North America Dietary Supplements Market Drivers

Rise in Sports Nutrition and Fitness 

• With the growth of fitness culture in North America, specifically with increasing gym memberships, fitness influencers, and sports-related activities, the performance-enhancing supplements market is on the rise. Products that are popular include amino acids, pre-workouts, and protein powders. Consumers are looking to supplements that enhance energy, muscle recovery, and overall physical performance, therefore fueling the growth of the market for sports nutrition. 

Growth and Facilitation of E-Commerce 

• The North America dietary supplements industry has been greatly affected by the rise of e-commerce. Customers prefer online shopping because it provides competitive cost, a wide range of items, and convenience. Conducts of purchases among North American customers changed due to availability of information regarding a product, chances of reviewing for the product, and ability to access these e-commerce websites that are reliable to make purchases from. In addition, e-commerce enables private label and niche businesses to engage in a larger market, encouraging market growth. 

North America Dietary Supplements Market Restraints 

Lack of Awareness Regarding Regulation 

• Ignorance on the part of customers in North America still remains a very high barrier, as most dietary supplements are not FDA cleared. Though the FDA controls these supplements, they have nothing to do with the pre-approval of these supplements when they are entering markets among consumers. This is the primary reason many become skeptical and suspicious of items due to their regulation about their efficacy, safety, and legitimacy. 

Price Sensitivity and Uncertainty in the Economy 

• Customers start worrying about price sensitivity during uncertain economic times. Good nutritional supplements are expensive products, especially those using quality ingredients or additional benefits. Some market segments may not have too much room to expand due to erosion of revenues from customers who cut back on discretionary spendings such as nutritional supplements during a bad economy or due to fluctuating disposable incomes.
