    Regulatory Harmonization Set to Boost Supplement Market in ASEAN Region

    Cooperation on shared desire to ensure high levels of product safety and quality opens up new opportunities for the region.

    A new report has highlighted how cooperation between industry and government have helped ASEAN (the Association of Southeast Asian Nations) to develop an agreement to harmonize the cross-border regulation of dietary/health supplements.
     
    After 16 years of complex discussions, ASEAN’s 10 Member States are now close to finalizing the ASEAN Agreement on Regulatory Framework for Health Supplements. Once ratified, it will reduce non-tariff technical barriers to the trade in supplements between ASEAN countries and usher in a new era for the supplement sector in Southeast Asia.
     
    The report, ASEAN’S Road to Harmonisation, explains the background to the agreement and reveals how industry associations and regulators worked together on the details. It has been published by the ASEAN Alliance of Health Supplement Associations (AAHSA) and the International Alliance of Dietary/Food Supplement Associations (IADSA).
     
    The decision to harmonize was originally made in 2004. Early on in the development of the agreement, the supplement sector was invited to contribute expert scientific input. In response, in 2006, industry groups across ASEAN formed AAHSA to act as a united voice during the harmonization process. Reflecting its positive contribution, AAHSA is an accredited Business Organization officially listed as an “Entity Associated with ASEAN.”
     
    “The way in which industry and regulators have worked together in ASEAN can act as a blueprint for success throughout the world,” said Daniel Quek, AAHSA chairman. “Through AAHSA, the private sector has been able to demonstrate its commitment to achieving the same aims as government. In particular, it played an important role in developing the 10 annexes that form the backbone of the agreement, covering important topics such as a negative list of banned ingredients, substantiation of safety and health claims, labeling requirements, and more.”
     
    AAHSA worked alongside IADSA, the global association of the food supplement sector, with members from six continents. Simon Pettman, IADSA executive director, commented, “The associations provided expertise from the beginning of this process, and to have reached this point is a great success story not just for ASEAN but also for the world, because it provides an excellent model for others to follow.”
     
    He continued: “In creating the conditions for supplement businesses in ASEAN to thrive, harmonization acts as a catalyst for attracting investment by health supplement players from both within the region and elsewhere in the world, leading to an increase in production capacity, research & development, economic growth and job creation in the region.”
     
    Governments in ASEAN consider health supplements to be a priority sector. The market continues to grow globally, which means there is a shared desire among ASEAN countries to ensure products sold in the region are manufactured to high levels of safety and quality. 
     
    Furthermore, there is a recognition that growth in the global market for health supplements represents an opportunity for ASEAN to leverage its position as a world leader in the sector, particularly in the area of herbal ingredients, capitalizing on significant biodiversity in the region. 
     
    Quek said that harmonization would provide a sizeable boost to the supplements market in the region. “The health supplements market in ASEAN is forecast to record a compound annual growth rate of 5.6% between 2018 and 2026, to reach a value of $10.6 billion,” he explained. “AAHSA estimates that harmonization has the potential to add up to 8% to this, driven largely by the reduction of technical obstacles to trading across borders in ASEAN.”
     
    Pettman added: “Aligning ASEAN’s technical requirements and guidelines for health supplements more closely with the rest of the world makes local companies more competitive on the global stage and opens up new opportunities for them to export. Most important of all, harmonization helps to protect consumers living in ASEAN Member States by setting rigorous standards and providing access to safe and high-quality products.”
     
    ASEAN (the Association of Southeast Asian Nations) was established in 1967 to encourage economic growth in Southeast Asia. Its 10 Member States are Brunei Darussalam, Lao PDR, Philippines, Cambodia, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Myanmar, Thailand and Viet Nam.
