TikTok influences retail trends in food and drugstore sectors
Social media platforms, particularly TikTok, are increasingly acting as economic drivers by shaping consumer trends across various sectors. In the food industry, specific products like Skyr have seen sudden surges in demand due to viral recipes, such as high-protein Lotus cheesecakes and Skyr-based energy drink protein shakes favored by the fitness community.
This influence extends beyond food into the drugstore and book markets. Retailers like Rossmann and dm are actively monitoring social media to adapt to trends, while the book industry is being significantly impacted by the BookTok community. Digital transformation consultant Björn Ognibeni notes that the effectiveness of these trends is no longer a matter of debate, as they now influence sectors traditionally considered disconnected from digitalization.
