Euromonitor Global Report Analyses Young Men's Attitudes Toward Health and Wellness
Sports nutrition segment soars in both the UK and Brazil, where sales increased by 128% and 131%, respectively, between 2006 and 2011, to reach US$373 million and US$191 million.
(firmenpresse) - LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM -- (Marketwire) -- 08/21/12 -- Euromonitor International announced the publication of its latest strategic global market research report, , examining the attitudes of young men in the 15-29 age brackets toward health and health-related activities. While male consumers are clearly an attractive segment for marketers, health and wellness related products and services are competing with lifestyle pressures including time constraints, an array of unhealthy foods, smoking levels among global youth, and sedentary work cultures. This new global report analyses findings from Euromonitor International's 2011 Annual Study of consumers across eight countries, with special attention to this under 30 segments.
A majority of young men have a positive attitude toward health, placing importance on regular exercise, eating fruit & vegetables, reducing fat, salt and alcohol, drinking plenty of water, keeping stress levels down and not smoking. But the survey analysis also indicates that there is still a gap between how young men perceive health and what they do to achieve their health-related goals.
"The pressures and temptations of modern life contribute greatly to the challenges young men face with making fundamental lifestyle changes. We see it in rising obesity rates and high levels of smoking prevalence. But this also presents opportunities for marketers to educate young male consumers on proper nutrition, weight-loss plans, and available health and wellness products," says Daphne Kasriel, Consumers Editor at Euromonitor International.
"Efforts to further educate young men about healthy eating may also be supported by young men's' love of sports. The rapid expansion of sports nutrition products into mainstream retailing continues to appeal to this demographic and speaks to the larger market for sports-related products and services," adds Kasriel.
The report identifies the following sectors benefitting the most from increased health awareness among young male consumers: better-for-you, naturally healthy & organic foods, mineral waters and functional foods aimed at the young, male segment, as well as sports nutrition, food intolerance products and men's sports apparel.
Key findings from the survey include:
The Annual Study 2011 survey that serves as the basis for this report was conducted on-line in the following eight markets: US, Brazil, the UK, France, Germany, India, China, and Japan. The survey comprises five sections, and other findings are available through Euromonitor's Passport Survey market research database.
