What you need to know about the Supplement Market in China

Healthy living has become a priority for the majority of Chinese people, particularly millennials. In fact, Chinese culture has long emphasized the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Chinese people are also more likely to spend more on vitamins and health supplements as their purchasing power grows.

By 2020, the market of vitamin and dietary supplements in China has reached CNY149 billion (US$22.3 billion), with a CAGR of 6.4% in the 2015-2020 period. This is why it has created a huge opportunity for health supplements’ brands and international brands to use their reputation, quality, and branding to target and attract consumers.

According to a survey conducted by Rakuten Insight in July 2020, around 77% of respondents living in Mainland China said they took dietary supplements to improve and strengthen their immune system. Only 7% of them took supplements for weight loss.

What drives the market of health supplements?

The size of the vitamin and health supplement market has shown an upward trend, owing to rising consumer awareness of health and sanitation issues in China. Vitamins C, E, and A, for example, are the most commonly heard vitamin supplements.

It’s also interesting to note that the Covid-19 pandemic resulted in a massive increase in demand for vitamins and health supplements, boosting sales of vitamins and supplements.

Following this trend, businesses should take the opportunity to expand their operations in China and capitalize on the long-term health supplement demand.

How to market your vitamins and health supplements in China?
