The dietary supplement industry continues to generate billions of dollars in tax revenue and wages earned amid widespread consumer use of natural products in the U.S.
The dietary supplement industry’s total economic contribution to the U.S. economy in 2023 was more than $158 billion, or about .57% of gross domestic product, according to a recently released report by the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN). This represents a 23% increase ($121.6 billion) from 2016 when CRN issued its previous economic impact report.
