As more individuals prioritise preventative health measures, the demand for vitamins and supplements surges, with online retailers witnessing impressive revenue growth. According to IBISWorld, revenue is expected to grow steadily at an average rate of 13.4% each year, reaching a total of £1.4 billion over the next five years until 2023-24. Specifically, they foresee a growth of 3.8% in the year 2023-24. During that particular year, the vitamins and supplements companies anticipates having an average profit margin of 11.8%.
However, rising market size leads to more competition. Customers now have practically endless on-demand vitamin and supplement options. If you want to capture their attention and loyalty, you must go above and beyond their expectations.
Vitamin & Supplement Fulfillment
With the global shift to online shopping, supplement and vitamin fulfillment has surpassed traditional brick-and-mortar retail. The emergence of innovative customer supply models, including online subscriptions, delivery services, and package and bundle discounts, will require accurate and efficient fulfillment services.
Vitamins, minerals, and herbal supplements are perishable and require expert knowledge and management. Monitoring storage conditions and batches with full traceability is critical. Effective stock rotation, storage and inventory management, warehousing, and other procedures ensure that customers always receive accurate products.

Secure and clean storage space
Unlike pharmaceuticals, most vitamins and supplements do not require FDA or DEA certification to manage the product, and facilities should be pest-free, have well-maintained processes and procedures, and have safety measures.
