Japan’s Aging Demographic Drives Surge in Bone-and-Joint Supplement Demand

Description: Exploration of how Japan’s senior population is influencing the rise of supplements targeting bone and joint health.

Japan is one of the fastest-aging societies globally, with over 30% of its population expected to be aged 65 or older in the coming years.

Retailers are also bundling such supplements with wellness coaching and physical therapy consultations.
