EIU: Introducing the Asian millennial
|
| According to the Economist Intelligence Unit, Asian millennials are in a league of their own. |
|
| This report – the first of two parts – explores why Asia’s digital millennials are “mobile, social and borderless”. |
|
| After surveying 826 millennials across 12 countries in Asia and the West, the EIU found that Asian millennials are much more likely than their Western counterparts to: |
|
| | • | Be heavier users of chat/messenger services and use those and other social networks to influence their purchasing decisions and those of others. | | | • | Have adopted mobile e-payments faster, selecting it as their favoured means of payment (over debit cards, still the most popular method in the West). | | | • | Have deeper and broader tastes, stretching from local and global, making their preferences both complex and unpredictable. |
|
|
| Understand ways in which the consumer behaviour and digital habits of millennials in Asia converge or diverge from those in other parts of the world. |
