Dietary supplements in China is set to continue to deliver strong results, with 2026 retail value sales reaching CNY182 billion and growth of 8%, outpacing inflation and exceeding regional and global performance benchmarks. Despite a moderation in real GDP growth to 5%, the environment remains highly attractive due to robust consumer spending and a mature, stable demographic base. Growth is powered by the increasing sophistication of product formats, the rapid rise of content-driven e-commerce and a pronounced shift in consumer preference towards products promising immediate, tangible effects, especially in energy, beauty and holistic wellness. The market is undergoing pronounced price polarisation, forcing brands to choose between value offerings and premium, clinically validated products, as the traditional middle ground becomes less sustainable. To succeed, brands must adapt to a fragmented retail landscape by developing differentiated portfolios, investing in rapid product innovation, leveraging content-led digital platforms and responding quickly to regulatory and consumer trends.
