Personalized Nutrition Market Trends

Emerging Joint Ventures and Partnerships to Drive Growth in Upcoming Years

Nutrition plays a key role in obtaining overall well-being by maintaining both physical and mental health. Since consumers are becoming more aware of health and diet, the concept of personal nutrition has been emerging worldwide. The tailored diet and nutritional solutions help to meet the user’s nutrient requirements effectively while supporting the immune system, enhancing energy levels, managing chronic conditions, and reducing the risk of diet-related diseases. To tailor user-specific nutrition and diet, industry players have opted for various advanced technologies, such as DNA testing, blood tests, and questionnaires related to user’s lifestyles. These technologies assist industry players in developing and delivering personalized nutrition supplement products.

Industry players are adopting various strategies to strengthen their presence in the market and stay ahead of the competitive curve. Partnerships and merger & acquisition activities assist players in developing innovative products to serve their consumers. For instance, in January 2022, Bioniq, a London-based startup specialized in developing personalized nutrition solutions, acquired a university spin-off company, LOEWI.

Personalized Nutrition Market Growth Factors

Rising New Entrants Coupled with Increasing Venture Investment to Fuel Market Growth

Since product demand is surging globally, numerous players are entering the industry with innovative product ideas.

The company strives to deliver uniquely blended vitamin pouches to its consumers. Furthermore, established players are planning to enter new market spaces, especially emerging nations such as India, Korea, and China, to expand their clientele base.

Industry Beneficial Programs by Governments to Push Industry to New Heights

Since nutritional deficiency among individuals is increasing, especially in developing countries, government organizations have initiated various programs to improve awareness of nutritional foods and supplement benefits.

Furthermore, the government is also incorporating various industry-beneficial programs and financial aids to strengthen new entrants in the industry. In July 2021, the Ministry of Food & Drug Safety, South Korea, initiated the Sandbox project to promote and open new stores in the country. Numerous supplement companies, such as Pulmuone Health & Living, Herbalife Korea, Amway Korea and Cosmax NBT, are involved in this project. This project would allow these companies to open certain shops and 152 stores are anticipated to open under this project in the upcoming years. Under this project, Cosmax NBT opened its 5^th customized nutrition store in October 2021. Thus, the government’s supportive programs and policies will propel the industry in upcoming years.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Volatile Regulatory Landscape and Technological Complexity to Impede Market Growth

Customized nutrition solutions are in a developing stage. Thus, it is currently considered unregulated across the world. Over the past decade, a number of studies have investigated the benefits and challenges of the concept. Manufacturers gather individuals' personal information, such as genotype information and lifestyle and dietary requirements, using advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and data analytics. The sharing of personal data may affect users' privacy. Thus, regulators consider this concept to be part of the regulatory aspects of data protection. For instance, in Europe, the personalized nutrition services provider must follow the EU standard’s guidelines prescribed under Art. 4.1 GDPR. These complex yet volatile policies, paired with poor standardized regulatory frameworks, are likely to impede industry growth.

Furthermore, to offer effective services, companies need to adopt advanced technologies such as DNA tests, AI tools, and data analytics. These technology-driven tools are complex and need specialized resources to handle them. It may increase companies' operation costs and may adversely influence their revenue growth.
