A recent report published by Euromonitor International indicates that sales of vitamins and dietary supplements in Latvia is constantly growing, mainly through major grocery retailers and direct selling.
The researchers noted that dietary supplements were expected to witness slightly faster growth over the next five years. This forecast is based upon the growing education of Latvian consumers about daily diets and the possible role of dietary supplements in human metabolism.
The researchers added that vitamins were expected to have higher sales value mainly due to the strong development of private labels such as Yomi.
