How well is SA's vitamins and supplements market?

19 Feb 2018

Stimulated by an ageing global population and increased focus on health, wellness and preventative healthcare, there has been significant growth in the vitamins and dietary supplements market. Interestingly, the global market has managed to appeal to all consumer segments with no discrimination in terms of dietary habits, culture, age or gender. We investigate if the South African market has followed the global growth trend or become another victim of the sluggish South African economy.

Insight Survey’s latest South African Vitamins and Supplements Landscape Report 2018 carefully unfolds the global and local Vitamins and Supplements markets based on the latest information and research. It looks at market trends, drivers and restraints as well as market growth to present an objective overview of the South African Vitamins and Supplements market and its future.

The global Vitamins and Dietary Supplements market was valued at US$132.8bn in 2016 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8% up to 2022. The Asia-Pacific region continues to lead the global market and is expected to dominate the market up to 2022. Within the Asia-Pacific region, China, Japan and South Korea represent the three largest markets and Dietary Supplements is currently the leading product market segment.

Despite the challenging economy, value sales in the Vitamins market increased significantly between 2012 and 2017 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.9% over the period. The Dietary Supplements market also increased at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.9% over the same period.

Following global trends, growth within the South African market continues to be fuelled by higher levels of consumer awareness about well-being and preventative healthcare. There has also been a strong trend in terms of self-care and online purchasing. Furthermore, the increase in the prevalence of lifestyle diseases and the rise of the active lifestyle trend has significantly driven sales of Vitamins and Supplements. Immune-Boosting Supplements and Probiotics have gained massive popularity as boosting immunity and good digestive health remains high on the health ‘wish list’.

However, the Vitamins and Supplements industry also faces several challenges that could hamper the strong growth being witnessed. For example, the tightening of regulatory requirements and legislation governing Complementary and Alternative Medicines (CAM’S) under which Vitamins and Dietary Supplements are classified continues to pose a significant challenge for the growth of the local Vitamins and Supplements market.

The South African Vitamins and Supplements Landscape Report 2018 (97 pages) provides a dynamic synthesis of industry research, examining the local and global Vitamins and Supplements industry from a uniquely holistic perspective, with detailed insights into the entire value chain – from manufacturing to retailing, market size trends, industry trends, industry drivers & challenges, competitor and pricing analysis.
