METAVERSE MOVEMENT
The digital world is evolving beyond virtual hangouts to immersive 3D realities. Consumers are embracing these digital spaces to socialise with communities.
inovative companies have already employed AR / VR applications in their business processes. Consumers using online games and video-first social media
for streaming and socialising are establishing the groundwork for The Metaverse Movement.
GREAT LIFE REFRESH
The pandemic triggered consumers to make The Great Life Refresh, resulting in drastic personal changes and a collective reboot of values, lifestyles and goals.
Consumers will continue to navigate the turbulence of the pandemic. Companies catering to The Great Life Refresh stand to be seen as partners, helping consumers adapt to a new way of life. Businesses should tailor marketing to acknowledge and support consumers’ decisions to take action.
FINANCIAL AFICIONADOS
Consumers are gaining confidence in investing and becoming savvy savers to strengthen financial security. Financial Aficionados take control of their money and use services to track their transactions.
Money management apps that are consumer-centric, digestible, educational and simple stand to benefit in this era of financial democratisation. These businesses will build customer loyalty at a time when trust in financial institutions is waning.
DIGITAL SENIORS
Older consumers were forced online as the world shut down. Now, familiar and comfortable with technology, Digital Seniors are empowered to make purchases and use services through this channel.
The pandemic broadened older consumers’ minds to the benefits of the digital world. As older consumers embrace technology, human interactions will remain a prevalent component of how they engage with brands.
CLIMATE CHANGERS
Green activism and low-carbon lifestyles are here to stay. Consumers expect brands to step up and are taking action through the products they purchase as concerns over the climate emergency escalate.
Digital innovation is reshaping how retailers, manufacturers and consumers transition to a new era of environmental transparency. Tech tools, such as digital product labelling and mobile tracking apps, help consumers trace ethical claims, their carbon footprint and recycling habits on their phones.
BACKUP PLANNERs

for ways to purchase similar items or finding creative solutions to obtain alternatives
By late 2022, supply chains should start to
stabilise and access to products should revert to pre-COVID-19 levels. Yet, new shopping habits will dictate how Backup Planners discover and select products, from locally sourced to direct-to-consumer brands to subscription services.
