The global pediatrics supplements market share is rapidly expanding, with an estimated worth of USD 3,248.119 million in 2024 and projected to reach USD 7,977.2 million by 2034. This growth reflects a CAGR of 8% over the forecast period. These supplements, which include multivitamins, minerals, iron, probiotics, amino acids, and botanicals, are becoming essential to boosting nutrient intake in children.

Pediatric supplements are dietary products specifically formulated to support the nutritional needs of children, typically from infancy through adolescence.
