Product Code: STR0413households
Despite ever rising living costs and the inability of many young adults to fly the nest while times are hard, the global trend towards smaller and less conventional household units continued apace over the review period, driven by lower marriage and fertility rates, ageing populations, rapid urbanisation and rising wealth in emerging markets. This new global report analyses household statistics and behaviour, and suggests how these may shape demand and impact marketers in the future.
Strategy Briefings offer unique insight into emerging trends world-wide. Aimed squarely at strategists and planners, they draw on Euromonitor International's vast information resources to give top line insight across markets and within consumer segments. Written by some of our most experienced analysts, they are designed as provocations for senior management to use in their own forum, allowing them to stand back and reflect on the behaviour and motivation driving global markets today and tomorrow.
Data coverage: market sizes (historic and forecasts), company shares, brand shares and distribution data.
