MARKET SUMMARY
1.1 Definition and presentation
Food supplements include any type of product whose aim is to integrate one’s diet by providing necessary and additional nutrients. Under the European Directive - 2002/46/EC – the supplements are defined as “foodstuff which comes under the form of capsules, pastilles, tablets, pills and similar”.
Among the most popular categories:
- Vitamins, such as D and E
- Minerals, such as calcium and iron
- Specialty products, such as probiotics and glucosamine
Dietary supplements present indeed attributes that can relate the product to nutritional and physiological benefits. They do not identify with pharmaceuticals, because their positive impact on the body and mind does not act as therapeutic. [Camera di Commercio]
Dietary supplements have showed an outstanding growth worldwide, leveraging especially on progressive consumers’ attention to health and a global rising senior population.
Western Europe is among the top performers in the industry, with Italy standing in a leading position, counting a double-digit value growth from 2009 to 2019, attributable especially to changes in demographics, consumers’ health awareness and availability of nutritional information.
