The vitamin K market share from the osteoporosis application segment exceeded USD 171 million in 2022.

As per the US Surgeon General's report, nearly 10 million people aged 50 years and above in the U.S. suffer from osteoporosis. The growing focus on reducing the chances of bone fractures and the subsequently rising intake of vitamin K supplements will drive the industry expansion.
North America vitamin K market size will reach over USD 858 million by 2032 owing to the surging prevalence of chronic diseases and coagulation disorders.

The increasing number of hospitals, growing government initiatives and the strong presence of pivotal pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industry players will also add to the regional market progress.
