United States Digestive Supplements Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2022 - 2027)

The United States digestive supplements market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.02% during the forecast period (2022-2027).

As an impact of COVID-19, the market has witnessed a surge in the demand for products that provide digestive and immune health, which may positively impact the market. Owing to such factors, there are significant product launches to cater to the growing demand. For instance, in May 2020, FRISKA LLC, a health and wellness brand, introduced 10 dietary supplements focused on improving gut health.

The high prevalence of gastrointestinal problems, such as heartburn, constipation, and diarrhea, resulted in an increasing number of consumers seeking digestive supplements on a regular basis. The paradigm shift toward preventive digestive health management practices, amid the rising healthcare costs and the increasing burden of lifestyle diseases, is the major factor driving the digestive health supplements market in the country.

Probiotics are the driving force within the booming digestive health supplement category, followed by enzymes. Probiotics and enzymes are being consumed by people of all age groups. However, the major consumption is observed among millennials, due to the growing awareness regarding health and wellness through multi-channel publicity, which has influenced their consumption pattern to a large extent.

Key Market Trends

Rising Consumer Awareness about Gut Health

Growing consumer awareness regarding gut health is anticipated to propel the demand for the digestive health supplements market, the probiotic or prebiotic segments in particular.

Further, an increased number of consumers are accepting the role of digestive health in physical health, weight management, and maintaining energy levels, which is likely to boost the demand for prebiotics in the coming years.

Pharmacies and Drugstores hold a Prominent Share

Consumers consider drug stores and pharmacies highly reliable for supplements and other probiotic products. Thereby, manufacturers are widely focusing on making their products available in leading pharmacies/drug stores such as CVS Pharmacy, Walgreens, etc., to reach a larger consumer base. Furthermore, to gain consumers’ trust, CVS Pharmacy launched a 'Tested to Be Trusted’ program, under which about 1,400 products, across 11 categories, including probiotic supplements, went through testing to verify the labeled ingredients.
