Surge in Demand for Infant Nutraceutical
UAE has seen a rise in the use of nutraceuticals in newborn diets. The use of functional foods and nutraceutical supplements has grown as a result of consumer efforts to prevent gastrointestinal illnesses. A significant amount of protein and other dietary supplements are also obtained, supporting end-metabolism users and assisting in the fight against a variety of acute and chronic conditions. For instance, Carrefour kids drink yogurt, one of the many types of probiotic supplements for kids. Additionally, the firm’s entry into the market of newborn probiotic supplement goods like BioGaia Protectis probiotic drops, Synergy Infabiol infant probiotic drops, Calmco Probiotic Drops, etc., had a positive effect on the market's expansion in the ensuing years. Over the projection period, it is anticipated that the growing senior population and rising healthcare costs would support the expansion of the worldwide functional food business. Hence, the rising demand for infant nutraceuticals is fueling the UAE Nutraceutical Market.
Deficiency of Vitamin D to Boost Market Expansion
About 90% of the population in the UAE was found to have vitamin D insufficiency, according to a survey conducted there. The government has launched several campaigns to inform consumers about the various Vitamin D sources and how to maintain a balance of necessary vitamins and dietary supplements in order to tackle this issue. In order to ameliorate the existing situation of the people in the UAE, the government has also requested that various food and beverage industries provide various fortified juices, milk, and other dairy products with vitamin D.
Implementation of VAT and Excise Duty is Limiting the Market Expansion
The tax system for the goods sold in the UAE market has undergone substantial adjustments owing to the UAE government. The government began charging an excise tax of 100% on energy drinks in October 2017. The UAE then launched 5% VAT three months after 5% VAT went into effect in January 2018. This had a detrimental effect on the products, which led to a decline in consumer spending as market prices rose for the goods.
