According to the third installment of a biennial survey L.E.K. Consulting conducted on the healthy living marketplace, U.S. adult consumers spend, on average, a reported $635 on nutritional supplements each year: $433 on vitamins, minerals and herbal supplements (VMS), and $202 on sports nutrition products. And yet, within both categories, there is still room for further growth.
Indeed, when asked about their prior month’s purchases, just 55% of consumers who make H&W a priority said they bought VMS, and only 25% had purchased sports nutrition products. In other words, for retailers and brands there are some significant opportunities — and even a lurking threat — to be found.
