About this Report
Despite Australia’s mining boom and growing exports to China, many consumers remain concerned about a number of broad economic and personal finance issues. Consumer concerns about the impact of what they see as a ‘two-speed economy’ on household budgets are affecting buying habits. Many are cutting back on spending in the short term, but it is expected that consumer attitudes (and spending) will improve as interest rates stabilise, unemployment holds steady and incomes continue to edge upwards.
Consumer Lifestyle Reports in Australia provide current and detailed snapshots of the unique behaviours, attitudes and spending patterns of consumers in Australia. In addition to covering important core topics like household disposable income, consumer expenditure, savings and credit and housing and home ownership, this report also contains hard-to-find statistics on more specific consumer-related topics like eating and drinking habits, shopping habits, preferred types of stores and retail venues, clothing and fashion trends and descriptions of how consumers spend their leisure and recreation time.
