Iron deficiency is the most common form of nutritional deficiency worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that it affects nearly one-third (30%) of the global population. A major market opportunity exists for iron supplements with added value – proven by our presence in what is now over 30 markets.
Iron deficiency anemia accounts for almost half of all cases of anemia. Undetected (and consequently untreated) iron deficiency and anemia can have particularly serious health consequences for pregnant women and children. It is associated with an increased risk of premature birth, low birth weight, and other complications. It can also have a negative impact on a child’s cognitive development.
Global organizations are aware of the seriousness of the problem. Consequently, they have started various initiatives, for example, WHO recently launched a comprehensive framework for action to accelerate anemia reduction. The initiative’s main goal is to lower global anemia prevalence, stating supplementation as one of the ways to achieve it.
Many women and children worldwide are in need of quality iron products, but most currently available products in the market are based on simple iron salts. Those often cause severe side effects and come with an unpleasant metallic taste. Rare products have high and clinically supported efficacy. The majority of products are developed in pill forms, less suitable for women and children.
Various iron supplement markets are growing at remarkable rates, much higher than the average supplement growth. The potential size of such markets is shown in Italy – the market reached nearly 80 million € in 2020 according to IQVIA with a CAGR (2016-20) of 8,2%.
Growth is initiated and driven by the entry of advanced, premium products, such as PharmaLinea’s >Your< Iron Line. Such advanced products avoid severe flaws of the vast majority of available iron products.
