Nutritional Supplements in the U.S., 7th Edition
Focused targeting and specialized supplementation are the key trends shaping the nutritional supplements market over the next five years as sales continue to maintain a steady, moderate growth. Consumers are looking for more condition-specific dietary supplements that provide specific health benefits as well as eschew multivitamins.
Nutritional Supplements Market Trends & Opportunities
Digestive health supplements and probiotics will continue to see double-digit growth as a dietary supplements industry category, while the bone and joint categories will continue to decline. Brain health is another important area of supplementation, spurred on by an aging population worried more and more about losing cognitive function with age. Dietary supplements marketers are also focusing more products directly towards women, with supplements supporting fertility and pregnancy becoming a major component of women’s supplements. These trends will push sales in the nutritional supplements industry to $18.3 billion by 2020, achieving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2% between 2016 and 2020.
