The rise in healthcare spending is expected to drive the growth of the dietary supplement testing services market in the future. Healthcare spending refers to the total expenditure on healthcare goods and services over a specific period, including funds allocated for the safety and efficacy testing of dietary supplements. This encompasses financing research studies and clinical trials to assess the potential benefits and risks of specific dietary supplements, thereby supporting market growth. For example, a report published by the Office for National Statistics, a UK-based government department, indicated that between 2022 and 2023, healthcare spending in the UK increased by 5.6%, compared to a growth rate of 0.9% in 2022. In 2023, UK healthcare expenditure was approximately $317.63 billion (£292 billion). Consequently, the increase in healthcare spending is driving the growth of the dietary supplement testing services market.
The growing geriatric population is expected to drive the growth of the dietary supplement testing services market. The geriatric population refers to individuals aged 65 and older, who have specific health needs and sensitivities compared to younger individuals. Dietary supplement testing services are essential for identifying potential contaminants, medication interactions, or inappropriate dosages that could be harmful to older adults. For instance, in October 2022, the World Health Organization, a Switzerland-based intergovernmental organization, projected that by 2030, one in every six people globally will be 60 years old or older. During this time, the number of individuals aged 60 and over is expected to increase from 1 billion in 2020 to 1.4 billion. Moreover, by 2050, the global population of those aged 60 and older is anticipated to double, reaching 2.1 billion. As a result, the increasing geriatric population is driving the growth of the dietary supplement testing services market.
Major players in the dietary supplement testing services market are adopting a strategic partnership approach to introduce dietary supplements into new markets. Strategic partnerships involve companies leveraging each other's strengths and resources for mutual benefits and success. An example is the partnership between HealthLoq, a US-based Blockchain-Powered Nutraceutical Information Platform, and UL Solutions, a US-based safety science company, announced in May 2022. This collaboration combines HealthLoq's blockchain-based transparency platform with UL's expertise in independent testing, inspection, and audit activities. The aim is to facilitate the launch of dietary supplements into new markets, ensuring manufacturers deliver quality and safety. The HealthLoq platform provides consumers with reliable, detailed information about specific nutraceutical products, contributing to the expansion of the dietary supplement testing services market.
The rising health consciousness is expected to drive the growth of the dietary supplement testing services market in the future. Health consciousness refers to the extent to which individuals are concerned about and actively pursue their physical and mental well-being. As awareness of the potential health benefits of dietary supplements increases, so does concern about their quality and safety. This heightened awareness leads to greater demand for independent testing services to ensure that the supplements consumed are accurately labeled and free from harmful contaminants. For instance, a report by the National Safety Council, a US-based non-profit organization, indicated that in 2023, emergency departments treated 3.7 million people for injuries related to sports and recreational equipment, marking an 8% increase from the 445,642 injuries reported in 2022. This trend underscores the importance of health and safety, further driving interest in dietary supplement testing services.
