This collection of reports looks at how the COVID-19 pandemic has changed consumer markets. The reports provide in-depth analysis of the Future of Work in Consumer, Automated Home in Consumer, Direct-to-Consumer in Consumer Goods, Conversational Commerce in FMCG and City Growth Engines in Consumer. The reports contain industry analysis, highlighting the impact of COVID-19, key use cases, and the mergers and acquisitions for this theme.

Scope

The future of work is no longer a niche theme for the largest companies. COVID-19 has accelerated its urgency and forced its entry into the public consciousness. COVID-19 has changed attitudes and priorities around work-life balances and short-term trends for reverse urbanization.

The automated home market continues to be an area of high innovation, with manufacturers at low and premium price points seeking to provide new and improved updates for consumers with every iteration of existing automated home products.

The D2C channel is especially well suited for FMCG, because the frequent rebuying of products can be tapped into using subscription models.

A more conversational commerce ecosystem, building on the current technological trajectory, is seen as a major, possibly revolutionary, potential disruptor to eCommerce. From the consumer side, it fits within the context of an FMCG base who continue to expect more from the brands they choose.

City growth engines has been affected due to the rapid adjustments observed during COVID-19. Companies have had to adapt to meet changes in demand and behavior, as well as the adverse impact of external factors like climate change.

Key Highlights

New forms of digitalization will continue to enhance the e-commerce experience. Traditional retail has suffered while online channels have boomed in popularity.

The global automated home market is forecast to see revenue double between 2020-2025.

There are three aspects of the usual shopper journey that needs to be tackled and addressed when adopting a D2C model: how to interact and pull in consumers, how to deliver the product and what the product should be. The model allows for more adaptability and tailoring in each of these segments compared to traditional retail channels.

Thanks to the pandemic, consumers are online more, going out less, and substituting online ordering and interactions for store-based ones. This has turbo-charged the online marketplace and the need for actors at all levels and sectors to deliver effective, easy, and personally relevant services within a few clicks.

The pandemic has changed consumer perceptions and behaviors in urban environments. COVID-19 has accelerated the need to design new urban areas that mitigate against future market disruption. Green infrastructure will become increasingly important, as well as demand for localism.

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
