Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) :
It is an exciting time in the health, wellness and environmentally conscious lifestyle arena. Consumers continue to be engaged in wellness activities and are, in fact, increasing their desire to incorporate health and wellness products and services into their lives. In years past, the adoption of these products was largely due to the consumer‘s stated need to take control of their personal health and the health of their families. Currently, we are witnessing another underlying motivation emerge. Consumers are reclaiming control over their health and wellness in-order to achieve better quality life experiences. The past ten years have clearly shown that wellness is not a fad or simply a niche market, but rather a full-scale change in how consumers want to live their lives. Today‘s wellness consumer is so mainstream that no particular demographic defines them they are representative of all incomes, genders, educational backgrounds and ethnicities. Although each consumer‘s level of intensity and passion around wellness may differ, the common elements of their lifestyles are identifiable and understanding the trajectory of where these lifestyles will take them is imperative for recognizing future business opportunities.
The global wellness supplements market is segmented based on product. By products, the wellness supplements market is segmented into dietary supplements, functional/fortified food & beverages, food intolerance products and dermo-cosmetic essentials. Accounting for the largest market share the dietary supplements segment is further categorized into vitamin supplements, mineral supplements, protein supplements and herbal supplements. The dietary supplements market is large and growing rapidly.
The FDA defines and regulates all dietary supplements sold in the U.S. The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) defines a dietary supplement as a product intended to add a vitamin, mineral, herb, botanical, amino acid or other dietary substance to a regular diet. The FDA advises that dietary supplements are not intended to treat, diagnose, cure or alleviate the effects of diseases, and that by federal law, every dietary supplement must be labeled “dietary supplement” or use a substitute word for the main ingredient it’s providing, like “herbal supplement” or “calcium supplement.” Thus, a dietary supplement manufacturers do not have to prove to the FDA that their products are safe before launching them in the marketplace. However, they are still on the hook to make sure their products are safe before selling them to the public, as the FDA does get involved if a supplement is adulterated, misbranded or poses a significant risk of illness or injury to consumers. The FDA mandates and monitors the reporting of serious adverse events by dietary supplement companies and voluntary reports by consumers and healthcare professionals.
North America was the largest market for wellness supplements, however Asia Pacific is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
Consumers in Malaysia indicate a stronger health awareness level with an improved literacy rate. With more households in urban areas able to easily reach pharmacies, more consumers are engaging in preventive measures to optimise wellness and self-medication for minor ailments such as mild fever, headaches or coughing. The use of vitamins and dietary supplements in Malaysia continues to grow with the availability of massive ranges in pharmacies such as Guardian or Multicare Pharmacy and in health and beauty specialist retailers such as Watsons or AEON Wellness. Consumers’ knowledge of the benefits provided by certain products, such as multivitamins, probiotic supplements, glucosamine and ginkgo biloba, helps to boost sales of these categories in Malaysia. A tremendous increase in the variants of paediatric vitamins and dietary supplements has also changed the perception of parents towards being less skeptical of introducing vitamins and dietary supplements to children. A clean eating lifestyle and habit among Malaysians has caused more consumers to move away from taking weight loss supplements. While more Malaysians pursue the concept of eating more healthily and exercise more frequently, it reduces dependency on weight loss supplements to lose weight. Therefore, a healthier lifestyle, combining active involvement in sports activities and healthy eating, slows demand for weight loss supplements while boosting the market for wellness supplements.
