As per our analysis report, the global Zinc Supplement Market is expected to reach USD 12.17 billion by 2032 from USD 5.93 billion in 2024, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.40% during the forecast timeline.
Zinc is essential for growth, DNA synthesis, and immune function. It naturally occurs in plant and animal foods, while fortified products like breakfast cereals contain synthetic zinc. Supplements in the form of capsules, tablets, and lozenges with zinc support immune function and are used in natural cold remedies. For instance, a 12-week study involving 60 people with diabetic foot ulcers revealed that those treated with a daily dose of 50 mg of zinc experienced notable reductions in ulcer size compared to the placebo group. As people become more health-conscious and fitness-aware, there is a growing interest in nutraceuticals, likely leading to an increase in the demand for nutrient supplements. This trend is expected to bolster the nutrient supplements market.
Zinc supplementation offers notable benefits for individuals with obesity, as it positively affects body weight management, inflammatory biomarkers, and insulin resistance. The global prevalence of overweight and obesity is rapidly increasing, impacting over one-third of the world's population. People with obesity often adopt restricted calorie diets (RCD) as a fundamental approach to combat obesity. However, such diets may lead to deficiencies in essential micronutrients. A recent meta-analysis of 23 studies has demonstrated that people with obesity tend to have lower serum zinc concentrations than those without obesity. As a result of these findings and the increasing awareness of the role of zinc in body weight management, the demand for zinc supplements is expected to continue rising in the coming years.
Increasing demand for skin, hair, and nails related issues. Mild zinc deficiency can lead to various skin issues, such as dry skin, acne, and impaired wound healing. Acne is a prevalent skin condition affecting approximately 9.4% of the global population. Studies have shown that individuals with acne tend to have lower zinc levels. Additionally, zinc, in combination with 2% undecylenic acid, is utilized for the treatment of dermatophytoses, a group of skin, hair, and nail disorders caused by specific fungi. For instance, a randomized control trial involving 151 patients with tinea pedis (a type of dermatophytosis) examined the efficacy of a powder containing 20% zinc-undecylenate, 2% undecylenic acid, and a placebo powder. Considering these findings and the potential benefits of zinc in addressing derma-related issues, zinc supplements are expected to play a crucial role in reducing symptoms and driving market growth.
Growing adoption of plant-based zinc supplements for treating zinc deficiency. Plant-based products are in high demand these days since most consumers are adopting a vegan lifestyle, and there is also a change in consumer preference for plant-based sources due to their nutritional values, low calories, and inclination towards clean eating. On the other hand, rising health concerns related to lactose tolerance have also contributed to the growth of plant-based supplements.
The market growth rate can be hampered on the basis of health-related factors and production, supply chain, and storage. Oral zinc supplementation can lead to various side effects, including indigestion, diarrhea, headache, etc. High-dose use of oral zinc can also result in copper deficiency, particularly for those with already low copper levels, and may lead to neurological issues, such as numbness and weakness in the extremities. To avoid adverse effects, it's important to be mindful of the recommended daily doses of zinc. Despite the potential benefits of zinc supplements, the growth of the zinc supplement market may be hindered by maintenance costs. These supplements need extra care while transporting, and storage needs to be in optimum condition to prevent any spillage and spoilage. As a result, this could present challenges for the zinc supplement market producers during the forecast period.
The global COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on businesses worldwide, disrupting their operations across various industries. To control the rapid spread of the disease, numerous countries implemented lockdown measures, resulting in the temporary closure of manufacturing facilities and a halt in production.
The market for zinc supplements had a positive impact. It was believed that zinc supplement reduces the risk of coronavirus infections, presenting significant business opportunities during the pandemic. Zinc's ability to block tissue breakdown and pathogen entry, along with its antiviral properties, has led to a high demand for zinc supplements as part of COVID-19 treatment options. The cost-effectiveness and global availability have further boosted the demand. Doctors are recommending zinc supplements for prevention and treatment during the pandemic, resulting in new revenue streams for manufacturers due to their positive immunological response.
