Vitamins & Supplements in Germany: What Consumers Want and Why

• Inflation & the Supplements Market Germany: As inflation restricts people’s spending power, 37% of users cut back on, or stopped using VMS altogether. Going forward, mindful spending will prevail, with many consumers opting for lower-priced products which will increase the market share of private labels. Brands need to emphasise the value they add by designing VMS to support specific lifestyles or deliver superior quality with high bioavailability.
• Opportunities in the Vitamins Supplements Market Germany: However, increased financial stress raises Germans’ need for VMS, for example, to deal with resulting fatigue. In 2023 65% of Germans used VMS and long-term, the market will grow steadily with German consumers attributing greater priority to their health as a result from past crises. This creates opportunities for brands to offer products that support resilience or provide long-lasting energy.
