Furthermore, the global vitamin supplements market has also been experiencing a boom due to the growing incidence of diseases such as osteomalacia, night blindness, digestive disorders, and other vitamin deficiency diseases. The increasing expenditure on healthcare, growing interest in wellness, and improving diagnostics are also helping the global vitamins market post strong growth rates.
