Identifying growth opportunities is more challenging than ever

Achieving and accelerating growth are key business objectives for many companies. However, in the current economic and consumer environment, characterised by high operating costs, rapid changes, disruptions, uncertainty, and constrained consumer budgets, identifying growth opportunities is more challenging than ever.

The future of consumption is shaped by a variety of factors that intersect and interplay

Numerous factors spanning economies, societies, and technologies intersect and interplay with each other to create a dynamic and complex landscape for future consumption. The evolution of household structure, demographic shifts, technology penetration, and value changes are among the most influential drivers that shape tomorrow’s consumption.

Generation X and baby boomers shape future consumption with their substantial purchasing power. Focusing on the generations that shape future consumption today provides an actionable framework for businesses.
