Vitamins are organic compounds classified based on their solubility into water- and fat-soluble vitamins. Water-soluble vitamins include Vitamin C and B, whereas fat-soluble vitamins include Vitamin A, D, E, and K. On the other hand, minerals are inorganic elements essential for maintaining proper metabolism. These are used in the human nutrition industry as a source of minerals and as an additive or excipient in the personal care and pharmaceutical industry. The application areas considered in the analysis include food and beverage (F&B), dietary supplements, specialized nutrition, personal care, and pharmaceuticals. The analysis also covers a detailed value chain analysis, new product launches by key manufacturers, and the market activity of notable suppliers.
Frost & Sullivan finds that the overall vitamin and mineral ingredients industry is at a mature stage of development, and growth in the demand for nutraceuticals will be the leading driver for vitamin and mineral ingredients over the forecast period. Rising production costs and inflationary pressure will continue to pressure vitamin and mineral suppliers and product formulators. As such, prices will remain volatile during the forecast period.
Minerals held the largest share in the overall vitamin and mineral ingredients industry in terms of volume and revenue in 2023. We expect minerals to register slightly higher demand than vitamins over the forecast period due to the growing awareness of the health benefits of different mineral ingredients and the increase in fortification of micronutrients across different F&B products. The growing aging population and the adoption of women’s and children’s health supplements will drive the demand for vitamin ingredients.
Geographically, Asia-Pacific (APAC) held the largest share of the global vitamin and mineral ingredients market in 2023 due to the scale of F&B, supplements, and pharmaceutical industries in the region. China, India, and Japan are some of the high-growth markets, driving the bulk of the demand for vitamin and mineral ingredients in APAC. Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa will witness the highest growth over the forecast period due to rising population, rapid urbanization, and growing per-capita income.

Revenue and Unit Shipment Forecast
Vitamin and Mineral Ingredients: Revenue and Volume Forecast, Global, 2021–2030
Revenue CAGR, 2023–2030 = 4.8%
Volume CAGR, 2023–2030 = 3.9%

The Impact of the Top 3 Strategic Imperatives on the Vitamin and Mineral Ingredients Industry
Geopolitical Chaos
- Why: Most vitamin ingredient prices declined between 2021 and 2023 owing to slower demand from downstream end-use industries resulting from consumer discretionary spending.
- Frost Perspective: Companies must focus on their sourcing strategies; local and dual-sourcing strategies in the vitamin and mineral ingredients industry would mitigate some supply chain challenges. Adopting digital tools and technologies to help manage inventory and forecast supply and demand volatility can offer a competitive edge in the highly volatile vitamin and mineral ingredients market. Companies must optimize production processes to adapt to evolving market dynamics.
Transformative Megatrends
- Why: After the COVID-19 pandemic, consumer focus shifted to holistic health, driving demand for solutions offering more specific health benefits beyond immunity. The growing trend of personalized and precision nutrition will impact the consumption pattern during the forecast period, driving the need for highly personalized nutraceuticals and personal care products.
- Frost Perspective: Companies, especially nutraceutical and personal care formulators, must reinvent their business models and offerings to meet evolving consumer requirements for more personalized solutions. Companies must adapt to next-generation technological advancements to remain competitive. Ingredient suppliers must expand R&D investments to offer high-quality, clinically backed ingredients to ensure competitive differentiation.
Industry Convergence
- Why: The vitamin and mineral ingredient market will see increased competitiveness due to convergence. Factors such as a higher level of market maturity, rapidly changing consumer requirements, and supply chain bottlenecks will drive value chain participants to adopt partnerships and/or acquisition strategies during the forecast period.
- Frost Perspective: Collaboration between nutraceutical and technology companies will expand to offer integrated health and wellness solutions. To overcome supply chain challenges and gain a competitive edge, a higher level of forward and backward vertical integration will occur during the forecast period. companies not actively pursuing these strategies could lose their footing in the market.
