With the tropical onset of diabetes type 2 in Thailand after the age of 50; the aging of Thai population points towards rise of the disease burden. Increasing obesity in children and adults is also leading to diabetes. It was observed that 4.1 million Thai adults are pre-diabetic presently. Obesity leads to more than a seven-fold increase in the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

75.0% people with diabetes in Thailand are observed to use non-prescribed supplements (herbal, vitamin, mineral, or others) and alternative medications in Thailand due to which the demand for the supplements has increased over the years. Ken Research in its latest study, Thailand Nutraceuticals Market Outlook to 2021 suggested vitamin and minerals in dietary supplements segment will continue to dominate the market during the forecast period. Aging population coupled with low calcium intake in Thai population especially amongst the rural population has resulted in high prevalence of low Vitamin D and low bone mineral density levels in Thai population. As a result of which, the intake of the vitamin and mineral supplements has been high as doctors prescribed these supplements for proper functioning of the body.
