CHICAGO, Dec. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — 2021 will go down as one of the most challenging years for retailers, from supply chain issues, staffing struggles, shifting shopper behaviors, and meeting the needs and demands of smarter consumers. SPINS Product Intelligence (PI) helped the wellness industry navigate these issues and is poised to help retailers and brands accelerate innovation in 2022. SPINS predicts that for the retail industry, this coming year will see accelerated investments in innovation and more rapid consumer adoption of products that fulfill the needs of their wellness journey.
Using Product Intelligence, SPINS has created and released year-end trends report* that provides deep insights into how consumer preferences are translating to shopping behavior. SPINS (PI) deploys machine learning, proprietary attribute mapping, and human knowledge to add a layer of intelligence that enhances the usefulness of raw product data. Product Intelligence helps retailers provide innovative merchandising, inform consumer experiences, and facilitate shopper discovery.
"Product Intelligence plays a critical role in helping retailers understand emerging trends and identify the innovation they need to help meet the changing requirements of their customers," said Tony Olson, CEO, SPINS. "We currently have over 380 consumer-facing attributes and over 1 billion data points that are able to identify actionable insights around innovation for both brands and retailers. An example of the power of our Product Intelligence is our omnichannel view of supplements, which shows that while in-store has over 70 percent of volume, almost two-thirds of the growth in this category is coming from online. This is the type of trend data retailers need to compete and succeed in the ever-evolving consumer omnichannel spending world."
NEW SPINS PRODUCT INTELLIGENCE TREND DATA
The health and wellness industry has seen a secular shift in consumers' focus toward better-for-you products. And while the spotlight typically falls on food and beverage, newer areas of considerable growth include alcohol, vitamin and supplements, and clean label skincare. New research shows that shoppers are applying the same attention to the ingredients in a variety of everyday products that they use as they are in their meal ingredients. To be able to better track changes in these areas, SPINS launched new attributes in August and the latest information highlights a need for these categories to be on the radar screens of retailers going forward. New trend data includes:
Vitamins and Supplements
New consumers were introduced to supplements during the pandemic, and we are seeing that translate to significant growth in areas of cognitive health, sleep support, and performance nutrition.
Vitamins & supplements saw 43% YoY growth on Amazon.
Adaptogens and Nervines are both seeing growth. These are groups of herbs that contain ingredients like Ashwagandha, Lemon Balm, and Eleuthero. While Adaptogens are said to help build resistance to stress and nourish the glandular system, nervines are traditionally used to sooth stress and ease the mind.
Probiotic ingredients are being used in extended applications that include more than just microbiome support. These bacteria can also be used to promote well-being and ease stress.
There is attention on emotional wellbeing and stress support in the ever-changing COVID era.
Body Care
Body care categories are recovering from the dip they saw during lockdowns. Clean label products are driving growth with commonly avoided ingredients declining in most categories.
Shoppers are choosing cleaner label products. This is causing all types of brands/manufacturers to shift toward cleaner formulations.
Discover what ingredients are motivating and resonating with shoppers across the Body Care department with Product Intelligence attribution. Ingredients that are growing quickly – Bakuchiol, Charcoal, Turmeric, and Hyaluronic Acid.
Alcohol
Ready to drink (RTD) cocktails are here to stay. Up 143% over the past two years, these cocktails are convenient and offer an alternative to traditional RTDs in alcohol, most commonly beer. They also make it so you don't have to be a mixologist at home, providing specialty crafted options. Non-alcoholic beverages are up 29%.
Hard Seltzers slow down but continue to outpace Beer after record growth for both during shutdown
Energy & Grocery brands break into FMB/Seltzer capitalizing on a crowded market through instant shopper recognition and pre-built brand capital

