Koncept Analytics, Nov 2007, Pages: 25
The nutritional supplement industry in the United States has consolidated over the last 10-12 years backed by rapid growth. Lately, the market is showing modest growth but growth among the various distribution channels varies. The health practitioner channel has emerged as the fastest channel for nutritional supplement sales as nutritional advices is accessible through this channel.
The increasing growth of the direct sales industry (multi-level marketing) is also driving the growth of nutritional supplement market. This is because of the fact that this channel uses the person-to-person mode of communication for elaborating the benefits of supplements.
However, it is the practitioner channel that is seen as the most lucrative delivery method as its growth has surpassed the broad supplement industry. Atrium has emerged as the leading player in practitioner channel and currently controls around 14% of nutritional supplement sales through this channel.
