The market for food supplements - UK

Not included are prescription drugs and preparations that are not explicitly food supplements. Dietary supplements are marketed in dose form, such as pills, tablets, capsules, liquids, tablets or powders. The global dietary supplements market was worth USD 153 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow at a CAGR (combined annual growth rate) of 8.4% until 2030. The global market is driven by a growing concern for people's health, further enhanced by the Covid-19 epidemic that has led to a rebound in sales in many countries. However, the effects and implications of dietary supplements are regularly discussed and the regulation of dietary supplements is currently under debate. In the UK, the dietary supplements market has been growing steadily for many years - the market has grown by 40% between 2009 and 2021. This growth is largely driven by the ageing population, the increasing concern of the population for their health, the development of self-medication and the particular success of natural products, including CBD. In the short term, the coronavirus crisis has also led to a rebound in sales of the stores that remained open during the containment.
