Immune Health Supplements Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers:
- Exponential rise in vitamin D deficiency: As people are working indoors and wearing extensive clothing, this makes a large population deficient in vitamin D. In fact, the surge in air pollution blocks the sunlight and eradicates the UVB radiation reaching the ground. The high level of particulate matter in the air acts as a barrier, making it difficult for people to get a sufficient amount of vitamin D. A prominent disease caused by the lack of vitamin D is rickets, resulting in soft and weakened bones in young children and infants. According to the Journal of Orthopedics and Orthopedic Surgery in 2021, the rate of occurrence of rickets in the U.S. and Europe reached 2.9-27 per 100,000 individuals. These factors are compelling people to take a supplement of vitamin D, further augmenting the immune health supplements market growth during the assessed time.
- Rise in geriatric population: Dietary or immune health supplements are recommended for the elderly population to lower the risk of arthritis or osteoporosis. The most vital vitamins for seniors are vitamin C, B12, D, E, calcium, and Omega-3 help people age well. Researchers suggest that due to less physical activity and changes in metabolism, older adults need fewer calories, yet increased nutrients. According to the World Health Organization, the share of the population aged 60 or above is projected to reach 2.1 billion by 2050. The rising elderly population is leading to increased demand for immune health supplements.
- Surge in dietary imbalances: The rising urbanization and altered lifestyle have led to various dietary imbalances and increased prevalence of poor immune health. For instance, according to the National Institutes of Health in March 2024, vitamin B12 deficiency was found in 12.5% of all adults aged 19 and older, and almost 12.3% of people were found deficient in vitamin B12 aged 60 and older. These prevailing deficiencies are instilling the need to have immune health supplements among the global population.
Challenges:
- High cost of immune health supplements: Formulating products requires a capital investment to undertake scientific research and to launch products with proven clinical results. Also, some of the supplements have naturally sourced ingredients that tend to be more expensive. This leads to the high cost of the final product, which is not affordable to purchase by a large population.
- Adverse effects on the immunity: Some of the supplements might show adverse effects, especially when combined with medicines. There is a persistence of efficacy and safety concerns among consumers.
