Market drivers

The rising geriatric population globally is one of the major drivers of the wellness supplements market. Elderly people are more prone to nutritional deficiencies and require additional supplements to fulfill their daily nutrient requirements. With the growing aging population, the demand for wellness supplements is expected to increase significantly over the forecast period. Moreover, the increasing popularity of the clean label and organic wellness trends is fueling the growth of the organic and plant-based supplements segment.

The current geopolitical tensions and conflicts around the world are deeply impacting the growth of the wellness supplements market. With rising security concerns and economic uncertainties due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, consumers in Europe are becoming increasingly risk-averse in their spending. This is negatively affecting the demand for nutritional and dietary supplements which are considered non-essential products. Rising inflation pressures stemming from high energy and commodity prices are further reducing consumers' disposable incomes and purchasing powers in both Europe and other parts of the world like Asia and Africa which import commodities from these regions. All these factors are collectively dampening the spending power of customers on wellness products.
