The vitamin D therapy market is projected to reach USD 3.3 billion by 2024 from USD 1.9 billion in 2019, at a CAGR of 11.6% during the forecast period.

Oral route of administration accounted for a significant share of the market, by route of administration, in 2018
By route of administration, the vitamin D therapy market is segmented into oral and parenteral routes of administration. In 2018, the oral route of administration accounted for the largest market share. This segment is also expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This is mainly due to the ease of administration, better pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic activity, and a higher preference for the oral route.
By purchasing pattern, prescription drugs held the largest share of the vitamin D therapy market in 2018
On the basis of purchasing pattern, the vitamin D therapy market is segmented into OTC and prescription drugs. In 2018, the prescription drugs segment accounted for the largest share of the vitamin D therapy market. The large share of this segment can be attributed to the fact that vitamin D deficiency is mostly diagnosed by registered medical practitioners that provide prescriptions for appropriate medications.
Asia Pacific dominated the vitamin D therapy market in 2018
The Asia Pacific, which includes China, Japan, India, and the Rest of Asia Pacific, accounted for the largest share of the vitamin D therapy market. The large share of this market segment can be attributed to the increasing awareness about vitamin D deficiency and supportive government policies and programs for the implementation of vitamin D deficiency treatment plans, heavy air pollution, sedentary lifestyles, increasing incidence of vitamin D deficiency, atypical diets, decreasing sun exposure, and rising malnutrition levels.
