Increasing Government Expenditure on Health Care Sector: In 2010, the Kuwait Government has launched its KD 30 billion NDP (National Development Plan) programe. One of the most important objective of the plan was to modernise and reform the health care system and health infrastructure in the country to meet the needs of the increasing population, and address a sudden and significant growth in NCDs (Non-Communicable Disease). The government has allocated funds to improve the healthcare infrastructure by opeining of new speciality hospitals in the country. For instance: In the year 2017, Kuwait government has spent USD 5.9 billion on healthcare sector, with an increase of 3.7% during the period 2013-2017. This further acted as a key growth factor for retail pharmacy and is projected to play an important role in dealing with the country's projected future healthcare requirements.

On the other hand, introduction of first five year plan namely Kuwait National Programme for healthy living (2013-2017) has further motivated the people to perform daily exercise which augmented the demand of health supplements among people to stay fit.
