Wellness Moves Mainstream
Grand View Research highlights increasing personal health awareness — fueled by the pandemic — as a key factor. Consumers are focusing on immunity, energy, vitality, cognitive function, and overall well-being, often to combat the effects of hectic routines and subpar diets. Nutritional deficiencies caused by processed foods and busy lifestyles continue to make supplements a regular part of daily routines.
Personalized Nutrition Gains Traction
A key trend shaping the forecast is the fast growth of personalized nutrition, driven by nutrigenomics, digital health platforms, and at-home diagnostics. Millennials, in particular, are increasingly interested in targeted products that include probiotics, nootropics, adaptogens, botanicals, and specialty herbal extracts. There is rising demand for solutions that promote gut health, stress resilience, hormonal balance, and mental well-being.
Clean Labels and Active Lifestyles Fuel Demand
The global fitness movement, along with a growing preference for natural, plant-based, and “clean label” products, continues to drive category growth. Brands are improving ingredient traceability, increasing sourcing transparency, and using sustainable packaging to meet consumer expectations.
Regulatory Divergence Creates Both Challenges and Opportunities
While inconsistent global regulatory standards create challenges for manufacturers, Grand View Research sees a potential benefit: companies that meet or surpass changing safety and quality standards are likely to gain greater consumer trust.
