There’s a lot of talk about “going green” but what’s really happening out there?

Research tells us that household shoppers and businesses alike want to be more sustainable, but is that materialising at the cash register? Yes. The market for sustainable goods and services is growing, the LOHAS (Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability) segment was worth around $19 Billion in Australia during 2009 and is on the march upward (Source www.lohas.com.au Living LOHAS© report - Mobium Group).

What we also know

Is that in many cases the purchaser of sustainable goods and services are educated mothers with young children. This consumer segment is focused on health, safety and the future, and is possibility responsible for the predicted growth in organic farming (+15.1%) forecast for 2011 (Australia IBISWorld), making it the fastest growing industry by nearly double. It is also this segment that is the core target demographic for consumer goods and services in the green space.

Australian research

Findings from Australian research group Nielsen found the following:
  • 68 per cent of consumers are willing to pay more for products from companies who support worthy causes concerned with the environment
  • Almost two-thirds saying they purposefully avoid specific companies because of concerns about their impact on people or society
  • Most important though are the 63 per cent who would like companies to explain more about the difference they are making in order to support them
This last bit of research “explain more” is the most important. It tells us that in order to earn the trust and support of either the B2C or B2B market segments, brands need to do a better job of communication. Learn more about our solutions >>>
