The vegan population has reported a constant increase over the past few years. Further, preventing the exploitation of animals and the environment is a major concern of people shifting to a vegan diet, thereby increasing the demand for plant-based dietary supplements. This is likely to change customers’ preferences toward plant-based herbal supplements and botanicals, offering even more potential for the growth of herbal supplements in the dietary supplements sector. Further, consumer preferences are shifting toward botanical extracts due to their increasing desire for clean-label products, rising concerns about sustainability, and an urgent need to avoid allergens. The demographic for these herbal supplements is transitioning from vegans to flexitarians, indicating changes in customer inclinations. The changing consumer perception that plant-based products are safer and healthier than animal-derived products is driving the demand for plant-based dietary supplements. The growing trend of veganism is driving manufacturers to launch new products. Thus, the rising preference for plant-based herbal supplements is giving rise to several key trends, thereby influencing the growth of the MEA dietary supplements market.
In the MEA region, Turkey, South Africa, Iraq, and Israel are among the major countries with a large number of COVID-19 confirmed cases and deaths. According to the International Finance Corporation, the COVID-19 pandemic has a severe impact on the economy of the MEA, which has led to declining oil production, tourism, and remittances. The quarantine measures implemented for sanitary purposes in the region have led to a standstill of several activities across diverse economic sectors. The MEA region comprises many growing economies, which are prospective markets for dietary supplements vendors. However, the pandemic has significantly increased the growth of the dietary supplements market in the region due to various health benefits associated with it that help in improving the immune system.
Based on type, the probiotics segment is expected to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period in the market.

As opposed to pharmaceuticals, probiotics are a natural approach used to prevent various disorders connected to gut health, gastrointestinal conditions, and immune building. The development of innovative delivery systems, including powders, capsules, gummies, and chewable products, is driving the segment's growth. Furthermore, the unexpected impact of COVID-19 has created a need for products that improve immunological health, thereby increasing the demand for probiotic supplements.
