Recommendation

Nielsen, a global information and measurement firm, conducts a quarterly online survey of consumers worldwide to assess their optimism, perceptions of job prospects, personal finances and spending plans. This latest edition shows global consumer confidence is back at prerecession levels. Readers should note, however, that in a web-based poll, results may represent the sentiments of a younger, wealthier cohort than those of a general population; in addition, participants report only “claimed behavior.” Nonetheless, getAbstract feels this succinct text and its useful graphics are valuable for businesses, marketers and retailers looking to keep their fingers on the pulse of the customer.

Take-Aways

  • A worldwide survey of 30,000 individuals across 60 countries reveals that global consumer confidence has recovered to a point last seen in early 2007.
  • The Asia-Pacific region registers as the most positive consumer area, while Latin Americans are less assured consumers.
  • North American sentiment rose the most since 2013, to its highest level since before the recession. Europeans are somewhat more hopeful in 2014 than they were in 2013.
