If you know
how shopping behaviors have changed during the pandemic,
you can move with purpose.

Create new opportunities and widen your market share with insights into which habits have become part of shoppers' new routines.

Plot your growth and gain market share based on new shopping patterns 

When the pandemic first hit, it triggered panic and bulk shopping. Keeping some goods in stock was impossible. As time wore on, consumers were forced to rethink old habits and embrace new ones. Now, we are settling into a new phase of the pandemic: we are starting to adapt to the New Normal. Some new shopping habits appear to remain for the long term. Others may be short term trends. Our New Normal report - part of GfK's Shopper Navigator product suite - shows you the changes in behavior and attitudes so that you can adapt to meet new demands. Respond before the competition. Adjust often to find opportunities to grow your business. And remain a leading FMCG brand.

Lead the way in your target markets 

Strategies from last year - or even last month - won't work today. You need to understand how shopping patterns have changed as we approach a New Normal way of life. Consider this: 

  • When and how frequently people shop: To avoid crowds, shoppers try to visit as few stores as possible, and they are shopping at different times to avoid crowds (both up 33% since before the pandemic). Are you adjusting accordingly?
  • Where they shop: As with nearly all categories, online is increasing in popularity. For FMCG, 15% more people are buying online. They are also shopping more frequently and spending more when shopping online. Are you leveraging this channel?
  • What they buy: The shopping basket has changed drastically across the course of the year. Not just the types of items that people buy, but also the brands they buy. Are you catering to their new needs and targeting the right people?
