Gummies are a convenient and fast-acting format for vitamins, minerals and other active ingredients. Gummies provide an easier way to consume higher levels of nutrients due to the size a tablet or capsule would need to be to accommodate this.
For people who have difficulty swallowing tablets and capsules, gummies are essential. The tasty flavours also help to mask the undesirable flavour of some vitamins and nutrients. With so many flavours to choose from, you can create a supplement that resonates with your customers.
Gummies are often the format of choice when creating a supplement for children; They taste delicious and resemble sweets. Many consumers are also facing pill fatigue, so the act of chewing a gummy is a more interactive food-like experience.
A fast-growing market that is worth tapping into, it has been predicted that functional gummies will see a CAGR of 12.6% from 2020 to 2028. In addition to this, the global gummy supplement market is worth a reported $7.3bn.
