Restraints

• High Costs of Premium Supplements

High costs of premium supplements are one of the major deterring factors in the Vitamin K2 market. High-quality vitamin K2 supplements are more expensive, with some of the products using bioavailable types such as MK-7. This may be a factor in discouraging those customers who have cost sensitivity and preventing the widespread use of vitamin K2. Due to such prohibitive costs of a quality formulation, some customers are predicted to forgo using supplements or switch to cheaper options, which may have affected overall market growth. The cost issue impacts accessibility and perhaps restricts overall growth in the market for vitamin K2.

• Regulatory and Standards Issue

Vitamin K2 faces some of the serious challenges arising due to regulatory and standards concerns. Due to different laws in different countries regarding dietary supplements, it is hard for manufacturers to expand their business to foreign shores. This is partly because there are no global standards for vitamin K2 supplements; as a result, the potency and quality of the products also tend to be inconsistent. These variations in quality, in turn, join with barriers linked to regulation to undermine the confidence of consumers and hence hinder market growth. The inability to work out the conflicting regulations easily, and ensuring quality products, is the greatest obstacle to business growth in vitamin K2 and attracting lots of customers.
