Due to the increasing prevalence of respiratory disorders such as COPD, asthma, COVID19, immune health supplements adoption has increased in the last couple of years. Particularly, the rapid rise in life-threatening coronavirus disease from the last year has increased the adoption of immunity-boosting products to manage respiratory tract infections. Taking supplements such as Vitamin C, D, and minerals such as zinc and probiotics offers unique properties to reduce the risk of respiratory tract infection, duration, and severity of infection.

As of 2020, the self-medication segment accounted for the largest revenue share than the prescription-based segment. It can be attributed due to the high percentage of self-medicated supplements using the population around the globe. Further, most of the vitamins and mineral supplements do not require a prescription. One can purchase them from pharmacies, groceries, and any convenience stores. Besides, the growing awareness among the individuals to use immunity-boosting products due to COVID19 is also expected to provide a high market share to the self-medication segment over the forecast years globally.
