The report analyzes the global vitamins market's drivers, restraints/challenges, and the effect they have on the demands during the projection period. In addition, the report explores emerging opportunities in the vitamins industry.
Vitamins are defined as a group of organic substances required in sufficient quantities to promote normal cell growth, function, and development. These essential compounds are mainly required in small quantities and most vitamins are obtained from natural food items. Currently, around 13 vitamins have been recognized with every vitamin performing a specific function and being obtained from certain sources. For instance, the best source of vitamin D is sunlight since it is not available in large quantities in food products. On the other hand, humans have to rely on external supplements for sufficient amounts of vitamin C whereas studies suggest that dogs can produce as much vitamin C as required. The 13 essential vitamins are vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin K, vitamin B12, vitamin B1, vitamin B3, vitamin B6, pantothenic acid, vitamin B12, biotin, and folate. In general, vitamins are classified into 2 main categories that are water-soluble vitamins and fat-soluble vitamins. Every vitamin has an essential role to play in improved bodily performance and deficiency of any vitamin can lead to health problems.
Increasing the number of patients with vitamin deficiency to create a higher market demand
The global vitamins market is projected to grow owing to the increasing number of people globally with some form of vitamin deficiency. Consuming insufficient amounts of vitamins can lead to several medical problems including irritability, fatigue, and changes in skin or hair. The exact symptom depends on the type of vitamin deficiency since each vitamin type has a certain role to play. For instance, vitamin D deficiency can easily lead to fractures as a result of weak bones. On the other hand, folate deficiency causes anemia which is known to further translate to weakness and fatigue. Research indicates that not consuming enough vegetables, fruits, fiber, whole grains, beans, fortified dairy products, and lentils increases the risk of associated medical concerns including cancer and heart diseases. One of the main reasons for medical professionals observing more people with vitamin deficiency is the growing addiction to fast food and edible items that are not vitamin-rich sources. Vitamin D is considered important in maintaining muscle, teeth, and bone health. Since food is already a poor source of vitamin D, the quantity of vitamin D is further reduced when only fast food is consumed at regular intervals. Additionally, certain vitamins such as iron and B vitamins may be lost during food processing and must be added back to the food product once the processing is complete. As per the National Institutes of Health (NIH), more than 1 billion people across the globe have vitamin D deficiency. The growing awareness about the impact of vitamin deficiency on overall health is causing more people to spend on food and supplements that provide an adequate amount of vitamins.
Health concerns associated with high amounts of vitamins may cause growth restriction
The global vitamins market growth is projected to be restricted by the increasing health concerns over excess consumption of vitamins. These organic compounds are essential for overall health but only in limited quantities. Excess intake or exposure to vitamins can lead to health risks. For instance, higher quantities of vitamin C can lead to kidney stones and gastrointestinal issues. On the other hand, excess exposure to vitamin A leads to more serious conditions such as birth defects and symptoms of hypervitaminosis A that include skin disorders, hair loss, and pseudotumor cerebri. Hence vitamins must only be consumed in limited quantities and under the guidance of trained medical or health professionals.
Increasing revenue in nutraceutical and supplements industries to create growth opportunities
The global vitamins industry is expected to grow due to the increasing number of players operating in the nutraceutical and health supplements industries. These companies invest heavily in producing vitamins and minerals to be consumed externally to reach daily nutrition targets in individuals with health conditions and vitamin deficiency. In recent times, the number of product launches has increased rapidly along with fast expansion in new and emerging markets. In November 2024, CISCAREX, a Berlin-based new company founded by researchers that led to the discovery of vitamin A(5), announced the commercial launch of a first-of-its-kind A(5) dietary supplement called MIN A5(R). It is available in capsule form and contains a natural plant extract. The company expects to tap into the food and cosmetics market with the new launch along with the pharmaceutical industry. Vitamin A(5) is a newly identified organic compound in the last 80 years. On the other hand, in September 2021, Centrum announced its entry into the Indian market with the launch of Haleon, a Centrum Multivitamin range with 4 multivitamin variants.
The vitamins market players have been at the forefront of experimenting with new packaging and product delivery systems to tap into a broader group of audience. In July 2024, Henry Blooms, an Australian supplements brand launched its vitamins spray range in the US market as a result of high consumer awareness and acceptance.
Managing quality control operations and navigating complex regulatory hurdles to pose primary challenges
The vitamins industry growth is expected to be challenged by the complexities associated with managing the quality or purity of the vitamins. Since these compounds are consumed regularly, the impact of impure or contaminants-containing vitamins can lead to severe health risks. Additionally, entering new markets with vitamin supplements or medicinal products is extremely difficult due to the intricate regulatory demands laid down by government agencies. Some of the other market challenges include resource-intensive research making it difficult for new entrants to invest in the industry for vitamins.
