Exciting Trends: 40% of Consumers Thrilled by New Product Releases

Exciting Trends in New Product Purchases

In April, a season of new beginnings due to job changes and academic transitions is upon us. Recognizing this, CCCMK Holdings conducted a survey to explore consumer attitudes and behaviors towards new product purchases amongst approximately 1,500 V members aged 16 to 69 across the country.

Insights from the New Product Purchase Survey

The survey revealed intriguing data on consumer behavior across various product categories. Here are some key findings:

1. Immediate Purchases for Confectionery Products

When asked about how they respond to new product information, respondents exhibited a high engagement score for noticing new products in retail spaces. While many took notice, only a fraction took the additional step of researching product details before making a purchase. Notably, 28.2% of people indicated they would spontaneously buy confectionery items upon seeing them, highlighting a distinct behavior pattern in comparison to other categories.

On the other hand, health-related foods and cosmetics showed a more cautious purchasing approach, with respondents preferring to investigate product information thoroughly before buying, which was reflected in their lower purchase percentages.

2. Skewed Focus on Quality and Personal Preference in Cosmetics

In terms of new purchases during the past three months, confectionery topped the chart at 43%, followed by beverages and instant foods in the 20% range. When it came to reasons for purchasing new products, personal preferences were paramount across all categories. In particular, over 40% indicated they chose confectionery and dining menu items based on how well they aligned with personal tastes.

For cosmetics, determining if a product was genuinely good was essential for over 30% of respondents. This indicates that many consumers are inclined to delve into product details before purchasing their preferred cosmetics, highlighting an evident contrast with other categories.

3. Excitement for New Products and Reluctance to Queue

Around 38.7% expressed that new products instill excitement, while 34.1% felt compelled to try them upon hearing about them. Despite this enthusiasm, more than half of the respondents conveyed their reluctance to wait in line for popular or limited edition items, indicating a significant resistance to queuing in current retail contexts. This highlights an interesting disconnection between desire and practicality among consumers.

Conclusion

Overall, as April heralds a time for promotions aligned with new lifestyles, businesses involved in marketing have a unique opportunity. By understanding consumer sentiment and behaviors toward new product releases, companies can tailor effective promotional strategies for the season.
