Global Market
Japan
• Japan is the second largest vitamins and minerals market globally,
accounting for 28% of the market in 2009.
• Japan will show a similar growth rate to the US, reaching $8bn in
2015.
• The country’s swelling numbers of seniors combined with a
continued and rising interest in supplementation for health will be
the key market drivers.
• Increasing obesity and cancer as consumers move to a more
Western style diet are also positive.
• Over-the-counter (OTC) divisions of big pharma players, Daiichi
Sankyo and Eisai are the leading producers in Japan.
China
• China’s vitamins and minerals market was worth around
$1.5bn in 2009, and is expected to grow at a high single
digit rate to exceed $2bn by 2015.
• In China the use of dietary supplements for specific health
benefits are well established. For this reason, single
vitamins and minerals dominate the market.
• Vitamins are also widely purchased for perceived beauty
benefits (particularly in the case of vitamin E). To capitalize
on strong and growing interest in Western lifestyle
products, vitamins and supplements should be positioned
in a way so as maximize scientifically basis and premium
status.
• In China, vitamins and minerals are regulated and approved
for sale by the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA).
As part of the approval process, the supplier must send
samples to approved research labs for stability, function,
toxicity and purity tests. Within around 6 months, the lab
will submit a report to an SFDA committee which will either
reject the product or supply a certificate authorizing
marketing and distribution within the country.
• China’s rapidly growing OTC market has attracted several
Western big pharma companies such as Bayer, Boehringer-
Ingelheim and Wyeth who are all active in the vitamins and
minerals space.
Brazil
• Brazil’s market is set to overtake the UK in 2011,
showing a healthy CAGR of 7% to approach

showed low double digit year-over-year growth.
• The country’s continued economic success is the
primary driver.
• Regulation in the country is relatively tight in
relation to other emerging nations.
• In February 2010, ANVISA began enforcing new
controls on OTC:
Eastern Europe
• The Eastern European vitamins and supplement
market is forecast to grow strongly to 2015. In
2010 the regional market was in the region of
$1bn, and will approach $1.5bn in 2015
growing at a CAGR of 7–10%.
• Multivitamins dominate the market, although
growth is expected to come from single
vitamins such as vitamin D, which currently has
low penetration.
UK
UK
• In line with other mature European countries, the UK
market will grow more modestly, at 2%, increasing from
around $820m in 2010 to $920m 2015.
• In the UK, functional foods, botanicals have presented a
robust challenge to the vitamins and minerals industry.
Much of the growth between 2005 and 2010 came from
products which target specific health concerns and life-
stages, for example, glucosamine for joints and
Pregnancy care.
• Leading producers are Seven Seas (part of Merck KGaA),
Bayer, Boots, Tesco and Sainsbury’s.

Russian pharmaceutical market.
• Registration of new pharmaceuticals as bio-additives is
now much easier and cheaper for manufacturers, huge
number of small and medium enterprises register their
products this way
• Russian customers are interested in vitamins and
functional bio additives as they pay increasingly closer
attention to preventive care and functional nutrition.
• Yet only a small part of the population (no more that
10%) take vitamins on the regular basis.

Conclusions
• A variety of regulatory, cultural, demographic and
technological trends will impact on the vitamins and
minerals market to 2015.
• To maximize opportunities, vitamins and minerals
producers need to focus on effective positioning and
innovative product development in mature markets.
• In emerging markets, where greater growth potential
exists, a strong focus on effective distribution will be the
key.
• Across the board, adapting to the changing regulatory
environment will be a precondition for efficient
operation.
