Market CAGR for vitamin and mineral supplements is being driven by the growing geriatric population and children worldwide and has improved consumers' spending on dietary supplements over the past years. Various food standards and governments are updating the regulations and approvals for the overproduction of vitamins & supplements that have made the market more competitive. Moreover, the growing focus of consumers on preventative healthcare products has enhanced the effectiveness of production and marketing efforts. Manufacturers increasingly incorporate the latest technologies with high production efficiency to serve these products. The rising acceptance among consumers and heightened product innovations would further assure the growth of the revenue of vitamin and mineral supplements.
Additionally, nutritional imbalance has been increasing as people are eating more and more junk food, coupled with a sedentary lifestyle, and this is becoming a major issue and leading to the early onset of many diseases and disorders and even untimely death. Deficiency is being met by various mineral and vitamin supplements, and their popularity is rising as the healthy lifestyle trend paces itself. For instance, in August 2021, Nestlé Health Science completed its acquisition of the Bountiful Co's core brands, including Nature's Bounty. This acquisition will help Nestlé solidify its position in the nutritional supplements market. Through various acquisitions, Nestlé aims to strengthen its mineral, vitamin, and herbal product range.
Furthermore, the mounting awareness amongst people regarding the benefits associated with healthy lifestyles is leading to the elevating requirement for mineral boosters in developed and developing countries. Recently, prominent players have launched innovative supplements with high efficacy and long shelf life.

The vitamin and mineral supplements market segmentation, based on type, includes vitamins, minerals, and blends. The vitaminS segment dominated the market, accounting for 35% of market revenue (44.71 Billion). In developing economies, category growth is driven by rising instances of vitamin deficiency and growing awareness about the health benefits of vitamins. However, mineral is the fastest-growing category owing to the increasing consumer awareness about the applications of mineral supplements.
The vitamin and mineral supplements market segmentation, based on distribution channel, includes store-based and non-store-based. The store-based category generated the most income (70.4%) owing to its product delivery at discounted prices under a single roof. Separate product shelves in this retail deliver an easy shopping experience to customers, which has resulted in increased footfalls. However, non-store-based is the fastest-growing category owing to the growing popularity of e-commerce outlets, and the increasing number of smartphones, especially in the developing regions, drives the market growth.
The vitamin and mineral supplements market segmentation is based on end-user, men, women, and unisex. The women category generated the most income as women have become overtly conscious about their physical appearance; hence they are inclined towards products that help in enhancing their inherent beauty and highlighting certain facial features. However, unisex is the fastest-growing category owing to adults' strong requirement for nutrients.
