The 2022 ITC Insights Supplement Consumer Survey was fielded in Spring 2022 and covers dietary and food supplement consumer buying behaviors and priorities across the US, UK, Germany, Italy, and China. It measures how behaviors have changed over the past several years, especially 2019 through 2021. The survey includes 1,000 US, 500 UK, 500 German, 500 Italian and 1000 Chines users, all of whom use supplements to some extent. Starting with overall supplement use, including popular categories such as multivitamins, vitamin D and omega-3s, the reports then dives specifically into ingredient category users and indexes the category against others as it measures health issues and concerns, where they shop, how much they spend, how they consider branded ingredients, then what they look for when purchasing the ingredient, where consumers get their information and their values surrounding trust, transparency and sustainability.
