Vitamins and mineral supplement global market report 2020-30: COVID-19 implications and growth (AmeriTrade) 

July 23, 2020


Ameritrade (USA) published an article on consumer preference toward organic supplements and that is a key trend in the vitamins and mineral supplement market. The supplements, which are economically important, have a fragile supply chain and failure in any stage of the supply chain from farms to dealers, haulers, and distributors to manufacturers-can disrupt the entire chain. IFPRI has gathered evidence of major disruptions to livestock production in China, and vegetables and fruits in Ethiopia, whereas Indian news reported a full-blown collapse in the production of dairy products, which is especially worrying the countries where milk and milk products remain key sources of primary nutrients for young children. Therefore, disruptions in supply chains for nutrient-rich foods are expected to hinder the growth of the vitamins and mineral supplement market.
