The key regions considered for the Global Vitamin D Therapy Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America dominated the market in 2022 owing to the growing awareness of vitamin D deficiency, extensive research to develop more patient-friendly products with improved efficacy and the rise in healthcare spending.

Physical inactivity rates vary across states and territories, ranging from 17.7% in Colorado to 49.4% in Puerto Rico. This decline in physical activity heightens the risk of vitamin D deficiency among individuals, potentially fueling the demand for treatment and bolstering market expansion. Whereas, Asia Pacific is expected to grow at the highest CAGR over the forecast years. The growing awareness regarding vitamin D deficiency and bolstered by supportive government initiatives aimed at implementing treatment plans for addressing vitamin D deficiency are significantly propelling the market demand across the region. Additionally, factors such as significant air pollution levels, sedentary lifestyles, escalating incidence of vitamin D deficiency, unconventional dietary habits, reduced sun exposure, and rising malnutrition levels contribute to the increasing demand for vitamin D deficiency treatment in the region.
