For example, in January 2025, the Nippon Communications Foundation, a Japan-based non-profit organization, reported that influenza cases in Japan reached a record high of 317,812 in December 2024. As a result, the rising incidence of seasonal diseases is fueling the growth of the cold and flu supplements market.
