Key findings

COVID-19 has reshaped the consumer landscape

The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the consumer landscape, accelerating changes in what consumers value and prioritise, and how they behave across every aspect of their lives.

Companies and consumers are accelerating their digital adoption

Global consumers, including older consumers who went online during the pandemic, are embracing increasingly digitalised lifestyles. This requires companies to also adopt a strong digital-first, consumer-centric strategy in order to meet the diverse needs of digital consumers.

Home-centric lifestyles are here to stay

Even when the pandemic is over, consumers will continue to seek the comfort of their home, as they are likely to spend more time at home and will not return to the office full time.

Social and environmental responsibility shapes spending decisions

Consumers are placing greater importance on social and environmental concerns and this is increasingly shaping their consumption. Companies need to inspire and enable consumers to make a positive impact while aligning their corporate values with those of the consumer.

Consumers value

Consumers are placing increased focus on value - not just value for money, but also getting products and services that align to their values.
