Consumers are more invested than ever in their day-to-day health and wellbeing, particularly following the COVID-19 pandemic. At the peak of the public health emergency, consumers sought short-term ways to boost their natural defenses. Today, however, they’re no longer looking at immunity in isolation. Instead, they’re interested in supporting a range of physical and mental health factors that — when combined — build the foundation for a robust immune system. In 2022, 78% of global consumers associated poor immunity with susceptibility to long-term health problems, which is 21% more than in 2019. 1 Not only are consumers more aware of the consequences of poor immunity, but 52% are adopting a long-term approach to their health. 2
As consumers increasingly proactively manage their health and wellbeing, there are factors driving purchasing behaviors that go beyond buying for immune benefits alone. Consumers are ever more conscious of what they put in their bodies and are wary of misinformation. As many as 55% globally are concerned about hidden ingredients in products. 2 Consequently, ensuring supplements are high-quality, effective and sustainable is essential to gaining consumer trust. We are also observing an appetite for targeted formulations that address specific demographics. Prioritizing solutions that address age, gender, nutritional needs and health concerns is increasingly important to retaining relevance in a crowded market.
