Market Overview
Booming Economies and Consumer Health Trends Stir Growth in the U.S. Vitamin B Market
The open economic system of many countries has resulted in dynamic, complex, and competitive markets worldwide. This is particularly true with the food and feed ingredients market. Growing consumer awareness of the importance of micronutrients and preventive medication trend is likely to foster substantial demand for vitamin B as it is a key nutritional ingredient used in the food and feed industries.
B vitamins play a significant role in diverse application sectors. Animal feed is the largest application area for these vitamins. Human nutrition is the next largest application area for B vitamins, with increasing consumer demand for functional foods widening their scope of application from dietary supplements to fortified food and beverages. "The increasing popularity of vitamin water, sports drinks and confectioneries enriched with vitamins, demonstrates the shift of consumer focus from conventional foods to functional foods," cites the analyst of this research service. "Moreover, the increasing use of B vitamins in personal care products and evolving concepts such as nutricosmetics are creating several opportunities for market growth."
Increase In R&D and Strategic Alliances Can Enable Participants Sustain In the Matured Market
The U.S. vitamin B market is highly competitive and mature. The market is challenged by intense competition from Asian manufacturers, especially the Chinese, resulting in price pressure and decreasing profit margins. Hence, manufacturers are focusing on lowering production cost rather than on innovation and differentiation. By increasing the research and development activities aimed at production economy, product differentiation and value-added products with superior physicochemical characteristics, manufacturers can augment their profit margins.
Manufacturers can also benefit from strategic alliances and joint ventures to reduce price pressure and enhance market expansion. "Market participants can retain the existing customer base by focusing on various issues such as product quality, availability, and customer service," explains the analyst. "In addition, they can also focus on the development of customized products that meet consumer needs and other niche applications with potential for future profits. Manufacturers in the U.S. B vitamins market can also consider expanding geographically and tap developing markets such as Asia Pacific."
