Introduction
Fear of aging examines how significant life stages affect consumers, covering worries over finances, health, loss of attractiveness, the inability to cope with new challenges and consumer responses to new lifestyle needs. By knowing what events cause consumers to change habits, manufacturers and retailers can target consumers who are developing new and long-lasting purchasing patterns.
Scope
* Key data and detailed analysis of age-driven spending for the U.S. and 7 European markets: France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, U.K.
* Detailed analysis of the life events that affect consumers and their implications for consumer behavior and purchasing habits
* Findings from U.S. & European surveys regarding consumer attitudes to aging
* Actionable recommendations for attracting key consumer groups just as they are looking for new lifestyle solutions
Report Highlights
