“Grocery and other mass channels had some slowing growth in supplements. That makes up the majority of our channel, so it really heavily affected that growth trend a little bit more than even the rise in ecommerce.”
— Claire Morton, Senior Analyst, Nutrition Business Journal
Highlights:
- U.S. dietary supplement sales grew 5.4%, reaching $43.4B—a slight drop-off from 2016.

- Collagen is the hot ingredient in the hair/skin/nails supplements category, continuing double-digit growth.
- Pill fatigue exists across all conditions and categories: a 14% increase in non-pill format market share since 2011, with gummies seeing exponential growth.
- In the next two years, surveyed supplement consumers expect to shop first in mass market, then e-commerce and grocery respectively.
