From classic pretzel sticks to new trends such as energy balls and nut butter cups - the choice is huge! You'll find almost 150 snacks in our range, including nuts and dried fruit. KoRo is on everyone's lips and we deal with what you nibble and snack on almost every day.
We asked ourselves: What is the favorite snack in Germany? Who snacks more, northern or southern Germans? Do people snack less as they get older? Questions upon questions and only one answer: if you don't ask, you don't win!
We sat down with the Appinio market research team and surveyed 1,000 people in Germany between August 22 and 24, 2023. And now it's getting scientific, because we wanted to do it right: We even observed the quality criteria of quantitative research (objectivity, reliability, validity). In other words, our KoRo snack study is representative and reflects a cross-section of Germans.
The results are exciting and we naturally want to share them with you! As we have a data set of thousands of responses, we can only show the top 10 highlights here. But if you have any questions about the details of our snack study or the results, you can of course always get in touch with us.
