(NewsTraders.com)-- Sales of vitamins and dietary supplements have grown more than 50% in the U.S., Britain and Italy since 1994, according to a published report reported by Reuters. Highlights: - The increase in health awareness and growing acceptance of taking supplements have greatly contributed to the rise, Euromonitor said in a study called "Vitamins and Dietary Supplements: The International Market." - Japan was the largest market with sales topping $10.7 billion in 1998, more than 10 times that of any European market. - Sales in the U.S. reached $6.76 billion last year, driven by strong demand for herbal dietary supplements that was spurred by extensive media interest. - Euromonitor predicts that manufacturers will start to introduce more sophisticated products and target specific groups like pregnant women and children.
