MIlano, 3 Jul. (askanews) – A healthy sector. Food supplements is a sector that in Italy manages to significantly affect the national economy.
A panorama that supplements & health, a reference association and part of the Italian Food Union, photographed, with the technical and methodological support of Pwc Italia, an unprecedented analysis on the socio -economic impacts that the food supplements sector has contributed to generating for the country system in the year 2023. We spoke with Germano Scarpa, president of supplements & health:
“The food supplements market in Italy, but I would say in Europe, is going very well: it is a market that continues to grow. Clearly, it no longer grows as a double figure like ten years ago, but grows over 5% and therefore I would say that it is a market, for the size it has taken on, in perfect health. Italy then still has the primacy in Europe: it is a market that, even in the current year (that is, in 2025), 5 Billion of turnover “.
Numbers that indicate a positive trend and push the arrow of the growth of the sector upwards. An impact that politics must accompany and channel even for the benefit of other sectors. We talked to Diego Artuso, Pwc Italy Director:
“We have estimated a contribution to the national GDP of over 4.6 billion euros. The impact at employment level is also very important, overall more than 50 thousand equivalent workers are estimated, therefore full -time workers. Another data on which I would focus is employment, because it involves the workforce with university education force: 34% even compared to a national average of 24%; and then female mainly: for 50% female employment against a female employment. national average of 42%”.
In short, a flagship sector, driven by innovation and research. Capable of generating wealth and impulse to the survey.
