The Kava Root Extract Market is valued at USD 2 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 18.8% to reach USD 9.4 billion by 2034.The Kava Root Extract Market focuses on the cultivation, processing, and commercialization of kava—a traditional Pacific Island root known for its calming and anxiolytic properties. Derived from the *Piper methysticum* plant, kava extract is primarily consumed in supplement, beverage, and herbal remedy forms. It is widely used for stress relief, sleep enhancement, and mood support. As consumers increasingly seek natural alternatives to pharmaceuticals for anxiety and insomnia, kava has re-emerged in wellness markets across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Its integration into functional drinks, dietary supplements, and alternative medicine systems is shaping demand across both traditional herbal channels and modern wellness spaces. The kava root extract market experienced a resurgence driven by wellness trends and the rising popularity of adaptogens and plant-based relaxation aids. Functional beverage brands introduced kava-based elixirs, tonics, and shots, promoting them as alcohol-free options for social relaxation. Nutraceutical firms launched kava capsules blended with magnesium or L-theanine for nighttime support. Regulatory shifts in Europe and North America clarified allowable kava concentrations, encouraging cautious but renewed commercial exploration. Meanwhile, Pacific Island nations such as Fiji and Vanuatu invested in sustainable farming practices and export capacity to meet global demand, highlighting the cultural and economic value of kava as a natural export. The kava root extract market is expected to gain further traction as research deepens around its potential in mental health support and anxiety relief. Innovation will drive the development of kava-infused sparkling waters, chewables, and wellness gummies. Ethical sourcing, traceability, and fair-trade certifications will become important market differentiators, especially for brands positioning kava as a cultural heritage ingredient. Challenges around liver safety perceptions will likely be addressed through standardization, clinical trials, and education. As consumers increasingly favor natural, non-addictive solutions for stress and sleep, kava will continue to evolve from its traditional roots into a modern therapeutic and lifestyle product.
