Purchases of hand sanitizer are up 81% at natural retailers and 44% at conventional; immune boosters are up 13% at natural and 6% at conventional
Calls for the public to increase virus prevention appears to not be falling on deaf ears as newly released consumer spending data shows an upward shift in consumer spending on health and wellness related products. SPINS®, the leading provider of wellness-focused data and marketplace intelligence, looked at five segments directly related to virus prevention & care and found an uptick in consumer spending in February 2020 over 2019*, products included:
1. Hand Sanitizer:
2. Immunity-boosting vitamins, supplements and remedies
3. Cold & flu vitamins, supplements and remedies
4. Allergy & respiratory vitamins, supplements and remedies
5. Vitamin C vitamins, supplements and remedies
"The good news is that consumers are listening to health experts and are adding an additional layer of protection in their quest to prevent themselves from getting sick," said Tony Olson, owner and CEO of SPINS. "Our data also points to the role our natural retailer partners are playing in the preventative health and wellness decisions of consumers – large numbers turning to specialty and natural retailers over conventional outlets."
