is, price volatility is inevitable for extracts sourced from China. Standardization and diabetic demand is growing quickly, but competition and a concentration of suppliers in China make it difficult to maintain price and sourcing goals. Manufacturers that have a variety of sourcing and clinical studies will be strongest in the next 5 years.
