UAE
Dietary Supplements Market is anticipated to experience an impressive growth with
7.51% CAGR during the forecast period, 2024-2028. Increasing health
consciousness among people coupled with the rising number of gyms and wellness
centers in the region are expected to augment the growth of the UAE Dietary
Supplements Market. As per the report of Dubai Health Authority (DHA), 90%
of the UAE population is suffering from deficiency of vitamin D. The scarcity
of vitamin D leads to a high risk of Type I & II diabetes in new-born
babies.
Dietary
supplements are products that are intended to supplement a person's diet and
provide additional nutrients that may be missing from their daily food intake.
These supplements come in various forms including capsules, tablets, powders,
liquids, and bars. Also, various advantages of adding dietary supplements in
daily diet fuel UAE Dietary Supplement Market growth. For example, some people
may not absorb enough of certain vitamins, minerals, or other nutrients through
their diet. In such cases, dietary supplements can help to fill the gaps and
ensure the body gets sufficient nutrients. Furthermore, dietary supplements
play a pivotal role in the diet of athletes and active individuals, as certain supplements
can improve performance or help with recovery. For example, protein supplements
can help build muscle and aid in recovery after exercise. There are various
other factors which are supporting the growth of the UAE Dietary Supplements Market such as changing
lifestyle, introduction of new brands, increase in healthcare expenditure,
favorable regulatory scenario, increased prevalence of malnutrition and
nutritional deficiency, rise in awareness among people, etc. In addition to
these, there is a greater emphasis on maintaining health and preventing chronic
disease in the aging population, which is expected to augment the growth of the
UAE Dietary Supplement Market in the coming years.
Increasing
Focus of Peoples on Health and Wellness Propelling the Market Growth
In
recent years, there has been an increasing focus on health and wellness, due to
which people are becoming more aware of the importance of maintaining good health
and are seeking ways to achieve this goal. This focus on health and wellness is
driven by several factors, including an aging population, rising healthcare
costs, and a growing understanding of the importance of preventative care.
As
consumers become more health-conscious, there is a growing demand for products
that can help them maintain or improve their health. Many people are turning to
dietary supplements to support their immune system, boost their energy levels,
or address specific health concerns such as joint pain or digestive issues.
In
addition, there is a growing trend towards natural and organic products in the
region, driven by increasing health awareness and concerns about the safety and
efficacy of synthetic supplements. Consumers are looking for products that are
free from harmful additives and chemicals, and made with natural and organic ingredients.
This has led to a surge in demand for plant-based supplements, such as those
made from herbs, fruits, and vegetables. Therefore, the rising emphasis of
people on health and wellness is expected to bolster the growth of the UAE Dietary
Supplement Market in the upcoming years.
Increasing
Prevalence of Chronic Diseases Driving the UAE Dietary Supplement Growth
Increasing
incidence of chronic diseases such as diabetes,
cardiovascular disease, and cancer in the region is expected to augment the
growth of the UAE Dietary Supplement Market in the upcoming years. Many
people in UAE are turning to dietary supplements to manage or prevent these conditions. It is
because certain supplements, such as omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and
probiotics, may have health benefits in this regard. Therefore, there is
a surge in demand for dietary supplements in the region, which, in turn, is
expected to bolster the growth of UAE Dietary Supplement Market in the
forthcoming years. According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF),
the prevalence of diabetes in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in 2021 is
estimated to be 17.3% among adults aged 20-79 years. This means that
approximately 1 in 6 adults in the UAE has diabetes. The IDF reports that the
number of people with diabetes in the UAE is expected to increase from 1.2
million in 2021 to 2.2 million by 2045, reflecting a significant increase in
the burden of this disease on the country's healthcare system. In addition
to it, the rising number of people suffering from these life and diet related
diseases is expected to boost the growth of the UAE Dietary Supplement Market.
Growing
Awareness among People about the Dietary Supplements are Promising Factor for
Market Growth
In
recent years, there has been a growing awareness among people for dietary
supplements, which is one of the major factors bolstering the growth of the UAE
Dietary Supplement Market. Many people are becoming more interested in
maintaining a healthy lifestyle and are looking for ways to supplement their
diet to improve their overall health and wellness. Also, due to social media
platforms, there is an increase in awareness as influencers and celebrities
are often endorsing dietary supplements, which is strengthening the growth of
the UAE Dietary Supplement Market.
Furthermore,
various awareness programs are launched by the government to educate consumers
about the benefits and risks of dietary supplements. These campaigns include
advertisements, social media posts, and other educational materials which aim
at increasing public awareness about the importance of a healthy diet and the
role of dietary supplements in maintaining good health.
Expansion
of E-Commerce Channels Driving the UAE Dietary Supplements Market Growth
The
expansion of e-commerce channels has played a significant role in driving the
growth of the dietary supplements market in the UAE by facilitating easier
access, increased convenience, and providing a platform for the marketing and
promotion of dietary supplements. E-commerce platforms have revolutionized the
way people shop for dietary supplements. Consumers can browse and purchase
products from the comfort of their homes using their smartphones or computers.
The convenience of online shopping has attracted a significant portion of the
population, allowing them to access a wide variety of dietary supplements,
compare prices, read reviews, and make informed purchasing decisions. The
expansion of e-commerce channels has significantly expanded the choices
available to consumers, providing access to both local and international
brands.
E-commerce
platforms enable consumers in the UAE to access a wide range of international
dietary supplement brands that may not be available in local physical stores. The
global market access allows consumers to explore and purchase products from
different regions, expanding their choices and exposure to new supplement
options. The availability of international brands through e-commerce channels
further fuels the UAE dietary supplements market growth.
Growing
Government Support
The
rise in government support for dietary supplements in the UAE region is fueling
the growth of the UAE Dietary Supplement Market. Favorable rules and
regulations for the dietary supplement industry contribute to the growth of the
UAE Dietary Supplement Market. For instance, in Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Food
and Drug Authority (SFDA) regulates dietary supplements and requires
manufacturers to register their products and provide information on their
safety and efficacy. The authority conducts inspections of supplement
manufacturing facilities to ensure compliance with safety and quality
standards. The UAE government in the region is investing in programs
to improve public health, including initiatives to reduce obesity rates,
improve nutrition, and encourage physical activity. Also, in 2019, the UAE
government continued its efforts to regulate and promote the use of dietary
supplements in the country. Some of the initiatives and regulations implemented
were related to the regulation of health claims, quality control standards,
labeling requirements, and others.
