The rising incidence of malnutrition cases is anticipated to drive the growth of the vitamin D therapy market in the future. Malnutrition encompasses deficiencies or excesses in nutrient intake, imbalances of essential nutrients, or impaired nutrient utilization. Vitamin D deficiency is notably common among malnourished inpatients and is negatively correlated with long-term mortality, especially when patients are not receiving vitamin D treatment. Consequently, the growing prevalence of malnutrition cases is increasing the demand for vitamin D therapy. For example, in March 2024, the World Health Organization, a Switzerland-based agency dedicated to promoting health, ensuring global safety, and assisting vulnerable populations, reported that in 2022, around 390 million adults aged 18 years and older worldwide were underweight, while 2.5 billion were overweight, including 890 million living with obesity. Among children and adolescents aged 5 to 19 years, 390 million were overweight, with 160 million living with obesity, and another 190 million were classified as thin. An estimated 149 million children under the age of 5 were suffering from stunting, while 37 million were living with overweight or obesity. Nearly half of all deaths among children under 5 years old are linked to undernutrition. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of malnutrition cases is driving the growth of the vitamin D therapy market.

The rising prevalence of chronic diseases is expected to boost the demand for the vitamin D therapy market in the future. Chronic diseases are persistent, progress over time, and typically worsen if lifestyle changes are not made. Examples of chronic diseases include Alzheimer's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, Parkinson's disease, and cancer. Vitamin D therapy is essential in managing chronic diseases by addressing related complications and supporting overall health. Numerous studies indicate a connection between vitamin D deficiency and an elevated risk of chronic conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and certain cancers. Maintaining adequate vitamin D levels is vital for immune system regulation, cardiovascular health, and metabolic function. Individuals with chronic diseases often show lower vitamin D levels, and supplementation is considered a valuable adjunct in their management. For instance, in May 2024, the National Cancer Institute (NCI), a U.S.-based federal agency focused on cancer research and training, reported that in 2024, approximately 2,001,140 new cancer cases will be diagnosed in the United States, with 611,720 people expected to die from cancer. Prostate, lung, and colorectal cancers are projected to account for about 48% of all cancers diagnosed in men in 2024. For women, the three most common cancers will be breast, lung, and colorectal, collectively representing an estimated 51% of all new cancer diagnoses in women in 2024. The number of cancer survivors is anticipated to rise to 22.5 million by 2032. Therefore, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is driving the growth of the vitamin D therapy market.

Product innovations are a significant trend gaining traction in the vitamin D therapy market. Major companies in this sector are launching innovative products to maintain their competitive edge. For example, in February 2024, Cadila Pharmaceuticals Pvt Ltd., a multinational pharmaceutical company based in India, introduced its first aqueous formulation, Cadila Pharmaceuticals' Aqueous Cholecalciferol Injection, which sets a new standard in treating vitamin D deficiency. This unique solution provides rapid correction of vitamin D deficiency in a short period. This groundbreaking innovation showcases superior pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) compared to traditional oil-based cholecalciferol preparations available on the market.

Major companies operating in the vitamin D therapy market are forming partnerships to enhance their market position. A strategic business partnership is a structured alliance between two or more commercial entities, usually established through one or more business agreements or contracts. For example, in July 2024, Catalyst Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a U.S.-based pharmaceutical company, entered into a License, Supply, and Commercialization Agreement with Kye Pharmaceuticals Inc., a Canada-based pharmaceutical company, granting Kye the exclusive Canadian commercial rights to AGAMREE (vamorolone). Vamorolone is utilized in the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), which is related to vitamin deficiency.

In June 2022, Nestle Health Science, a Switzerland-based nutritional science company, made an undisclosed acquisition of The Better Health Company (TBHC). This strategic acquisition is anticipated to synergize with Nestle's global portfolio, specifically enhancing its active lifestyle and health & wellness nutrition brands. Additionally, it positions Nestle Health Science to expedite growth by leveraging TBHC's manufacturing facility in Auckland, facilitating the swift introduction of new products into local markets. The Better Health Company, based in the US, brings its expertise in natural health products to complement Nestle's strategic objectives, signaling a strategic move towards bolstering their market presence and product offerings in the health and wellness domain.
