(Author: Oliver Merckens)<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-kqaxu13t-1a44a9bf295df6d0910e625611c0e1b8 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>When you think of Germany, many people think of a nation that works hard and is very disciplined. Enjoyment is often not the first priority, rather the price.<\/p>\n<p>As is so often the case, the truth is different, and you have to look closely. Among the approximately 80 million inhabitants, there are many people who attach great importance to good and varied food. It is not for nothing that so many food start-ups have developed in Germany in recent years and the trend seems to be unbroken. This is also evident on the shelves of retailers, who are increasingly <strong>adding new products and brands<\/strong> to their range and testing them. German consumer likes to try out new products and is also open to international specialities. He has already got to know some brands on his numerous international trips.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, the <strong>German food market<\/strong> can be a <strong>very attractive for foreign food producers and food startups<\/strong>. However, anyone considering this should take a close look at the market and its consumers beforehand!<\/p>\n<p>In this article, I touch on a few points that need to be illuminated before entering the market.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Food Consumers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Knowing your consumers precisely is a prerequisite for targeted marketing and for selecting the right sales channels. But more on that later.<\/p>\n<p>It should not be underestimated that the habits and expectations of consumers in the target country are very often different from those in the home country.<\/p>\n<p>This refers to <strong>product packaging, taste and prices,<\/strong> among other things. What works great in the home country may flop in Germany because the product seems foreign, has an &#8220;exotic&#8221; taste or is priced too high. In the end, you have to meet the customer&#8217;s taste so that he or she buys your product. This may mean that you have to develop a special recipe for the German market so that your product will also be successful here.<\/p>\n<p>When <strong>analysing consumers<\/strong>, it makes sense to involve a local expert who can not only assess the regional characteristics but also speaks the language of the customers. A linguistic example of this:\u00a0 &#8220;Wiener Schnitzel&#8221; on a restaurant menu means that the meat comes from veal. &#8220;Schnitzel Wiener Art&#8221;, on the other hand, means that it is pork. Maybe only nuances, but in the end a big difference. Not only in quality, but also in price.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-56q9-181ddce7a05664a7a76f4ab96cc0a72e\">\n.flex_column.av-56q9-181ddce7a05664a7a76f4ab96cc0a72e{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-56q9-181ddce7a05664a7a76f4ab96cc0a72e av_one_full  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kqb0tshi-6178eb1449b97f58c3830d782f153bf8\">\n.avia-image-container.av-kqb0tshi-6178eb1449b97f58c3830d782f153bf8 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-kqb0tshi-6178eb1449b97f58c3830d782f153bf8 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-kqb0tshi-6178eb1449b97f58c3830d782f153bf8 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-4  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-2634 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-2634 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/thinkretail-consulting.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/thinkRETAIL-Consulting-Wiener-Schnitzel-1030x580.jpg\" alt='' title='thinkRETAIL Consulting Wiener Schnitzel'  height=\"580\" width=\"1030\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thinkretail-consulting.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/thinkRETAIL-Consulting-Wiener-Schnitzel-1030x580.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/thinkretail-consulting.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/thinkRETAIL-Consulting-Wiener-Schnitzel-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thinkretail-consulting.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/thinkRETAIL-Consulting-Wiener-Schnitzel-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thinkretail-consulting.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/thinkRETAIL-Consulting-Wiener-Schnitzel-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thinkretail-consulting.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/thinkRETAIL-Consulting-Wiener-Schnitzel-2048x1153.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/thinkretail-consulting.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/thinkRETAIL-Consulting-Wiener-Schnitzel-1500x845.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/thinkretail-consulting.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/thinkRETAIL-Consulting-Wiener-Schnitzel-705x397.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-kqb0yofx-4eaca254d83a77f92598164c2a07e982 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\">How do I get my cut?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2lcv-d256c5f196f4e9ddd631c917e5d93688\">\n.flex_column.av-2lcv-d256c5f196f4e9ddd631c917e5d93688{\nborder-radius:0px 0 0 0px;\npadding:0px 10% 0px 10%;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-2lcv-d256c5f196f4e9ddd631c917e5d93688 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_one_full  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-3hbp-bab3b12aa58474d9fe55732aceb775a5 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2><strong>Competition within the German food market<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Your product is \u00a0certainly unique and also very successful on the domestic market. But do you know the <strong>market situation in Germany<\/strong>? Are there perhaps competitors with comparable products? If so, with which qualities are the products offered? How are they positioned in terms of price? Is your USP still valid here?<\/p>\n<p>A targeted analysis of the market and your target groups is essential to be able to assess the actual situation correctly. The best way to do this is to be on the ground and familiar with the players in the market.