Build Resonance With the South African Youth Market

The GenNext report for Young Professionals, aged 25-30, conducts a comprehensive analysis of the driving factors behind the behavior of 1,023 young individuals and offers insights into how brands can enhance their connection and understanding of this particular youth demographic.

Employing a two-survey and three-phased research approach, their study actively engaged over 15,000 young South Africans residing in 8 out of the 9 provinces.

Young Professionals are invited to complete an online Brand Preference survey and Youth Behavior survey through online platforms. In 2023, the Sunday Times GenNext movement marks its 19th year of delivering insights into youth brand preferences and behaviors. Given the significant interest from various organizations seeking to engage with young South Africans, the report broadens its scope to encompass potential implications for private, public, and non-profit entities, offering a comprehensive view on both national and provincial levels.

Additionally, the report incorporates a trend analysis that tracks the evolution of youth behavior over the past three years, spanning from 2021 to 2023.
