Increasing launch of plant-based and organic supplements: Consumers nowadays are increasingly demanding plant-based and organic supplements made from natural ingredients. Several manufacturers have launched organic and plant-based calcium citrate malate supplements to address this need. Being plant-derived, calcium citrate malate has strong appeal among consumers looking for vegetarian/vegan and organic supplements, thus, providing it an edge over animal-derived calcium salts. The rise of plant-based lifestyles and clean label movement make this a strong product development trend.
Combination products with added minerals and vitamins: Combination calcium supplements containing additional minerals like magnesium and vitamins, such as vitamin D, are becoming increasingly popular. Several manufacturers offer calcium citrate malate supplements combined with zinc, magnesium, vitamin K2, vitamin D3, and other essential micronutrients. These combination products offer more comprehensive bone health benefits. Adding complementary ingredients to calcium supplements is a major formula innovation trend catering to the consumer demand.
Transparency and clean labeling: Consumers nowdays scrutinize supplement labels and demand total transparency from brands regarding their ingredients and claims. Clean labeling, non-GMO, and free-from claims like gluten-free have become highly desirable attributes. To appeal to label-conscious consumers, manufacturers are offering non- Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO), allergen-free, and additive-free calcium citrate malate supplements. Investments in tamper-proof packaging and Blockchain technology for supply chain traceability also support transparency. These initiatives to enhance label trust are critical trends shaping product positioning.
Calcium Citrate Malate Market Restraints
High costs compared to other calcium supplement forms: Despite advantages like high bioavailability, calcium citrate malate supplements are priced higher than other forms like calcium carbonate. The higher production costs are due to the complex manufacturing process. The premium pricing limits adoption among cost-conscious consumers, thus, hampering market growth. Manufacturers should focus on reducing production costs through innovations in manufacturing and economies of scale.
Side effects at high dosages: Calcium citrate malate is recognized as safe and well-tolerated but it has some side effects like constipation, flatulence, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea in individuals taking high doses of calcium citrate malate. Concerns regarding potential side effects limit widespread adoption among some demographic groups like pregnant women and children. Manufacturers should educate consumers regarding following the recommended dosage.
