Consumer Health in 2025: The big picture
Value sales of consumer health are rising in 2025, supported by Singapore’s ageing population and greater focus on wellness and preventive health. Singapore’s status as an increasingly ageing nation continues to create strong growth opportunities for vitamins and dietary supplements. Anti-ageing supplements are expanding, with brands targeting cell renewal, joint movement and heart health. NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) supplements, such as Tru Niagen and GreenLife, are gaining popularity for their antioxidant properties and potential to slow ageing by converting to NAD+ in the body. The range of NMN-based products available in Singapore continues to grow in 2025.
Key trends in 2025
Gut health supplements are seeing robust growth, with probiotics as the main active ingredient across a rising number of new products. The trend extends to targeted formulations - particularly women’s probiotics - which combine gut health with immune and urinary benefits. Examples include Holistic Way Women’s Probiotic + Prebiotic + Cranberry and GreenLife Probio+ Weight + Skin for Women, both using Morinaga probiotic strains (BB536 and B-3) and additional ingredients such as lactoferrin to support metabolism and weight management.
Competitive landscape
GSK Consumer Healthcare remains the leading company in consumer health in value terms in 2025. Its diversified portfolio includes major brands such as Panadol in analgesics and Centrum and Scott’s in vitamins and dietary supplements. Panadol continues to record strong brand performance, supported by extensive distribution across Singapore. Centrum remains highly active with new product launches through major retailers such as Watsons and Guardian. Notable launches include Centrum Lutein 20mg Capsule, Centrum Triple Action Probiotics Capsule and Centrum Calm & Rest Probiotics, the latter incorporating GABA to promote relaxation and sleep quality.
Channel developments
Health and personal care stores remains the leading distribution channel for consumer health in 2025, with value share continuing to rise. Watsons and Guardian are strengthening their positions through strategic collaborations and experiential retail formats. Watsons has expanded its partnership with GNC to launch Singapore’s first store-within-a-store concept, offering science-backed supplements in a premium wellness setting. Guardian is similarly focused on promotional events such as the Guardian Health and Beauty Fiesta to reinforce brand engagement.
What next for Consumer Health?
Value sales of consumer health are set to rise over the forecast period, driven by wellness-focused consumers seeking products that support immunity, beauty, gut health and healthy ageing. Singapore’s ageing demographic will continue to underpin growth in scientifically supported supplements. Products containing UC-II collagen, astaxanthin and NMN will remain popular due to their evidence-based benefits. Innovations in format - such as jelly sticks, melt-in-the-mouth tablets and burstlets - will further improve convenience and engagement, with brands like Nature’s Way and Labo Nutrition leading this evolution.
