Mexico Vitamin Market Share

By type, Vitamin C is expected to hold a significant market share due to its increased application in beauty and personal care products

Vitamin C deficiency, common in pregnant women, heightens risks of cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and mood disorders. Cardiovascular diseases are growing in Mexico due to rising obesity rates. Furthermore, 38% of school-age children experience hypovitaminosis C, with 23% showing deficiency due to low daily intake. This adds to the  demand for vitamin C based supplements and food products.

Deficiency of vitamin B leads to increased risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes and mental health disorders, among others. The increased demand for vitamin B supplements, especially B6, B12, and folic acid is due to the prevalence of diabetes mellitus, which grew from 14.7% in 2018 to an estimated 18.2% in 2022.

In women aged 20-49, Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency rates are 31.6% and 46.1%, respectively. Urban residents, higher socioeconomic status, and obesity increase the risk, while moderate physical activity lowers it. Armstrong Laboratories, in August 2023, launched a nutritional supplement in Mexico to improve osteoarticular health where vitamin D is in its active form.
