Influencer Marketing Germany: Current Market Landscape

Due to the cost-of-living crisis consumers’ budgets are still strained, causing brands to scale back their spending on ads, and consumers to spend more cautiously. Nevertheless, influencers in Germany can be used as a valuable source for reassurance and advice, resonating with consumers’ prioritisation of value purchases.

Moreover, as mid-aged users increase their presence on social media platforms, e.g. for entertainment or content creation, influencer marketing in Germany will become increasingly applicable beyond a younger target group.

Germany Influencer Marketing: What Consumers Want and Why

  • Consumer Behaviour towards Influencer Marketing in Germany: With 93% of 16 to 24-year-old social media users following and viewing content from influencers, they are the main target group of influencer marketing in Germany. Young men especially look up to them, underpinning their role model function. This creates opportunities for brands to appeal to this target group through closer collaborations with influencers.
  • Influencers in Germany: 56% of 16 to 34-year-olds trust that the influencers they follow actually like the products they advertise. Simultaneously however, 48% think that influencers tend to say what their followers want to hear. This calls for more authenticity in Germany influencer marketing to build up a solid level of trust. Mintel’s experts will be able to give you actionable insights to increase consumers’ trust.

Market Outlook on Influencer Marketing in Germany

  • With the growth of content creators’ importance to social media platforms, they can expect increased support from platforms in connecting them with brands.

    Trusted by global industry leaders

    One of the biggest challenges we face is the need to get smart on a business or category real quick.

    We are talking to clients who live and breathe their category every day and the expectation is that we will be able to get caught up very quickly, and bring the thinking that can help them.

    We need to do that often in a matter of days, so it’s not a small ask. Mintel gives us a very articulate view of category conditions and does so at the speed we need it.

    Jeff White, Business Development Director, Deutsch

    We’ve found it so useful working more closely with Mintel. They helped support our recent flagship event for our top suppliers by providing a really unique viewpoint on the future of online retailing.

    Nick Carroll from their Retail Team was also an excellent panelist, sharing useful and actionable consumer insights. We definitely look forward to working with Mintel again on future projects.

    Zac Steele, E-Commerce Trading Development Manager, Waitrose & Partners

    Working in a customer-obsessed organization means that data and insights have to be at our fingertips. Mintel’s reports help us support anecdotes with real quantifiable insights. The summary sections (which I really like) helps save time by giving a birds eye view of the content before spending time combing through the pages.

    Our business review discussions are strengthened by the relevancy of the reports to help us better understand our customers. In addition, the customer service received from the team (especially in crunch periods) makes the process of understanding customer behavior even better.

    Ngozi Ngonadi-Nkwoji, Senior Marketing Manager, Amazon

    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

    When I’m investigating specific sectors I tend to use Mintel reports for their forecasting, which I’ve always found to be very accurate.

    They also offer really broad and deep coverage in their reports. They are very, very detailed. For example, we were able to gain insight across a wide range of business areas from just one report, proving that Mintel is excellent value for money.

    So overall, it’s the level of detail and the quality of forecasting that really stand out for me.
