The airline industry is coming out of the pandemic completely transformed, with fewer operators in the market, as they seek operational efficiencies, fight shrinking cash flows and declining business travel, whilst driving a wide range of cost cutting measures and substantial restructuring programmes. Sustainable transportation is set to become the real game-changer in the post-pandemic business environment for airline operators, as consumers increasingly embrace more responsible tourism.

The opening ceremony of the Olympics Games Tokyo 2020 finally took place on July 23rd 2021. Although diversity is one of the core values of the Olympics, Japan has lagged far behind other countries in terms of diversity including gender equality. According to Euromonitor International’s Economies and Consumers data, the income gap between male and female consumers in Japan was 33% in 2020. However, after the sexist comment made by the former Olympics committee chief executive was rebuked by global society, consumers in Japan became increasingly aware of the issue, and companies have started to react quickly to those consumers voices. This podcast will discuss the diversification trend that is finally starting to emerge in Japan.

The impact of COVID-19 raised awareness about the environmental consequences that consumption habits have on the planet. Companies that demonstrate purpose-driven solutions and sustainable commitments as part of the core business are increasing to remain relevant. As a result, three trends are currently standing out in Latin America namely, casualisation, sustainability and digitalisation. Due to the effects of the pandemic, consumers are increasing their interest in brands that offer a combination of technical, stretch and street attributes for a more relaxed look. Prolonged confinements diminished social occasions and the accelerated adoption of work from home is promoting the transition towards a more 'carefree' appearance of daily life.

This episode is the first of our new podcast series on “Restarting Europe” where Food and Nutrition Analyst Margaux Laine and Consultant Maria Bogdanova look at the opportunities the opening of economies brings for retail. The rates of vaccination are picking up in Europe and governments in the United Kingdom and Denmark are going as far as announcing they prepare to lift all restrictions by July and October this year. Now many of us have been homebound for an extensive period, going into our second year. But what if the role of the retail store was already called into question pre-pandemic, how has this pandemic pushed this forward?

The alcoholic drinks industry has faced massive shifts in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, however the non alcoholic spirits segment achieved about a 7 to 8 percent total volume growth on a global level; the exact opposite of the spirits category overall. Spiros Malandrakis, Head of Alcoholic Drinks research says in the next 3 to 5 years that he expects a level of indulgence not seen since the so-called "roaring 20s". What does this mean for the future of the low and no alcoholic drinks? The category must expand in new directions and differentiate, but also new products must keep consumers coming back for more.

The aftermath of COVID-19 has been characterised by stark tensions and contradictions. These range from social empathy and a sense of community to a “me first” attitude of self-interest; from risk aversion to compulsive behaviour; from cautious spending and “less stuff” to indulgence spending and comfort clutter. These choices and behaviours vary from individual to individual, but we are seeing consumers engaging with both sides of the trend. They are risk averse in some aspects of their lives whilst throwing caution to the wind in others. This is particularly true of digital fatigue in an age of enforced digital reliance.

After a slump in the first quarter of 2020 due to lockdown measures, the luxury market in China rebounded much faster than expected. This was mainly due to pent-up demand for shopping, but also due to an increase in local consumption. Although China will continue to be impacted by uncertainty surrounding travel flows, Euromonitor International's latest travel data suggests that tourist spending will increase by around 80 percent in 2021, having dropped by 57 percent in 2020.

After a tough year for apparel in North America in 2020, forecasts are optimistic for 2021, especially in the categories of athleisure and sportswear. Increased time at home amid lockdowns has led consumers to dress completely differently, choosing casual and comfortable clothing over more formal or trend driven products. In fact, sportswear sales growth will outpace non-sportswear sales over the coming years due to several reasons. First, workplaces will adopt more casual dress codes amid hybrid environments as a way to attract more remote workers back into the office. Secondly, even as consumers venture out into social gatherings, these gatherings will remain smaller and casual. Third, many consumers have been leading more active lifestyles since the pandemic, with home gyms and physical outdoor activities gaining popularity. All these reasons mean that consumers will demand apparel that is versatile, comfortable and fashionable - and brands will have to tailor their product offerings to these evolving preferences.
