Get insights about what matters most: our consumer
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we have all witnessed the booming sales data, the empty shelves, and the out of stocks coming from the supplement aisle. However, there is more to discover about the attitudes and behaviors of the supplement consumer throughout the health crisis. Restricted access, less disposable income and sustained changes in lifestyle behaviors continue to affect household purchasing habits of Americans across the country—including dietary supplements.
CRN’s COVID-19 and 2020 surveys reveal insights into changes in supplement usage throughout the pandemic and overall usage of supplements over the past year. While the COVID-19 survey demonstrates a subset of supplement users have increased their supplement routine, 2020 data reveals that the overall usage among Americans is slightly down from previous years. Do not miss the opportunity to access these critical resources to gain insight about the supplement consumer and navigate usage trends throughout the pandemic.