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Marketing<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It goes without saying that you should be present where your target groups are (customer journey &amp; touch points). In Germany, too, social <strong>media activities<\/strong> are now standard for a food manufacturer. Depending on the target group, the focus should be on Instagram and TikTok. If the target group is older, Facebook is still a relevant medium. Here, too, the <strong>importance of the &#8220;language&#8221;<\/strong> in the posts should not be underestimated. These should fit the German market and be understandable accordingly. This applies just as much to the product website. German consumers have little desire to learn about products in other languages.<\/p>\n<p>Beside online activities, you should also plan for classic measures. Especially with food products, consumers still want to hold the product in their hands and try it. Plan accordingly for <strong>tasting opportunities<\/strong> (trade fairs, participation in events, your own pop-up stores, etc.) for your new customers. Here, too, it is important to be present where your potential customers are.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Online-Shop<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In the end, it&#8217;s all about sales. A first approach can be to sell via the company&#8217;s own <strong>German online shop<\/strong>. This usually inspires more confidence in the consumer than some foreign store whose pages are often only mediocrely translated. Ask yourself what an online store should look like for you as a customer so that you consider buying a new product.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth the effort, because it&#8217;s about gaining<strong> initial experience in the new market<\/strong> and getting <strong>direct feedback from customers<\/strong>. This is important for you, so that you can see how your product is being received and what adjustments you might still need to make? What&#8217;s more, you can use the practical knowledge you&#8217;ve gained specifically in your discussions with retailers.<\/p>\n<h2>Stationary Trade<\/h2>\n<p>The bigger and therefore more relevant step to successfully conquer the market is access to the<strong> food retail sector<\/strong>, as 40 million households regularly do their grocery shopping there. The big players here are EDEKA, the Schwarz Group (Lidl &amp; Kaufland), REWE (incl. Penny) and the Aldi Group (Nord &amp; S\u00fcd), which now account for about 80% of the market (check my article &#8220;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thinkretail-consulting.de\/en\/what-makes-the-food-retail-industry-tick\">How does the retail industry tick?<\/a><\/strong>&#8220;).<\/p>\n<p>Basically, German retailer are open to innovation and their doors are open. As a <strong>food manufacturer<\/strong>, you need to know what makes food retailers tick and what they expect so that you can represent your interests in the best possible way. The better prepared you are, the more likely you are to be listed.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>One should not be blinded by the huge potential of the German market. Many entrepreneurs want to get started right away and underestimate the differences to the home market. This quickly leads to wrong decisions and unnecessary money is burnt.<\/p>\n<p>It is more effective to ask yourself the right questions beforehand and thus optimally prepare your product for entry into the German market.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kqc0tx75-2879dc8eaf738d9d51b7ab9034aa03c8\">\n.flex_column.av-kqc0tx75-2879dc8eaf738d9d51b7ab9034aa03c8{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\nbackground-color:#ff9900;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-kqc0tx75-2879dc8eaf738d9d51b7ab9034aa03c8 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_one_full  avia-builder-el-last  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><div  class='av-social-sharing-box av-kqbzrz68-9215115239a5fd18677c092240400e6a av-social-sharing-box-default  avia-builder-el-9  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  av-social-sharing-box-fullwidth'><div class=\"av-share-box\"><ul class=\"av-share-box-list noLightbox\"><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-facebook avia_social_iconfont' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on Facebook\" href='https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/thinkretail-consulting.de\/en\/entering-the-german-food-market&#038;t=Entering%20the%20German%20food%20market' data-av_icon='\ue8f3' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'  title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on Facebook'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-whatsapp avia_social_iconfont' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on WhatsApp\" href='https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?text=https:\/\/thinkretail-consulting.de\/en\/entering-the-german-food-market' data-av_icon='\uf232' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'  title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on WhatsApp'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on WhatsApp<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-linkedin avia_social_iconfont' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on LinkedIn\" href='https:\/\/linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&#038;title=Entering%20the%20German%20food%20market&#038;url=https:\/\/thinkretail-consulting.de\/en\/entering-the-german-food-market' data-av_icon='\ue8fc' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'  title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on LinkedIn'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on LinkedIn<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-mail avia_social_iconfont' ><a  aria-label=\"Share by Mail\" href='mailto:?subject=Entering%20the%20German%20food%20market&#038;body=https:\/\/thinkretail-consulting.de\/en\/entering-the-german-food-market' data-av_icon='\ue805' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'  title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share by Mail'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share by Mail<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What you should know about the German Food market and its consumers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2634,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57,46,18,20],"tags":[60,49,47,59],"class_list":["post-2630","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-food-manufacturer","category-food-startups-en","category-food-producer","category-food-startups","tag-buyer","tag-food-manufacturer","tag-grocery-retail","tag-listing"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Entering the German food market - thinkRetail Consulting<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Entering the German food market with the right approach.
