March - Integrative Medicine Report
Formerly known as the Complimentary & Alternative Medicine (CAM) report, the 2009 Integrative Medicine report features in-depth analysis of the U.S. integrative medicine market in a time where many consumers are looking for less expensive alternatives to conventional healthcare. The report focuses on nine primary alternative health service modalities—Chiropractic, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture, Homeopathy, Massage Therapy, Naturopathy, Ayurveda, Osteopathy, & Nurses and MDs. NBJ presents 12 years worth of data including market size, growth, revenue estimates for therapies and services, and practitioner channel supplement sales. The report also provides consumer healthcare spending estimates and analysis of the condition specific supplement, OTC and Rx markets, with 16 categories ranging from joint health to gastrointestinal health.
April -Natural & Organic Personal Care Report
NBJ builds upon the February natural & organic personal care issue research, with the 2009 N&OPC report featuring over 10 years of data, including market size, growth and company profiles for over 50 of the top N&OPC companies in the U.S. market. Detailed sales by product are presented for cosmetics, skin care, hair care, feminine hygiene, baby care, nail care, oral hygiene, bath items, deodorants, shaving products, soap and aromas & fragrances. Also featured are natural and organic household products including cleaners, pet food, flowers and linens & fibers. The sales by channel section features channels exclusive to the N&OPC category including, department stores, boutiques and salon sales, specialty personal care stores, as well as the classic NBJ channel breakdown including natural and specialty retail, mass market retail, direct-to-consumer sales including internet, and multilevel/network marketing (MLM). Other insights presented in the report include recent mergers and acquisitions, total conventional health & beauty care sales and growth in the U.S., analysis of emerging trends and sales forecasts through 2017.
June - Kids' Nutrition
New for 2009- NBJ presents the inaugural Children’s Nutrition Market report. Building upon the children’s issue, the report quantifies and presents data for market size, growth and sales estimates in the burgeoning kids’ health market from every product category—supplements, healthy foods, natural & organic foods and beverages, and natural & organic personal care. The report uses the classic NBJ sales channel analysis, helping readers gain insights into the business of children’s health and nutrition through an understanding of not only mass market and natural & specialty retail, but also direct-to-consumer sales via the internet, practitioners, MLMs and DRTV/Radio. The report will also cover leading and emerging companies, brands, products and trends in this space.
July -Direct Channels Report
Like retail, the direct-to-consumer sales channels in the U.S. nutrition industry are being affected by the troubled economy, and face a rapidly changing business and regulatory landscape. Though some were hit harder than others, every nutrition industry sales channel tracked by Nutrition Business Journal experienced slower sales growth in 2008 and the same is to be expected in 2009. Despite the consistent slow down, the direct-response channels in the nutrition industry have proven to be more resilient than many other market segments and continued to deliver positive growth in a slumping economy.
September -Supplement Business Report
The Supplement Business Report is NBJ’s most well known report. The 2009 report includes an overview analysis of the U.S. nutrition industry as well as detailed coverage of the dietary supplement industry. This report includes detailed sales quantification and growth forecasts for NBJ’s six main supplement categories: vitamins, minerals, herbs, specialty supplements, meal replacement, and sports nutrition. Detailed sales channel analysis is also included for our six sales and distribution channels (mass market, natural food, specialty retail, multilevel/network marketing, mail order, practitioner and internet) in each product category. The report also provides an introductory look at the global nutrition market as well as consumer trends.
December -Raw Material & Ingredient Supply Report
The world is changing for companies that manufacture and supply raw materials and ingredients for the U.S. nutrition industry—and 2009 is proving to be another eventful year for the raw material & ingredient supply industry. Whether they manufacture raw materials or move ingredients into the market as brokers and distributors, supply companies face a number of opportunities and challenges created by everything from growing consumer concerns over supply safety to the continued impact of new supplement good manufacturing practices on the ingredient supply chain. Raw material suppliers also must deal with the issue of rising input costs and the effect of currency fluctuations while facing reduced or delayed purchase orders from their finished product customers.
