At Kantar Worldpanel, we’ve kept a close eye on Thailand’s Health & Beauty Supplement market for two decades. The opportunities for brands have never looked more promising – with the number of buyers, segments and players increasing strongly in recent years, along with consumer spend.
An aging society, greater interest in health and wellness and the arrival of COVID-19 drove Thai consumers to start spending on supplements, and penetration has continued to grow after the pandemic. People still care deeply about their health, but their priorities have evolved.
As lockdown ended, and things started to return to normal, people began to enjoy life outside of the home again, going back to the gym or the office, for example. These behaviours are changing people's needs in terms of the benefits they expect from the products they buy. For example, immunity and protein have become more important than skincare and eyecare. In formats, the popularity of powder is rising due to its versatility and convenience.
