...24 pages of detailed market
data and strategic analysis of Retailing in the the Nutrition Industry
Excerpt from overview...
Retail sales of nutrition products rose x% in 1999 to reach $38 billion in
sales in roughly 250,000 retail outlets across the United States, or 84% of
total consumer sales from all channels in the $45.2-billion U.S. nutrition
industry, according to research conducted by Nutrition Business Journal.
Growth continued at an estimated rate of x% in 2000 based on interim data
available to NBJ, but while retail is still growing at a healthy pace, it’s
slower than the double-digit annual increases savored throughout most of the
past decade. “The softening that started in the third quarter of 1998 has
continued,” said Danny Wells, president of Danny Wells and Associates
(Martinez, Calif.), a consulting firm for retailers in the natural products
industry. “This has affected some channels more than others.”
