South Korea Health Supplements Market to Grow at a CAGR of 5.2% During 2024-2032, Aided by the Increasing Health Concerns and Demand for Plant-Based Health Supplements

The South Korea health supplements market growth is driven by the increasing awareness regarding health and fitness and the growing preference for plant-based health supplements. Health supplements including vitamins, minerals, herbs, and other dietary ingredients support the body's nutritional needs and are not intended to treat diseases. These supplements contribute to improved physical and cognitive functions. South Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety reported a significant increase in the availability of health supplements, from 12,495 types in 2012 to 26,342 in 2019. Red ginseng and probiotics were popular, but sales of supplements like collagen, hyaluronic acid, and multivitamins surged due to increased interest from young consumers in health maintenance.

Annually, the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency conduct the KNHANES, a comprehensive nationwide survey. It aims to gather statistical insights into the health and nutritional status of South Koreans while pinpointing priority groups for health policy considerations. Employing a stratified multistage probability sampling method, the KNHANES ensures nationwide representativeness. This study analyzed dietary supplement data and usage duration from KNHANES 2018–2020.

Additionally, the trend towards plant-based and sustainable health supplements is gaining momentum due to increased awareness of cruelty-free products. Consumers are opting for plant-based proteins, vitamins, and minerals for better absorption and health benefits.

Due to increased focus on maintaining body’s shape and weight in South Korea, people have turned to health supplements to meet their nutritional needs. The market offers a wide variety of supplements in attractive packaging at competitive prices.

Probiotics dominate the health supplement market, with widespread use in various food and beverages to enhance nutritional value and digestibility. Popular products like probiotic juices, kefir water, and yogurt incorporate probiotics for daily supplementation. Female-focused probiotics targeting reproductive health are gaining traction, claiming benefits like supporting gut health and preventing urinary tract infections. Demand for immunity-boosting products post COVID-19 has driven a surge in probiotic sales in South Korea.
