The U.S. supplement industry posted 4.4% growth in 2010 to reach $28.1 billion in consumer sales according to NBJ estimates. Slower growth rates can be attributed to a number of factors including: a lack of research breakthroughs, no major health scares, and softening performance on the multi-level marketing front. In 2010, a lack of new product innovation equated to slower sales growth. However, all was not doom and gloom within the supplements category as categories like sports nutrition snatched up 9% annual growth on $3.2 billion in sales.
