Growing Vegan and Vegetarian Population
The increasing shift towards vegetarianism and veganism in India is significantly driving demand for Vitamin B12 supplements, as plant-based diets naturally lack this essential nutrient. According to reports, India has the world's highest rate of vegetarians at 38%. With low meat consumption, 9% are vegan. With growing awareness of B12 deficiency risks such as fatigue, anemia, and neurological disorders, more consumers are turning to fortified foods, dietary supplements, and functional beverages to meet their nutritional needs. Healthcare professionals and nutritionists are actively educating individuals about the importance of B12 supplementation, further fueling market growth. E-commerce platforms, pharmacies, and health stores are expanding their offerings, making B12 supplements widely accessible. Additionally, brands are launching methylcobalamin-based and organic B12 formulations, catering to consumer preferences for natural and bioavailable sources. As the vegan and vegetarian trend continues to grow, the India vitamin B12 supplements market outlook remains positive, with increasing innovation and product diversification shaping future market expansion.
Rising Demand for Functional Foods and Fortified Products
The demand for functional foods and fortified products enriched with Vitamin B12 is growing in India as consumers seek convenient and effective dietary solutions. With a rising vegan and vegetarian population, fortified plant-based milks, cereals, nutritional drinks, and dairy alternatives are gaining traction to address B12 deficiency. For instance, in September 2024, Maiva Fresh introduced Maiva Unsweetened Almond Milk a nutritious health drink boasting zero cholesterol and fortified with Vitamin B12 and D. Available in four flavors natural, vanilla, cocoa, and mango it aims to satisfy health-conscious consumers with delicious options. These products offer an easy way to meet daily nutritional needs without relying on traditional supplements. Brands are responding by introducing bioavailable B12-enriched formulations in breakfast staples, beverages, and protein supplements. Healthcare professionals are also encouraging fortified food consumption, particularly for individuals with low B12 levels, pregnant women, and the elderly. The expansion of e-commerce and supermarket availability is further increasing accessibility. With growing health awareness and product innovation, India vitamin B12 supplements market share is expanding as fortified foods become a preferred nutritional choice among consumers.
