In an event that brought together some of the brightest minds in the supply chain and sourcing industry, SupplySide West, organized by Informa Market in North America, proved to be an invaluable experience for the Pharmacenter team.

As a company dedicated to providing high-quality supplements and wellness solutions, the Pharmacenter team was particularly interested in exploring industry growth, consumer trends, women’s health, sustainability, and upcycling. We were excited to learn about the latest innovations in meeting women’s wellness needs, from novel supplements to menopause solutions.

Industry Growth and Consumer Trends
Relevant Figures: According to Grand View Research, the market for dietary supplements has been expanding at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 8.2%, which indicates its huge potential. Statista predicts that by 2026, the Dietary Supplement industry will be worth $349.4 billion, which is a testament to its substantial growth.\
One of the key takeaways from SupplySide West 2023 was the importance of supporting the fast-moving, quality-driven consumer who is looking for quality brands. As the health and wellness industry continues to grow rapidly, consumers are becoming more discerning in their choices. They prioritize products that are backed by scientific research, have transparent sourcing practices, and align with their personal values.
To meet the demands of these consumers, it is essential for companies in the industry to stay ahead of consumer trends and offer innovative solutions. This requires constant research and development, as well as a deep understanding of consumer preferences and needs. By staying attuned to these trends and adapting our product offerings accordingly, we can ensure that Pharmacenter remains a trusted brand in the market.
Furthermore, the conference highlighted the importance of leveraging technology to better understand consumer behavior and preferences. Through data analytics and market research, companies can gather valuable insights that inform product development and marketing strategies. This data-driven approach allows us to tailor our offerings to meet the specific needs and desires of our target audience.
Women’s Health, Sustainability, and Upcycling
Another significant focus of SupplySide West 2023 was women’s health and wellness. The conference highlighted the growing demand for products that address women’s unique health needs, from supplements supporting fertility and prenatal health to solutions for menopause symptoms.
As a company committed to promoting women’s health, we were inspired by the innovative products and research presented at the conference. We learned about novel ingredients and formulations that can support women’s overall well-being and provide targeted solutions for specific health concerns.
In addition to women’s health, sustainability and upcycling were also prominent themes at the conference.
