According to the research findings of the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF), one in three women and one in five men above the age of 50 are prone to suffer a fracture during their lifetime. Malnourishment, increasing consumption of alcohol and tobacco, and hormonal imbalance are causing bone and skin disorders associated with vitamin D deficiency.
Oral routes of administration reign over the vitamin D therapy market in the present scenario. It is very popular with children due to its ease of administration and is formulated in different sizes and colors, which increase its external aesthetic appeal and hence increase its palatability in children.
It is also beneficial for improving vitamin D levels in adults with no systemic illness. Parenteral routes are gaining traction on account of their inherent features, such as an excellent pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic drug profile useful in elderly patients suffering from impaired vitamin D absorption via the gastrointestinal tract.
Osteoporosis is currently dominating the applications segment of the vitamin D therapy market. As per the latest statistics provided by the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF), globally, osteoporosis causes 8.9 million bone fractures, occurring every 3 seconds. Increased consumption of calcium and vitamin D-rich diets, as well as hormonal imbalances associated with human aging, are risk factors for osteoporosis.
The occurrence rate is higher in the female population as compared to the male population. Malnutrition is causing rickets in children at an early age in developing and poor countries. Skin diseases are receiving a lot of attention because of the massive loss of ozone layers, which allows harmful U.V. radiation to reach the skin's surface, depleting keratinocytes that are needed for Vitamin D3 synthesis. Skin inflammatory diseases such as atopic dermatitis and psoriasis are associated with depleted levels of skin vitamin D.
North America currently accounts for 33% of the regional vitamin D therapy market. The major factors influencing its market growth are the rising prevalence of osteoporosis and low bone mass.

Increasing public health awareness in the region will further propel the market's growth. Europe is in second place, holding 30% of the market share, owing to the rising prevalence of skin disorders associated with low serum cholecalciferol levels. Favorable reimbursement scenarios for vitamin D therapy support market growth in the European Region.
