The global dietary supplements market size is expected to grow by USD 327.4 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 8.9% from 2022 to 2030. The growing popularity of dietary supplements among the youth has been the prime factor to drive the demand for nutraceuticals. Also, the increased work hours and the need to maintain a healthy work-life balance have prompted the intake of essential nutrition in everyday life. Hence, the dietary supplements industry is likely to foresee a significant boost based on the heightened demand for food supplements and nutrition.
According to industry experts, the intake of dietary supplements varies among the population and is likely to be based on their demographics. For instance, a set of dietary supplements for an urban population living in metro cities would differ from those living in hilly or cold areas. As an example, the intake of Vitamin D in regular diets in the population from cold areas becomes more essential. Experts also recommend a prior consultation with dieticians and nutrition specialists to understand the impact of dietary supplements on an individual.

A huge population in the U.S. is now shifting towards adopting a healthy lifestyle. On the other hand, the emergence of new startups in the food industry with a major emphasis on nutraceuticals as a food product is expected to drive the trend of veganism in the U.S. Asia Pacific is the second leading regional market in terms of growth and expansion to offer lucrative potential opportunities.
