Cosmeceuticals are cosmetics with pharmacological benefits. The Global Vitamins market is witnessing an increasing demand from the Cosmeceutical industry, which is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 7 percent during the forecast period. The demand for vitamins is particularly strong from the Skin Care segment of the Cosmeceutical industry.

Some of the vitamins that are commonly used by this segment are vitamin B3, vitamin K, vitamin E, and vitamin A and its derivatives, such as retinol, retinaldehyde, oxoretinoids, and retinyl esters. Also, cosmeceuticals with vitamins are increasingly used as therapeutic adjuncts.

According to the report, many drivers are contributing to the growth of the Global Vitamins market, the most important of which is the increased use of vitamins in functional food and beverages. While vitamins are largely consumed as dietary supplements, their usage in functional food and beverages has increased significantly, thereby contributing to the growth of the market.

Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in the market is stringent laws and regulations governing the market, which require vendors to face elaborate procedures before the approval of a new ingredient. Such regulations are particularly high in developed regions, such as North America and Europe.
