MediaMarkt’s portfolio of products is enormous: from smartphones to tablets, from washing machines to fully-automated coffee makers, from sound systems to XXL TVs – at MediaMarkt stores, customers will always find the very latest brand-name products that the consumer electronics, communications, and electrical appliances industries have to offer. By establishing a close link between e-commerce and conventional retailing, MediaMarkt is transforming itself into a true omnichannel retailer.

Context of the health challenge

MediaMarkt wants to conquer new ground and increase its footprint in the healthcare and wellbeing sector. This is seen as a perfect match as MediaMarkt already offers products in that area - e.g. products related to fitness & sports like fitness trackers, health devices like blood pressure monitors, baby care products, solutions around nutrition & cooking, dental care offerings, and air treatment solutions.

Upcoming developments in the healthcare and wellbeing area very tech-related – which perfectly fits to the MediaMarkt image.

Besides, with its stores, MediaMarkt is the perfect cooperation partner for providers with a pure online presence in order to make their offerings experienceable.

Together with you, we want to develop a picture of how such a healthcare and wellbeing area in the store of the future could look like.
