Rising Use of Prenatal Vitamins before Conception to Aid Market's Growth 

"Prenatal vitamin supplements are increasingly prescribed during 10 weeks of conception, which is a chief driver of the market," said the TMR report's author. It is imperative for mothers to have essential vitamins and minerals from their very first trimester to ensure embryo's health. These vitamin supplements are also prescribed to reduce the chances of prenatal defects. The increasing incidence of Down syndrome, chromosome abnormality, inherited metabolic disorder, congenital heart defect, and other disorders have made parents more inclined towards medications and supplements that will reduce the risk of prenatal defects.

Also women nowadays have a busy and stressful lifestyle owing to which more than often they have irregular eating and sleeping habits. This has taken a toll on their health as a result many of them suffer from vitamin and mineral deficiencies, which could trigger complication during pregnancies. To avoid the incidence of the same, the demand for prenatal vitamin supplements has accelerated.

Stringent Regulations Limiting Scope for Expansion 

On the downside, stringent regulations are creating bottlenecks for the global vitamin supplements market. When supplementing diet with synthesized nutrients, risk of overdose cannot be completely eliminated. Overdose of synthesized nutrients can prove detrimental to both mother and her baby. Due to this, governments across the world have banned consumption of certain prenatal vitamins without prescription. Such stringent measures are restricting the market's trajectory to an extent.

Nevertheless, market players have novel marketing tactics at disposal, besides which, their funding in innovation has increased as well. This, coupled with, the increase disposable income and favorable government regulations aimed at ensuring safe childbirth is expected to create lucrative market opportunities in the coming years.
