Furthermore, the increasing demand for dietary supplements is one of the key drivers of this market. Additionally, more disposable incomes, greater health consciousness, and more affordability are driving the market in emerging countries, such as India, China, and Brazil. Further, the rise in lifestyle diseases as well as growing diagnosis of the same, along with increasing availability and use of vitamin capsules, are also helping this market grow steadily.

The market growth is boosted by the growing competition among the key industry players, such as Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation (TYO 4188) and Cupsugel (Lonza Group Ltd).
