Biotin (vitamin B7) is a water-soluble vitamin that belongs to the B vitamins and is involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. It is particularly important for the health of skin, hair, and nails and is often referred to as the "beauty vitamin." Biotin also plays a key role in energy production and blood sugar regulation, helping to maintain healthy nervous system function. With the advancement of scientific research, Biotin has gradually been used in a variety of dietary supplements, such as gummies, tablets, capsules, and powders, to support a variety of functions in the body.
1.Benefits of Biotin
A.Promote Hair and Nail Health
Biotin helps improve hair thickness and nail strength, reduce nail brittleness, and support healthy hair and nail growth. A study showed that participants who took Biotin had a significant increase in hair thickness [1].
Clinical trials and expert opinions: Experts suggest that Biotin has significant benefits for hair and nail health, especially for patients with Biotin deficiency.
B.Support Metabolic Function
Biotin plays a key role in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, helping to maintain normal metabolic function. Studies have shown that Biotin participates in the action of multiple enzymes in the body and promotes the process of converting food into energy [2].
C.Maintaining a healthy nervous system
Biotin is essential for the normal functioning of the nervous system and helps maintain healthy nerve function. Research supports the role of biotin in maintaining a healthy nervous system, especially its potential benefits in preventing neurological diseases [2].
2.Biotin market analysis
2.1 Existing market data
The global market size of biotin is unprecedentedly large. Nutreebio consulted reports from many market institutions. According to the IMARC Group Biotin Pricing Report, the global biotin market size will reach 600,000 tons in 2023 [3].
In terms of regional popularity: Biotin is very popular in countries and regions such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe, especially in the female market as a supplement to promote hair and nail health. The main markets for biotin include:

2.2 Future Market Opportunities
We all know that Biotin has huge future market potential, and Nutreebio has also worked hard to search for relevant authoritative market data. We found three relatively authoritative reports, and the data in them indeed speculated that Biotin has good future market opportunities:
According to the IMARC Group Biotin Pricing Report, the market size is expected to reach 946.9 thousand tons by 2032, with a CAGR of 5.20%.
According to the Allied Market Research Biotin Supplement Market Report, the global Biotin supplement market is expected to reach US$1.4 billion by 2031, with an average annual growth rate of 9.1% [5].
According to the Persistence Market Research Biotin Supplement Market Report, the Biotin supplement market is expected to reach US$6.5 billion by 2030, with an average annual growth rate of 8.6% [6]. These predictions are not groundless, but have rigorous logical arguments. Nutreebio summarizes the growth drivers of Biotin:

- Food and beverage industry: Biotin, as a nutritional supplement, is widely used in the food and beverage industry, driving market growth [4].
- Pharmaceutical industry: Biotin's application in the pharmaceutical industry is also increasing, especially in vitamins and nutritional supplements [4].
In major regions, Biotin still has a wide range of opportunities. In North America, the North American market is expected to continue to grow due to the increase in consumer demand for health and beauty products [4]. In the Asia-Pacific region, with the development of the economy and the increase in consumer purchasing power, the Asia-Pacific region, especially the Chinese and Indian markets, will have huge growth potential [4]. The demand for natural and organic products in the European market has been increasing, which will drive the growth of the Biotin market [3].

3. Product Application and Innovation
3.1 Application of Biotin Ingredients in Products
Biotin (vitamin B7) is an ingredient widely used in health and beauty products. In supplements, its common dosage forms include gummies, tablets, capsules and powders.
In gummies, Biotin is often incorporated into products that are primarily targeted at beauty and personal care. Brands such as Nature’s Bounty and Vitafusion have launched Biotin gummies, which are mainly used to promote healthy hair, skin and nails. Nutreebio has also launched our own Biotin gummies, which not only contain Biotin, but also other beneficial ingredients such as vitamins C and E to enhance skin elasticity and radiance.
Tablets are one of the most common forms of Biotin supplements. Brands such as Solgar and Nature Made have launched high-dose Biotin tablets to help improve hair and nail health.
In capsule form, Biotin is usually used as a single ingredient or in combination with other B vitamins. Biotin supplements in capsule form are usually used by consumers who seek higher bioavailability. Brands such as NOW Foods and Sports Research have launched this form of products, which emphasizes rapid absorption and efficient utilization.
Biotin powder form is often added to functional beverages or foods, providing flexible usage. BulkSupplements launches pure Biotin powder, which is suitable for personalized dosage needs.
3.2 Types of other nutrients that can be added
In Biotin gummies, common nutrients that can be added include vitamin C, minerals, probiotics, collagen and plant extracts. These ingredients are usually designed into compound formulas to provide more diverse health benefits. From Nutreebio's long-term experience, we strongly recommend the combination of vitamin C and Biotin to achieve an enhanced antioxidant effect and help protect the skin from free radical damage. Of course, vitamin D and vitamin E can also be added, which can enhance the immune system and skin health. Adding minerals such as zinc and selenium can further promote the health of the immune system and help the health of hair and nails. Adding probiotics such as lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria can help balance the digestive system. In addition, other ingredients such as collagen and hyaluronic acid can be added to Biotin gummies to further support skin and joint health.
The above ingredients can theoretically be added to Biotin gummies. Why do I say theoretically? Because when adding, the taste and nutritional ratio of the gummy must also be considered. Adding too many nutrients will make the gummy taste worse, so it is particularly important to control the nutritional ratio. For the ratio of nutrients in biotin gummies, the common biotin addition ratio is 5000 micrograms (mcg) per serving, which is the standard dose for many hair, skin and nail health products. In order to maintain the taste and function of the product, it is recommended to balance the ratio of other ingredients in the formula. For example:
Vitamin C: 60-100 mg per serving
Zinc: 10-15 mg per serving
Probiotics: 100-500 million CFU (colony forming units) per serving
The amount of these ingredients added needs to be precisely calculated to ensure the taste and stability of the gummies without affecting their function. These require repeated experiments and proofing in our factory. If the customer has a high-quality formula, we can also customize it according to customer requirements.
3.3 Future Innovation
The application of biotin in dietary supplements will continue to expand and present more innovative forms. As consumers' demand for overall health and beauty grows, biotin may be combined with other high-efficiency ingredients such as collagen, hyaluronic acid and plant antioxidants to develop more complex and targeted products. It may also appear that the dosage and formula of biotin supplements are customized according to personal genes and health conditions. These new formulations can not only meet beauty needs, but also further expand into the fields of joint health, anti-aging and immune support.
In addition, as the functional food market continues to develop, the application of Biotin will also go beyond the traditional supplement form and enter the wider food and beverage field. For example, adding Biotin to functional beverages provides a convenient way to supplement nutrition; making biotin into orally dissolving tablets and fast-absorbing liquids provides more efficient absorption and a more convenient use experience. This provides a huge opportunity for manufacturers and brands to meet the diverse needs of the market through innovative products and take a leading position in the highly competitive health and beauty industry.