Dr. David Katz, preventive medicine specialist and president at the True Health Initiative, reacts to the recent approval of COVID-19 pills from Pfizer and Merck, and how much of a difference the pills will make in combating COVID-19's spread.
Shares of Moderna (NASDAQ: MRNA) were down 3% as of 10:53 a.m. ET on Thursday after having been off by as much as 5.9% earlier. This move continued a downward trend that began Monday with concerns easing about the potential impact of the omicron variant of COVID-19. The combination of those study results and the FDA authorizations for oral COVID-19 therapies presents a double whammy for vaccine stocks other than Pfizer.
The Food and Drug Administration’s authorization of Pfizer (ticker: PFE) Covid-19 pill Paxlovid on Wednesday offered some hope. The authorization represents an extraordinary coup for Pfizer, its second of the pandemic. Analysts expect Pfizer to sell $21.7 billion worth of the drug in 2022, according to FactSet, though the company now says that it will make 120 million courses of the drug next year, 40 million more than previously forecast, which will probably drive those estimates higher.
Novavax CEO Stanley Erck speaks with Yahoo Finance Live about the efficacy of Novavax vaccines and the path to FDA authorization amid a surge of the Omicron variant.
OPKO Health Inc (NASDAQ: OPK) has announced preliminary topline results from its Phase 2 trial with Rayaldee to treat mild-to-moderate COVID-19.

By Day 7, mean serum 25D levels increased with Rayaldee treatment to 82 ng/mL and remained elevated for the trial duration, with 88% of subjects attaining the targeted le
The huge decline came after the company announced results from its phase 3 Enigma 2 and its phase 2/3 Kryptos clinical studies evaluating lirentelimab. Allakos reported that both clinical studies met their histologic co-primary endpoints.
The small company, formed as the Covid pandemic started to take hold in February 2020, could take its oral drug into a late-stage clinical trial as early as the first half of next year.
The effects of the trial that began 10 years ago this past summer can still be seen today in the approach biotech companies take to developing drugs for rare diseases.
While some in the life sciences industry create drugs and devices to tackle the Covid-19 pandemic, their colleagues are busy as ever raising money, testing new drugs, expanding facilities and more.
Pfizer's pending acquisition of Arena Pharma includes Olorinab, a candidate that acts with the cannabinoid type 2 receptor to treat gastrointestinal disorders.
The once-dominant Delta variant has now been bypassed in the U.S. by a new iteration of the coronavirus: Omicron. This new variant accounts for more than 73 percent of COVID cases in the country now, making it the dominant version of the virus, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Cases are also spiking in several parts of the U.S. now because of the Omicron variant. While the earlier Delta surge over the summer had many health officials turning to vaccine mandates
What happened Shares of Teladoc Health (NYSE: TDOC) were falling 3.2% as of 2:42 p.m. ET on Wednesday. The decline appeared to be linked to reduced concerns about the impact of the coronavirus omicron variant.
As we head into 2022, the U.S. will be entering its third year of COVID. Many virus experts had previously said they expected the new year would bring about the end of the pandemic, as they predicted Delta would be the last wave and hit its peak around Thanksgiving. But that same week, a new variant of the virus was detected. Omicron has spread so quickly, it's now the dominant variant in the U.S., accounting for more than 73 percent of infections in the country, according to the latest data fro
US drugstore chains CVS and Walgreens are limiting the number of rapid at-home covid-19 test individual customers can buy at one time, in response to a surge in demand ahead of the holidays. With covid infections once again on the rise, likely due to the omicron variant, Americans have scrambled to purchase over-the-counter tests. “We ask that our customers please show patience and understanding as together, we continue to navigate the evolving pandemic environment,” Walgreens president John Standley said yesterday (Dec. 21).

In a year when the Covid-19 pandemic and its variants were mostly kept at bay by the Bay — relative to other parts of the country at least — the biotech and health news flow didn't slow. Here's a quick look at the stories that made the cut: With a $575 million IPO in April, Zymergen Inc. (NASDAQ: ZY) was the poster child for synthetic biology.
