The pediatric supplements market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.64 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%.

The anticipated rise in nutritional deficiencies is set to drive the pediatric supplement market's growth in the future. Nutritional deficiencies denote the absence of crucial nutrients necessary for proper growth, development, and overall well-being. The surge in the consumption of highly processed foods, often lacking vital nutrients and abundant in empty calories, sugars, and unhealthy fats, substantially contributes to these deficiencies. Pediatric supplements play a vital role in averting such deficiencies in infants and children by supplementing essential nutrients missing from their diets. For instance, as of June 2023, UNICEF reported that malnutrition prevention programs had reached 356.3 million children under 5 and mothers in 2022, up from 336.4 million in 2021. Hence, the increasing prevalence of nutritional deficiencies is fueling the pediatric supplement market's expansion.
Leading pediatric supplement firms are prioritizing the development of natural and organic ingredients tailored for children, such as vitamin D and probiotic drops, to meet the rising demand for healthier alternatives. Vitamin D and probiotic drops serve as dietary supplements aimed at providing infants and young children with the necessary nutrients for their growth and development. For instance, Bobbie, a US-based pediatric nutrition company, introduced its inaugural non-formula products, organic vitamin D and probiotic drops, in February 2024. Bobbie Organic Vitamin D Drops offer infants aged 0-12 months 100% of the daily vitamin D recommendation (400 IU) in a 3-drop dosage. Made with certified organic, non-GMO ingredients, these drops are suitable for breastfed and combination-fed infants, promoting robust bone and teeth development, immune health, and calcium absorption. These new supplements are tailored to address common pediatric deficiencies and support the distinct requirements of infants and toddlers. Organic probiotic drops comprise a blend of probiotic strains clinically proven to alleviate colic in infants.
In July 2022, JB Pharma, an India-based pharmaceutical company, acquired four pediatric formulation brands from Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Limited for Rs 98.3 crore ($8.23 million). This acquisition forms part of JB Pharma's strategy to broaden its offerings in the pediatric segment and fortify its domestic operations. Dr. Reddy's Laboratories Limited, an India-based pharmaceutical company, is renowned for manufacturing pediatric supplements.
