In 2020, the online store’s turnover exceeded the EUR4.2 million threshold, up 43% versus 2019.

Also, the number of new clients buying natural products on www.Vegis.ro surged 50% in 2020 versus 2019.

“In 2020, people shopping online were more informed and more careful at their choices, and especially more aware of the impact of the products consumed on their health. We have also noticed an increase in the percentage of young clients aged 18 to 25, and also a diversification of orders, in the sense of buying more varied products and intended for the whole family. The behavior adapted to the new context also maintains in 2021, with the first quarter seeing a significant increase, with the same consumption characteristics”, stated Mihai Bucuroiu, general manager and founder of Vegis.ro.
