Global Vitamins and Herbal Dietary Supplements Market: Preventive Health takes Centre Stage, observes TMR

As more people realize the value of good health and well-being, the interest in and demand for vitamins and herbal dietary supplements has grown. Transparency Market Research finds that with growing awareness, the market for vitamins and herbal dietary supplements has been booming and several new companies have ventured into this lucrative space. In a report titled “Vitamins and Herbal Dietary Supplements Market - Global Industry Size, Market Share, Trends, Analysis, and Forecast 2016–2023”, TMR predicts that this market will register a healthy growth rate throughout the forecast period.


As indicated above, one of the most significant factors driving the global market is increased consumer awareness. Preventive healthcare has taken prime focus when it comes to lifestyle as well as dietary choices and consumers are now looking for products that will fulfil their various health and beauty needs. The rise of the informed consumer has compelled manufacturers of dietary supplements to bring to the table products that cater to their personalized demands and at the same time, offer improved effectiveness and safety. This has significantly benefited the market for vitamins and herbal dietary supplements.

The development of new sales and distribution channels has also augured well for the global market, a TMR analyst points out. The proliferation of ecommerce and the growing number of supermarkets, hypermarkets, and drugstores have aided the vitamins and herbal dietary supplements market. Internet sales have contributed considerably to this industry and this trend is likely to stay true throughout the forecast period.

Based on geography, the Europe market for vitamins and dietary supplements holds a substantial share, with consumers looking to improve their daily diet and up their vitamins and nutritional intake. The trend of consuming additional supplements in the region will, however, be hampered by consumers looking to fulfill their dietary requirements by eating a rich, well-balanced, and nutritious diet.

The Asia Pacific vitamins and herbal dietary supplements market is projected to be fueled by a rise in urban-based consumers with higher disposable incomes and greater awareness about nutritional deficits. In addition to this, hectic lifestyles of the working class population in countries such as India and China are anticipated to boost the demand for as well as sales of vitamins and herbal dietary supplements in the region.

The market in North America is propelled by a large geriatric population looking for ways to postpone aging or to age gracefully. This, combined with the presence of leading market players, the high accessibility of products, and the growing consumer awareness about health and wellness, is projected to support the market in this region.

Some of the leading players in the global vitamins and herbal dietary supplements market are Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc., Herbalife Ltd., Amway, Nestle S.A., Archer Daniels Midland Company, Otsuka Holdings Co., Ltd., Glanbia plc, and Abbott Laboratories.

Global Vitamins and Herbal Dietary Supplements Market to be Driven by Growing Demand for Indigenous Medicine

The top performing products in the U.S. dietary supplement market are exhibiting double-digit growth rate thanks to heightened consumer focus on health, improved industry regulation, and industry trends that are focused on globalization.


How safe are herbal dietary supplements?

The manufacture of herbal dietary supplements is regulated by the FDA in the United States, but is not subject to the same scientific scrutiny or regulations as food or drugs. For instance, herbal supplements manufacturers are required to follow good manufacturing practices in order to ensure that supplements are processed under uniform conditions and meet quality standards but they do not need approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) before launching their products in the market.

Nevertheless, the FDA regulates both dietary ingredients and finished dietary supplements. The FDA oversees dietary supplements under a different set of mandates than those that cover conventional foods and drugs. These are regulated under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA), which states that:

Dietary ingredients and dietary supplements that are adulterated or misbranded are prohibited to be marketed by product manufacturers and distributors.

FDA is responsible for taking action against any misbranded or adulterated dietary supplements after it is introduced in the market.

What are the core factors driving the growth of the vitamins and herbal dietary supplements market?

The demand for safe and naturally derived curative options persists among consumers. Consumers are more inclined towards the purchase of herbal products combined with government support for promoting the use of traditional medicine. For instance, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Ayurveda, and several other indigenous medicines are increasing their impact. Furthermore, the rising healthcare cost is also favoring the growth of the vitamins and herbal dietary supplements market as consumers are seeking alternate options for medical conditions.
There are several reasons for taking vitamin supplements, such as over-the-counter multivitamins. As per the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), vitamin supplements are recommended to be taken for:
  • Certain health conditions.
  • Individuals who eat a vegetarian or vegan diet.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
Are herbs and botanicals regulated by legislations in the European Union?

Yes. Traditional herbal medicines for human use are as much regulated as pharmaceutical products. A simplified registration procedure for the pharmaceutical legislation of traditional herbal medicinal products was introduced in 2004 that overcame the difficulties encountered by the member states earlier. The objective of the simplified registration procedure is to safeguard public health and eliminate misinterpretations and uncertainties about traditional botanical products that existed among the member states and allow the free movement of these products by introducing harmonized rules in the region. This has reverberated in the form of increased sales of herbal supplements and botanicals and many new companies have entered the dietary supplements space.

The vitamins, minerals, and health supplements market is highly fragmented and has immense opportunities for mergers and acquisitions. In recent years, both pharmaceutical companies and makers of consumer packaged goods (CPG) are gearing up to expand their consumer health division, which suggests that acquisitions in this space will continue to happen.
