Botanical Supplements to Lead the Way for the Global Dietary Supplements Market

Dietary supplements can be divided into four types: vitamin supplements, fatty acid supplements, mineral supplements, and botanical supplements. Of these, botanical supplements are expected to be the largest segment in the global dietary supplements market by the end of the forecast period. Botanical supplements comprise plant parts containing beneficial compounds such as roots, barks, leaves, or stems. The growing preference for a more ‘naturally aligned’ diet and lifestyle is helping the demand for botanical dietary supplements. The combination of several beneficial organic compounds present in many botanical supplements also aids the botanical dietary supplements market.

The global dietary supplements market is currently led by Asia Pacific, due to the massive and growing demand for supplements from the populous region. Asia Pacific is gradually becoming more accepting of Western culture, which will help the dietary supplements market grow in the region. The traditional consumption of many botanical dietary supplements in Asia Pacific countries will lend credibility to the market for the same. This will help the latter grow if products from global companies could be priced competitively alongside locally grown produce.

The false promises made by some past and present manufacturers of dietary supplements are harming the global dietary supplements market in two ways. The negative impression made by these companies is hard to erase, although the CRN survey shows that many Americans are of the mind to allow the dietary supplements market another chance. However, the stringent regulations on new dietary supplements, imposed in part due to the unreasonable and off-hand claims made by some producers, is expected to have a longer lasting adverse impact on the global dietary supplements market than the negative public image.
