India would have 324 million people above 60 years of age, while 107 million and 58 million people are anticipated to be aged above 60 in the U.S. and Brazil, respectively, by 2050. Moreover, the population above 60 years of age is estimated to expand 3.5 times than the total population from 2025 to 2030.

The survey also found that vitamins/minerals are the most commonly consumed supplement category, consistent with the previous surveys.
