Five Wellness Categories Private Label Manufacturers Should Be Tapping Into

 

From clean skincare on vanity shelves to functional snacks in shopping baskets, wellness is no longer just a trend, it’s becoming a daily priority for millions of consumers.

More people are actively seeking products that help them feel better, look better and live well. And the momentum is only building. The GCC health and wellness market is expected to reach $118.6 billion by 2032 and globally, the wellness category is expected to reach $9 trillion by 2028, expanding well beyond food into how we move, sleep, age and feel.

This shift has made wellness one of the most dynamic and opportunity-rich spaces for innovation and private label brands are well placed to respond.

Why Private Labels Should Be Watching the Wellness Space?

Private labels are gaining ground fast, holding around 40% of the consumer goods market. And there's plenty more room to grow. Just take the wellness supplements category, which alone is projected to reach $496.61 billion by 2032, growing steadily at almost 8% per year.

But with opportunity comes competition. The wellness space is becoming increasingly crowded, which means standing out requires more than following trends. Brands need to anticipate what’s next and be ready to act.

So, what exactly are consumers reaching for? And how can private label businesses respond with the right products at the right time?

Here are five high-growth wellness categories worth exploring, to expand your range and meet consumer demand.

Vitamins

1. Vitamins and Supplements

This category continues to see strong demand, with more consumers looking for personalised solutions to support their everyday health. From adaptogens for stress to probiotics for gut health and collagen for skin and joints, the interest in functional, evidence-backed supplements is rising. Private label brands have an opportunity to offer clean, targeted and affordable options that deliver meaningful benefits.

2. Healthy Snacks and Superfoods

Snacking is evolving, not disappearing. Today’s consumers are choosing smarter snacks: protein-rich, nutrient-dense and often with added functional benefits like focus, energy or immune support. Private labels can stand out with products that balance convenience, health and taste, such as superfood bites, plant-based bars and gut-friendly snacks.

3. Personal Care and Clean Beauty

Beauty is no longer just skin deep. Consumers are looking for products that make them look good and feel good, with a strong focus on natural, non-toxic and sustainable choices. Private label brands that offer transparent ingredients, eco-conscious packaging and plant-based formulas can gain trust and loyalty in this rapidly growing category.

4. Functional Beverages

Drinks are doing more than quenching thirst. Consumers are turning to functional beverages that support energy, focus, digestion, immunity and relaxation, all without added sugar or artificial ingredients. From adaptogenic teas to vitamin-infused waters and probiotic shots, the category is growing fast.

Private label brands can tap into this demand by offering drinks that combine convenience, flavour and wellness benefits in one grab-and-go format.

5. Wellness-led Baby Care

Today’s parents are more wellness-conscious than ever and that extends to the products they use for their children. There's rising demand for gentle, natural and non-toxic baby care, including skincare, wipes, nappies and baby nutrition options made with clean ingredients and sustainable practices. Private label brands that prioritise safety, transparency and softness can win trust with modern families looking for better everyday essentials for their little ones.
