Diet plays a significant role in maintaining a healthy life.
The nutrients from the diet are necessary to carry out the normal functioning
of the body. Due to the change in lifestyle, the eating habits of people around
the world have changed in the past few years. Many people tend to eat more
convenient fast foods rather than homemade food. This change in the eating
habits of the people affects their nutrient intake. The nutrients essential
for the body, particularly the micronutrients are rarely found in fast
foods. Lack of these nutrients in the diet causes micronutrient deficiency in the body. Micronutrient deficiency can develop several symptoms including goiter,
anemia, night blindness, scurvy, rickets, and dermatitis. To maintain the
optimum level of nutrients in the body, people should consume nutritious foods
containing all the essential nutrients. Many people consume dietary supplements
to compensate for the lack of nutrients in the food. The dietary supplements come
in different forms including pills, capsules, powder, and liquid. There are
different types of available in the market including vitamins, botanicals,
minerals, proteins & amino acids, fibers & specialty carbohydrates, and
omega fatty acids.
Growing Awareness Regarding Preventive Healthcare Augment
the Growth of the Global Dietary Supplements Market
According to Infinium Global Research and Consulting
Solutions, the global dietary supplements market was valued at USD 163.1 billion
in 2019 and it is expected to grow with a CAGR of 6.5% over the forecast period
of 2020-2026. The growth of the market is driven by the rise in awareness
regarding preventive healthcare. In the past few years, the concept of preventive
healthcare has come into popularity. As the name suggests, preventive
healthcare focuses on the preventive measures for certain health issues rather
than curing them when they occur. Moreover, the major media channels play an important role in spreading awareness about preventive healthcare. These
media channels share information regarding preventive healthcare and products such as nutritious foods and dietary supplements. This, in turn,
increases the demand for dietary supplements.
The survey conducted by Infinium Global Research and
Consulting Solutions found most of the people across the world consume dietary
supplement at least once in a day. While a considerable part of the population consumes
dietary supplements twice a day. The higher consumption of the dietary
supplement is largely due to the growing awareness regarding the products
available in the market and their effect on health. The dietary supplements
help in maintaining fitness along with keeping the number of diseases at bay.
Moreover, the availability of a number of OTC dietary supplements in the market makes
them more accessible to consumers. Thus, people can easily buy dietary
supplements from the nearest pharmacy or retail stores. This, in turn, leads to
more consumption of dietary supplements.
