Countries around the world attach great importance to the development of health foods. New functions, new products, new shapes and new ways of eating are constantly emerging. According to industry report analysis, the global dietary supplement market size is estimated to be $115.06 billion in 2018. It is expected that before 2025, its compound annual growth rate will reach 7.8%.

In recent years, the health care products market in the world has the following characteristics:

  • First, there are different varieties of health foods with low fat, low calorie and low cholesterol; the market share of energy and weight management is the largest.
  • Second, vegetarian foods and plant proteins are favored; health teas and Chinese herbal medicines have begun to attract more and more people's attention.
  • Third, the process of nutritional supplements has been further developed. The product has high purity and good performance, and is mostly in the form of capsules and tablets. In addition, powder-type supplements are increasingly demanding because they can be made into sports drinks or eaten with other foods and are easily absorbed.
