Vitamins are organic substances that are vital in small quantities for numerous bodily functions and for maintaining overall health. They play a key role in regulating metabolism, enhancing immune response, and supporting growth and development.
The primary categories of vitamins include Vitamin A, Vitamin B, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, and Vitamin K. Vitamin A encompasses a group of fat-soluble retinoids such as retinol, retinal, and retinyl esters. These vitamins are derived from both natural and synthetic sources and are made available through various distribution channels including hypermarkets, supermarkets, mass merchandisers, and specialty retail stores. Their applications span across multiple health domains such as digestive health, immune support, mental well-being, cosmetics, physical performance, menstrual health, pregnancy, and sports nutrition. Additionally, they serve a diverse range of end-use industries including food and beverages, personal care, animal nutrition, and pharmaceuticals.

The rising incidence of vitamin deficiencies is expected to drive the growth of the vitamins market in the coming years. Vitamin deficiency is a condition that arises from inadequate intake or absorption of essential vitamins. The growing prevalence of these deficiencies is primarily due to poor dietary habits, with many individuals consuming processed foods that lack vital vitamins and minerals. Vitamins play a crucial role in addressing and preventing deficiencies by supplying nutrients that support immune function, energy metabolism, bone health, and cellular repair, thereby restoring nutritional balance and preventing related health issues. For example, in January 2025, the National Health Service, a UK-based government department, reported that in 2023-24, there were 2,630 hospital admissions where B vitamin deficiency (excluding folate) was the primary diagnosis, reflecting a 15% increase from the previous year. Consequently, the growing prevalence of vitamin deficiencies is contributing to the expansion of the vitamins market.
