Vitamins and minerals demand in Asia Pacific is driven by rising health consciousness among the ageing population, and high incidence rate of vitamin deficiency in the region. Consumption of vitamins in the human healthcare and personal care markets is driven by urbanization, and the resulting rise in stress caused by hectic lifestyles and pollution. B-complex vitamins, vitamin E and multivitamin are few of the most widely consumed vitamins which are driving the market for the segment in Asia Pacific region. Herbal supplements were observed to record highest growth in the market, supported by the fact that many herbal companies are strongly promoting their products for beauty enhancement and health improvement. Korea Ginseng is major example of the same. However, rising prevalence of digestive disorders owing to increased consumption of junk food has also resulted in high demand for probiotics in the region.

Rising health consciousness among the Asia-Pacific countries is urging the manufacturers of functional foods to meet the transforming demand of growing nutrition. Manufacturers are introducing functional fortified foods for specific target audience which is helping them in generating extra revenue from the segment.
