North America is projected to hold a dominant position in the global immune health supplement market with an estimated 45.10% share in 2025, driven by continuous product innovations and launches from key market players.

Government initiatives promoting preventive healthcare and rising adoption of dietary supplements contribute to accelerated market expansion.
Leading global manufacturers are establishing local operations and partnerships to cater to the region’s diverse consumer base. Despite regulatory challenges and variable market maturity, Asia Pacific’s large population and evolving lifestyle patterns position it as a vital market for future growth.
The United States leads the global immune health supplement market, supported by a mature nutraceutical industry, high consumer health consciousness, and strong innovation pipelines.
