Dietary supplements are defined as products that contain at least one dietary ingredient and can be consumed orally. The rising popularity of sports-based and athletic performance-enhancement supplements drives the global market. The emerging consumer needs to address daily requirements of micronutrients in the body, and increased consumer spending on health & wellness products is expected to fuel the food supplements market. Furthermore, initiatives taken by several governments to support the production of herbal supplements are expected to impact market growth positively. For instance, in July 2020, the Indian government announced an economic stimulus package under the Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan and allocated USD 535 million to the herbal sector to promote herbal cultivation.


COVID-19 Outbreak Surges the Demand for Immunity-Boosting Dietary Supplement Products


The sudden outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic has positively impacted the market growth. The long-term ramifications are still hard to forecast, as the global economy is struggling with this pandemic situation, and it can impact the global trade and supply chain of dietary supplement products. However, the high demand for human food supplements in developed as well as developing regions, since they provide a strong immune function and reduce the possibility of health threats, is expected to leverage the product growth throughout the forecast period positively.


Since the beginning of the pandemic, the increased threat of COVID-19 infection has encouraged consumers to incorporate immune-boosting products and supplements in their daily lives. This is serving as an opportunity for these supplement manufacturers. Moreover, the availability of a wide range of dietary additives across e-commerce platforms and the cost-effectiveness of basic product varieties such as minerals and vitamin supplements contribute to boosting the market size.


DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS MARKET TRENDS



Rising Demand for Personalized Supplements to Augment Market Growth


Rising awareness about the concept of personalized or tailor-made nutritional products and dietary supplements has ignited the interest of consumers across different parts of the globe and is impacting the growth of the dietary additives market positively. Technological advancements and increased investment in the research & development of nutraceuticals and supplement products are expected further to boost the market growth in the upcoming years. For instance, in January 2019, Nestle S.A. opened its first R&D centre in Ireland with an investment of USD 31.46 million. The new R&D centre will focus on scientific research to support novelties in developing infant nutrition products and milk-based materials for the global market.


DRIVING FACTORS


Rising Focus on Preventive Healthcare Measures to Favor Growth


With the increasing prevalence of age and lifestyle-related diseases, consumers are becoming increasingly conscious of preventive healthcare measures. They hence are inclining towards health-benefitting products such as food additives, which is expected to drive the global market. Increasing innovation by key as well as small market players is further augmenting the growth of the market at the global level. For instance, in March 2018, The GHT companies announced the launch of a new product line of 100% vegan nutritives. The new products are manufactured to meet the increasing demand for animal-free plant-based products that aid weight management.


Growing Focus on Quality Supplements Production to Spur Demand


Various initiatives are taken by regulatory authorities such as the Food and Drug Administration of the U.S. (USFDA) to ensure only high-quality and safe dietary and food supplements are sold in the market to promote the use of dietary supplements among consumers. Furthermore, increasing usage of clean-labeled, safe, and organic ingredients in the production of food nutritive additives is projected to enhance the market demand for these supplements during the forecast years.


Another growth-promoting factor for the human dietary supplements market is the increasing interest of people in sports and bodybuilding. Athletes and sportspersons are becoming increasingly interested in sports nutrition products and supplements to enhance their endurance and boost their performance. The inclination towards sports nutrition products and vitamin nutritives for their endurance enhancement and performance-enhancing factors will bode well for the market in the forthcoming years.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


High Price of the Dietary Supplements to Restrain Market Growth


The increasing price of regular supplements and the high price of premiumized supplements are expected to restrain the growth of the dietary supplements market. The rising consumer inclination towards organic products and the limited availability of organic supplements can further hamper the market growth. However, supplement manufacturers are embarking on technological advancement to minimize the production cost of the product to make products available for consumers at affordable prices.


SEGMENTATION


By Type Analysis



Vitamin Supplements to Lead Global Marketplace


Among various types of dietary supplements, vitamins are the most widely consumed supplements across the globe, followed by minerals and proteins. In many developed and developing countries, the deficiency of vital vitamins such as Vitamin A, B, C, and E among the population is becoming very common, and hence to fulfill the required daily dose of vitamins, consumers are highly inclined towards vitamin supplements.


In pregnant women, the elderly, and some adults, a lack of certain minerals can lead to serious health diseases due to which the demand for mineral additives is increasing rapidly among the aforementioned population group. Protein supplements are expected to witness high demand in the forthcoming years owing to the rising consumer inclination towards weight management, bodybuilding, and endurance. The protein and amino acid additives are predicted to grow at a speedy pace on account of their diverse use in muscle growth, fatigue reduction, increased mental focus, and improved recovery.


By Form Analysis


Tablet Form of Supplements to Hold a Prominent Share in the Market


Globally, the tablet form is the leading form in the global supplements market, followed by capsules. High affordability, convenient packaging, and higher shelf-life of tablet and capsule supplements are some of the crucial reasons behind their high demand in the global market. The dosage is well-defined in capsules, soft gel, and tablet form, and hence they are preferred over liquid and other available forms. Furthermore, the surging demand for protein supplements is predicted to create a massive scope of growth for powder supplements, as most of the protein supplements available in the market are present in powder form.


The demand for liquid supplements with functional properties is rising, and hence dietary supplement manufacturers are investing in this area to gain maximum profits. The high absorption rate of liquid vitamins, high bioavailability of liquid supplements, and easy-to-promote synergy of nutrients with liquid supplements are predicted to support the growth of the segment.
