The population suffering from rheumatoid arthritis is expanding at a considerable rate, mainly due to increasing life expectancy, which is, in turn, creating the demand for bone and joint health supplements.

Furthermore, the rising prevalence of various nutritional deficiencies, increasing access to supplements, and a rising number of distribution channels are driving the market. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has boosted awareness regarding healthy and active lifestyles and has increased the implementation of self-care among consumers.
