Profiting From Consumer Mega-Trends In Asia Pacific: Convenience - Market Research Report On Aarkstore Enterprise

Introduction

This report takes the core Asia Pacific content from DMCM4691 and expands upon that to offer additional insight covering a wider selection of Asian countries

Scope

*Detailed trend analysis outlining what constitutes 'value' for consumers (trends are, after all, a reflection of what's important to consumers)

*Offers Asia Pacific focused insights, benchmarked against global sentiment, to cater for contextualized regional-specific information needs

*Covers all major FMCG sectors, but also with applicability to wider consumer goods audiences

*Part of Datamonitor's Asia Pacific mega-trend report series which outline the most important issues shaping current and future buying behavior

Highlights

Good trend-watching is about taking the bigger-picture approach. Adopting a broader global perspective to trend-tracking facilitates better decision making by overcoming 'category myopia'. Monitoring the broader FMCG environment will enable bigger picture learning that can be applied more specifically

A Datamonitor consumer survey in April/May 2009 established that less than half of consumers in Asia Pacific are satisfied with their work-life balance. This reflects a lifestyle imbalance that characterizes many contemporary lifestyles, especially as many of the region's market economies continue to grow beyond the global average

Various commitments and demands from work and personal/family life have contributed to the feeling of time-deprivation. People are looking for speed and convenience and anything that allows them to feel more in control of time

Reasons to Purchase

*Understand the significance of the different Convenience-aligned trends across FMCG sectors to help support market diversification

*Gain region specific consumer insight, including a clear and up-to-date framework for understanding Asia Pacific consumers

*Access data from two waves of primary research to increase the likelihood of being 'on-trend' with NPD and marketing in the Asia Pacific region
