This is attributable to increased demand for vitamin and multivitamin supplements for kids in order to raise their immunity and resistance against diseases. The proteins segment is projected to witness speedy growth during the forecast period, owing to the increased number of cases of protein deficiency in children. This deficiency is caused by unhealthy food habits.This has increased the demand for protein supplements considerably. On the basis of age groups, the global market for pediatric supplements has been segregated into infants, middle-aged children, and adolescents. The adolescents segment dominated the global pediatric supplements market in 2016, holding nearly 50% of the total market share.

This is attributed to teenagers consuming more instant and convenient food as a part of their regular diet, which deprives them of essential nutrients leading to nutritional deficiency in them. This results in increased demand for supplements among teenagers. The middle-aged children segment is anticipated to experience speedy growth, as an increased number of school-going children are consuming convenient or fast food as at least one important meal of the day. This is attributable to the risen number of working parents in urban areas, who have less time to prepare food at home. This, in turn, is fueling the demand for pediatric supplements.
