Summary
There is a feeling of time-scarcity among consumers who simply feel there isn't enough time in the day to do what they want. Busier and more active lifestyles, and longer working hours are leading to greater pressure on consumers, which in turn is leading to increasing level of stress. Many consumers are quickly realizing that they need to re-prioritize what is important to them, and take time out to relax and unwind at the end of the day.
Key Findings
- Across developed and developing economies, levels of stress are rising. In developing economies, this is being brought about by the high levels of pressure being placed on people to succeed both personally and professionally - particularly younger adults
- Consumers are becoming more aware of a range of health issues; and those related to a lack of sleep have been no exception
- Consumers are increasingly seeking out food, beverages, and personal care products that contain ingredients with energy boosting properties to help get them through the day
