What Are The Primary Growth Drivers In The Pediatric Supplements Market?
The rise in nutritional deficiencies among the population is predicted to boost the pediatric supplement market in the future. A deficiency in crucial nutrients required for growth and overall health indicates a nutritional deficiency. The heightened intake of overly processed foods, typically low in necessary nutrients and filled with empty calories, sugars, and unhealthy fats, is a significant contributor to these deficiencies. Pediatric supplements aim to rectify these deficiencies in newborns and children, providing essential nutrients through their diets. For example, the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund (UNICEF), a US-based intergovernmental organization of United Nations agencies, reported in June 2023 that malnutrition prevention programs impacted 356.3 million children under 5 and mothers in 2022, an increase from 336.4 million in 2021. Hence, the escalating occurrence of nutritional deficiencies is fueling the growth of the pediatric supplement market.
