Argentina Dietary Supplements Market Overview, 2029

Argentina is growing market in recent years, driven by various factors that highlight the increasing health-consciousness and wellness trends among the population. With a growing focus on preventive healthcare and the desire to support overall well-being, Argentinians are increasingly turning to dietary supplements to complement their nutritional intake and address specific health needs. Argentinians are becoming more conscious of the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and proactively managing their well-being. As a result, there is a growing interest in dietary supplements as a means to support a balanced diet, bridge nutritional gaps, and promote optimal health. The increasing availability of information and education about the benefits of dietary supplements has further fueled this trend. Despite Argentina's rich agricultural resources, some segments of the population may experience nutritional deficiencies due to inadequate dietary habits or specific dietary restrictions. Dietary supplements provide a convenient and efficient way to address these deficiencies and ensure optimal intake of essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients necessary for maintaining good health. The modern lifestyle that is followed today by the millennial generation devoids them of a healthy diet. It lacks vitamin C and D, folic acid, calcium, selenium, iodine, minerals, and other nutrients. Supplements are a substitute for these nutrients, which are not consumed in enough quantities to be needed for overall growth and development of the body. Consuming higher than recommended doses may be harmful and result in negative effects. To regulate this, there is a need for a mandate to safeguard consumers' health by stating a warning for excess consumption.

According to the research report "Argentina Dietary Supplements Market Overview, 2029," published by Bonafide Research, the Argentina Dietary Supplements market is expected to reach a market size of more than USD 2.43 Billion by 2029. There is a growing awareness and emphasis on health and wellness among the Argentine population. Consumers are becoming more proactive in managing their health, seeking ways to prevent illness and maintain overall well-being. This has led to an increased interest in dietary supplements as a means to support their nutritional needs and promote optimal health. Vitamins and botanicals form the major market share by type of supplement taken by consumers more than other types. However, since the food consumed by consumers is low in fibre, omega fatty acids, and carotenoids, other types of supplements are expected to remain in high demand by consumers. Capsules and gels and gummies are gaining traction in the market as they look appetising and are easier to consume. Gummies containing a wide range of vitamins and minerals are also appealing to children. Since the rise of chronic diseases among the rising geriatric population of the world, they are projected to be in high demand from them over the forecast period. However, pregnant women are expected to have the lowest demand. Consumers rely on buying their medicines and related products from trusted and nearby pharmacy stores rather than supermarkets or hypermarkets.

Botanicals hold almost one fourth of the market share and are expected to grow rapidly over the forecast period. Traditional Argentine botanicals and herbal remedies are gaining traction in the dietary supplement market. Consumers are showing a renewed interest in traditional plants and herbs that have been used for centuries in indigenous medicine. Ingredients such as mate, maca, cat's claw, and chamomile are being incorporated into dietary supplements for their perceived health benefits. Innovation with amino acids to achieve specific functions such as weight loss and muscle repair is furthering their demands. Rising preventive healthcare and an increased awareness of consumers' health towards health creates demand for botanicals. Women facing problems like insomnia and hot flashes are able to relieve their symptoms through these supplements. Botanicals like fish oil, detoxes, and probiotic drinks are on the rise. High income levels and developing infrastructure for sports and fitness are further expected to boost market demand. During the pandemic, the government advised using certain herbal supplements to maintain health and reduce the chances of getting affected by more of the virus.

The dietary supplements are most widely sold over the counter in pharmacy stores as they are easy to reach in every area of the city. However, due to the increase in supermarkets and hypermarkets establishments and consumers' inclined towards buying their fix of groceries from these outlets, their popularity has increased. Since supermarkets give attractive discounts, consumers do not need to travel to a different store to specifically purchase the same. Furthermore, consumers can easily read the labels and compare them to other products on the shelf. Research and development are the key success factors for dietary supplements, which require heavy investments. Furthermore, strict regulations regarding health benefit claims and product labelling are expected to pose challenges for dietary supplements during the forecast period. Adults demand more of these supplements as, with age, their bodies require some essential nutrients for proper functioning. Also, as with age, they have developed some or other type of chronic disease, so they do not get sufficient nutrition from the food they are required to consume. Additionally, the hectic working schedules and fast-changing lifestyles lead to increased use of dietary supplements by adults. The rise in the number of chronic diseases like obesity, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes are the other factors driving the future markets. Tablets are the most common and easiest form of supplement for consumers and lead the market by form type. It is low in cost, has a long shelf life, and is a convenient form for multivitamins and is expected to positively lead the market growth in the future. On the other hand, the encapsulation of finished products for controlled release is expected to bolster future growth from the capsule segment. However, the high price of capsules is expected to be a restraint for this type of supplement.


Covid impact
During the COVID-19 pandemic, all the industries are being impacted, and the dietary supplements industry is also one of them. Initially, when the coronavirus spread, it was difficult for the companies to supply their products to the market for consumption purposes, and the production of dietary products also faced disruption in the supply chain completely. Consumers were only focusing on highly essential products such as food and beverages and other essential products. After sometime, the companies started reopening to fulfil the demand for products in the market. It has been found that dietary supplements are helpful in boosting the immune system. The demand for dietary supplements has been greatly increased due to this new trend.
