Analyst Opinion

The Vitamins & Minerals market is globally experiencing significant growth during the COVID-19 pandemic. The global market has witnessed a growth of around 6% in 2020. Nowadays, customers are preferring organic and healthy products to improve defense of their immune system. The growing awareness of healthcare and nutrition is also expected to help the Vitamins & Minerals market generate higher revenues.

However, COVID-19 has disrupted supply chains around the world. This hinders the delivery of goods, which restricts the further growth of the Vitamins & Minerals market during the pandemic.

In the forecast period, the market is estimated to show a steady growth at a CAGR of around 6%, which returns to pre-COVID levels once the pandemic is over.
