Canada Dietary Supplements Market Overview, 2027

"The Canadian dietary supplement market has been experiencing steady growth over the years. Canada has a significant presence in international dietary supplement trade. The country both imports and exports dietary supplements, with key trading partners including the United States, Europe, and Asia. Canadian dietary supplement companies participate in global supply chains, sourcing ingredients from around the world and exporting products to various markets. Dietary supplements are products intended to supplement the diet and provide essential nutrients or other beneficial substances that may be missing or insufficient in one's regular diet. The Canadian dietary supplement market offers a wide range of products, including vitamins, minerals, herbal supplements, probiotics, sports nutrition products, and specialty supplements. These products are available in various forms such as capsules, tablets, powders, liquids, and gummies, catering to the diverse preferences and needs of consumers. The industry is driven by several factors, including increasing consumer awareness and interest in preventive healthcare, a growing aging population, and the desire for natural and organic products. According to the report title ""Canada Dietary Supplements Market Overview, 2027"", published by Bonafide Research, the demand for dietary supplements are increasing by the millennia. Canadians are becoming more health-conscious and proactive in taking care of their well-being. They are seeking ways to support their overall health, fill nutritional gaps, and address specific health concerns. This growing health awareness is driving the demand for dietary supplements as a means to optimize nutrition and promote wellness. Canada has a rapidly aging population, with a significant portion of the demographic composed of older adults. As individuals age, there is often an increased focus on health maintenance, disease prevention, and the management of age-related health conditions. Dietary supplements can play a vital role in supporting the unique nutritional needs of seniors, driving demand within this demographic. Vitamins and botanicals form the major market share by type of supplement taken by consumers more than other types. However, since the food consumed by consumers is low in fibre, omega fatty acids, and carotenoids, other types of supplements are expected to remain in high demand by consumers. Capsules and gels and gummies are gaining traction in the market as they look appetising and are easier to consume. Gummies containing a wide range of vitamins and minerals are also appealing to children. Since the rise of chronic diseases among the rising geriatric population of the world, they are projected to be in high demand from them over the forecast period. However, pregnant women are expected to have the lowest demand. Consumers rely on buying their medicines and related products from trusted and nearby pharmacy stores rather than supermarkets or hypermarkets. Botanicals hold almost one-fourth of the market share and are expected to grow rapidly over the forecast period. Innovation with amino acids to achieve specific functions such as weight loss and muscle repair is furthering their demands. Rising preventive healthcare and increased awareness of consumers' health towards health create demand for botanicals. Women facing problems like insomnia and hot flashes are able to relieve their symptoms through these supplements. Botanicals like fish oil, detoxes, and probiotic drinks are on the rise. High-income levels and developing infrastructure for sports and fitness are further expected to boost market demand. During the pandemic, the government advised using certain herbal supplements to maintain health and reduce the chances of getting affected by more of the virus.

The dietary supplements are most widely sold over the counter in pharmacy stores as they are easy to reach in every area of the city. However, due to the increase in supermarkets and hypermarkets establishments and consumers' inclined towards buying their fix of groceries from these outlets, their popularity has increased. Since supermarkets give attractive discounts, consumers do not need to travel to a different store to specifically purchase the same. Furthermore, consumers can easily read the labels and compare them to other products on the shelf. Research and development are the key success factors for dietary supplements, which require heavy investments. Furthermore, strict regulations regarding health benefit claims and product labelling are expected to pose challenges for dietary supplements during the forecast period. Tablets are the most common and easiest form of supplement for consumers and lead the market by form type. Dietary tablets offer a convenient and easy-to-use form of supplementation. They are pre-measured and can be taken with water or swallowed whole, eliminating the need for mixing or measuring. The convenience factor makes dietary tablets popular among consumers who prefer a hassle-free way to incorporate supplements into their daily routines. It is low in cost, has a long shelf life, and is a convenient form for multivitamins and is expected to positively lead the market growth in the future. On the other hand, the encapsulation of finished products for controlled release is expected to bolster future growth from the capsule segment. However, the high price of capsules is expected to be a restraint for this type of supplement. Adults demand more of these supplements as, with age, their bodies require some essential nutrients for proper functioning. As individuals age, their nutritional needs may change due to factors such as decreased nutrient absorption, changes in metabolism, and increased nutrient requirements. Dietary supplements can help bridge nutritional gaps and provide additional support to meet these changing needs. Adults may turn to dietary supplements to ensure they are getting an adequate intake of essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. Also, as with age, they have developed some or other type of chronic disease, so they do not get sufficient nutrition from the food they are required to consume. Additionally, hectic working schedules and fast-changing lifestyles lead to increased use of dietary supplements by adults. The rise in the number of chronic diseases like obesity, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes are the other factors driving the future markets.
