The Mzansi Consumer Barometer from Kantar reveals a nation united in its concerns yet optimistic about the future. As we navigate through challenges like loadshedding, unemployment, and the rising cost of living, it's the resilience and hope of South Africans that shines through.

By embracing discounts, loyalty programmes, and multi-functional products, households are not only managing their budgets but also redefining value. The move towards more affordable brands reflects a strategy to choose loved brands while also exploring 'good enough' alternatives. This trend is a call to action for brand marketers to diversify their offerings and understand the evolving needs of their consumers. It's a narrative of resilience, innovation, and the unwavering spirit of South Africans to thrive amidst economic challenges.

China growth at…5.2% in 2024. These numbers are ‘controlled’, and as such are likely to overestimate the ongoing growth of the Chinese economy. We do know that the property market is in a perilous state and that they are suffering from low inflation. Their policy responses may be struggling to deal with their turning demographics as the ageing population overwhelms the rest of the economy. https://lnkd.in/d_rUdBAf
