The Federation of European Nutrition Societies (FENS) funds and invests in various nutritional food and nutricosmetic businesses. The federation operates and nurtures the growth of such companies in 26 countries in the region.
The European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) governs and offers grants for businesses in the nutrition sector, and also honors the best-performing organizations in the industry. Such initiatives have encouraged participants to develop highly beneficial, innovative products, thereby boosting the growth of the European dietary supplements industry.
Probiotic food supplements continue to contribute significantly to the growth of the Europe food supplements market. Many medical professionals in Europe recommend probiotic supplements for their various health benefits, including increased immunity.
The prevalence of lactose intolerance and obesity in Europe has further increased the demand for probiotic health supplements. Probiotic supplements are increasingly consumed in the region by consumers with lactose intolerance, thereby contributing to the growth of the probiotics segment across other applications.
Across the European Union, a rapidly aging population is becoming a key structural driver of dietary supplement demand, as a growing proportion of consumers are over 60 and increasingly focused on maintaining mobility, immunity, and overall quality of life. Age-related physiological changes, along with behavioral and social factors, raise vulnerability to chronic conditions such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases, joint problems, and cognitive decline, prompting greater reliance on preventive nutrition. As a result, supplements such as calcium, vitamin D, omega-3s, magnesium, and targeted formulations for heart, bone, and brain health are becoming part of daily health routines rather than occasional purchases.
This trend is clearly reflected in Germany, where around one in five adults is aged 65 or older, and the share of seniors is expected to keep rising. According to figures from the Max Rubner Institute National Nutrition Survey II and the KPRA Age Study, women aged 65-80 are the most active supplement users, with 54% of women and 34% of men in this age group regularly taking food supplements. Such high adoption among older adults highlights how demographic ageing directly expands the core consumer base and supports sustained, long-term growth in the European dietary supplements market.
In August 2025, IBSA Group launched orodispersible film food supplements containing iron, vitamin D3, and vitamin B12 using its patented FilmTec technology across new European markets, expanding its international presence with easy-to-take, precisely dosed formats.
