Expanding to the U.S. Market: How Factory6 Simplifies Supplement Manufacturing
International brands are looking for reliable partners as the global supplement market continues to grow. With many exclusive advantages, the U.S. enables businesses to access the largest consumer market in the world. However, international brands require a dependable manufacturer who can produce high-quality products that meet stringent regulatory standards while thousands of miles apart. At Factory6, we specialize in providing a seamless path from concept to consumer-ready nutraceuticals while maintaining positive relationships with our clients that build long-term trust. In this article, we will explore why international brands benefit from choosing a U.S. manufacturer, the advantages of partnering with Factory6, and how we support our clients in every aspect of production.
Why International Brands Want to Sell to the U.S. Market
The U.S. remains the global leader in the dietary supplement market, making it an attractive destination for international brands looking to expand their reach. There are several compelling reasons why–let’s take a look at a few:
The Largest Supplement Market: The U.S. represents the largest consumer market for dietary supplements, with billions spent annually on health and wellness products. For international brands, this vast market offers unparalleled opportunities for growth and revenue generation. In 2023, the U.S. dietary supplement market was valued at approximately USD 53.58 billion and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7% from 2024 to 2030 (1).
Health-Conscious Consumers: U.S. consumers are increasingly focused on maintaining their health and well-being, creating a strong and ongoing demand for supplements. Whether it’s for energy, cognitive function, weight management, or general wellness, the desire for high-quality, innovative supplements continues to rise.
Expanding Brand Reach: By entering the U.S. market, international brands gain access to not just American consumers, but also a robust distribution network that can help reach other global markets. U.S. retailers, wholesalers, and e-commerce platforms provide international brands with a powerful foundation for growth.
Benefits of Partnering with a U.S. Manufacturer
Partnering with a United States-based manufacturer provides international brands with several advantages. Here’s a look at some of the general benefits that make U.S. manufacturing a wise choice for supplement brands:
Access to U.S. Expertise and Innovation: U.S. manufacturers often lead the way in supplement formulation, packaging, and ingredient research (specifically Utah supplement manufacturers). International brands can benefit from this wealth of knowledge, ensuring their products are both innovative and competitive in the market.
Regulatory Compliance: Navigating the complex U.S. regulatory environment can be challenging for brands unfamiliar with FDA guidelines, Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and labeling standards. Compliant U.S. manufacturers are well-versed in these regulations and can ensure that your products meet all necessary requirements, helping you avoid costly delays or compliance issues.
Efficient Logistics and Distribution Networks: The U.S. has one of the most advanced logistics infrastructures in the world. Partnering with a U.S. manufacturer means easier access to retailers, wholesalers, and e-commerce platforms, all while taking advantage of the country’s vast transportation network. This reduces shipping costs and timeframes, ensuring products reach consumers quickly and efficiently.
Brand Credibility and Consumer Confidence: American-made products often carry a level of prestige and credibility. For international brands, manufacturing in the U.S. enhances your image, signaling quality and reliability to American consumers who trust U.S.-made supplements. This can be especially valuable for breaking into a competitive market.
