“Good health is true wealth.” -Urijah Faber
Being healthy is one the key factors in living a long and happy life. The saying goes that “health is wealth,” which is absolutely true because the more someone is unhealthy, then they will be subject to higher insurance premiums, greater healthcare costs, downgraded life expectancy, and more. Without maintaining a keen eye on your health, it will certainly cost you more than money over the long term.
This is why the wellness and health supplement industry continues to thrive. According to market research firms, the industry’s growth is predicted to continue into the next decade.
Reports And Data notes that the global nutrition supplement market was worth $124.8 billion USD in 2018. The market research firm estimates that by 2026, the global market could balloon to $210.3 billion USD. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4% between 2019 and 2026.
Grand View Research estimates that the global health supplement market will be worth $194.63 billion USD by 2025, which represents a CAGR of 7.8% between 2018-2025.
However, it is the natural and organic subsect of the health supplement market that is estimated to see slightly higher growth over the near future. According to Persistence Market Research, the global natural health supplement market is estimated to be worth $68.14 billion USD by the end of 2024. This represents a CAGR of 8.0% between 2017 and 2024.
