Report Highlights

In the CPG space there is a growing belief among both producers and consumers that mass market products can not be effective for everyone. As a result, personalization looks set to be an influential trend. Faced with a more pragmatic and value-conscious post-recessionary consumer, brands are under greater pressure to prove their worth.

57% of global consumers attach importance to choosing brands matching their attitudes and outlook on life, reflecting how consumption is used to help construct one's self identity. Expect consumers to place brands under increasing scrutiny about what they stand for and how they match their own personal values.

Many consumers are gravitating towards narrower, highly defined products. However, demand for more personalized solutions is moderated by consumer demand for a simple and straightforward shopping/consumption experience.
