With increasing sedentary lifestyles helping to drive rising global obesity rates, a growing number of consumers are becoming increasingly interested in participating in sport as both a way of keeping fit and healthy and a means of self-expression. This shift in behaviour, which spans the generational divide from baby boomer retirees to generation Y and even children, is helping to drive strong demand growth in markets as varied as sports apparel, energy drinks and consumer electronics.
Strategy Briefings offer unique insight into emerging trends worldwide. Aimed squarely at strategists and planners, they draw on The International's vast information resources to give top line insight across markets and within consumer segments. Written by some of our most experienced analysts, they are designed as provocations for senior management to use in their own forum, allowing them to stand back and reflect on the behaviour and motivation driving global markets today and tomorrow.
