An Overview of the Pizza Market in Germany

88% of German consumers eat any retail or home-baked pizza, with consumption peaking among 16 to 24-year-olds. While price rises have caused a third of Germans to cut down on retail pizza, love of Italian food, coupled with utility offered by supermarket choices, ensures that the Germany pizza market size remains steady.

Long-term, digital media, such as social media content and gaming, will be essential in retaining young users’ attention and to balance moderation in ageing consumers in Germany.

Germany Pizza Market Research: What Consumers Want and Why

  • The Impact of Inflation on Pizza in Germany: Rising prices are causing 33% of retail pizza consumers to cut down usage. With foodservice menu costs also on the rise, and the VAT for foodservice in Germany set to increase, some diners could trade down to retail in 2024. Premiumisation through rare toppings will win pizza market share Germany with restaurant goers, while energy-efficient cooking methods can keep loyal but cash-strapped users onside.
  • Sustainability in the Pizza Market in Germany: At 60% the majority of Germans expect brands to take the lead in addressing environmental issues. As a first step, brands are likely to shift to locally sourced components, as 42% of German consumers agree that eco-friendly ingredients are more important than being sourced in a particular region. In the long run, brands will be expected to make more fundamental changes to pizza’s composition, thus, plant-based cheese and meat substitutes will likely become inherent to pizzas as brands look to wrestle back their carbon output.

A Pizza Germany Market Forecast

  • Health and environmental consciousness, accelerated by the BMEL’s 2024 Nutrition Strategy and 2030 Organic Farming Strategy, will necessitate a shift to a healthier, plant-based future. With pizza being vegetarian by nature, brands can position their products as a gateway to meat reduction.
  • An increased use of home-baked pizza, driven by both health and hobby interest, threatens the retail sector of pizza Germany. Hard-to-recreate features, such as low-temperature ferments or fortified crusts will add value, tempting bakers back to retail choices.

Trusted by global industry leaders

At Jackman, we believe that powerful strategies are based on human insight. Mintel’s leading-edge reports and insights into consumer attitudes and behaviors are an important input as we develop and execute strategy.

Alana Gavin, VP Research and Insights, Jackman

We use Mintel to inform our thinking and reinforce strategy. If you’re presenting new ideas, it’s essential they are underpinned by robust data and evidence, and clearly rooted in fact.

Mintel gives us all that. It’s a great brand and one that is trusted by clients.

Marie Stafford, European Director, The Innovation Group, VML

Mintel helps us when we want to know something quickly – it provides fast answers to our questions. If we need to get a view of what’s going on in a particular market it’s very useful.

When carrying out background research, I find Mintel an excellent starting point.

The fact that it covers so many markets is a big plus for me– instead of having to buy specialist products in each area we are interested in, especially when we only require a brief view on a particular market, we can go to Mintel for help as a one-stop shop. I find Mintel a useful and valuable resource.

Ben Zeidler, Director - Research and Analytics, Tenth Wave

There is no question that Mintel is the go-to resource for the best quality market research, but I did not think it was an affordable option for Abacus Marketing to consider. As a small marketing agency, we only work with a few new clients each year.

However, we have a very high-end consultative approach to our work, so we really do need a partner like Mintel to provide the big agency experience we are always aiming to deliver. Our clients come from an incredibly diverse range of industry sectors, so we obviously need access to market research reports from a very wide spectrum of marketplaces – and that is precisely what we got.

Stephen Taylor-Brown, Managing Director, Abacus

We utilize Mintel Reports, Trends and Comperemedia to mine for insights across the numerous business verticals that Epsilon serves, such as CPG, automotive, telecom, healthcare/pharma, retail and financial services.

By integrating Mintel insight into new business opportunities, we have been able to gain the competitive edge necessary to advance partnerships with global brands and key business players.

For our organization, it’s about depth and breadth. Having one without the other doesn’t enable success in our business.

Virginia Harvey, Secondary Research Manager, Epsilon
