Buying patterns around the world
I ran across an article in the New York Times discussing how consumers around the globe spend their money.
Be sure to check out the interactive graphic that breaks down international spending on the following global business areas:
1. Clothing and Footwear
2. Electronics
3. Alcohol and Tobacco
4. Household Goods
5. Recreation
You can roll over each geographic area to see total spending figures.
If your company provides one of the products mentioned above than this is a must read article to add to your market research.
