The average consumer no longer exists. Markets are fragmenting into increasingly diverse segments, with polarisation emerging as one of the clearest and most measurable patterns. This report explores how polarisation can serve as a lens to understand where value expectations are shifting most sharply, and how businesses can turn these divisions into targeted growth opportunities.

Strategy Briefings offer unique insight into emerging trends world-wide. Aimed squarely at strategists and planners, they draw on the publisher's vast information resources to give top line insight across markets and within consumer segments. Written by some of our most experienced analysts, they are designed as provocations for senior management to use in their own forum, allowing them to stand back and reflect on the behaviour and motivation driving global markets today and tomorrow

Data coverage: market sizes (historic and forecasts), company shares, brand shares and distribution data.
