KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 7 — More than one-third of global consumers believe there will be more political unrest in their countries, and 29 per cent were actively involved in social and political issues last year, according to global market research company, Euromonitor International.
Consumers are fed up and acting out, supporting the Restless and Rebellious trend Euromonitor identified in the ‘Top 10 Global Consumer Trends 2021’ report, launching Jan 19.
The report will be available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin and Japanese.
“Misinformation and injustices are causing a crisis of confidence,” says Euromonitor International research manager, David Mackinson in a statement.
“Consumers want the facts and expect brands to act.”
Companies and social media networks must work together to ensure accurate and relevant information is shared or run the risk of losing credibility.
