The consumption of multivitamin and mineral supplements increases nutrient intakes and helps people get the recommended amounts of vitamins and minerals when they cannot or do not meet these needs from food alone. People who don’t get enough vitamins and minerals from food are on low-calorie diets, have a poor appetite, or avoid certain foods (such as strict vegetarians and vegans) opt to take multivitamin and mineral supplements. The health care providers also recommend multivitamins and mineral supplements to patients with certain medical conditions such as osteoporosis, anemia, and many others.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has estimated that more than 2 billion people worldwide experience deficiencies in the intake of essential vitamins and minerals through their regular diet.

Therefore, the increasing demand for multivitamin and mineral supplements to meet regulatory dietary allowance (RDA) is anticipated to drive the market.
