TrendSights Analysis: Single Lifestyles – Exploring the attitudes, values, and product needs of a growing element of society

Summary

With people getting married later, divorcing faster, and living longer, consumers are more likely to explore life as a singleton. Spending on indulgences during the prolonged single years has simply become a way of life. For many, being a singleton is not an inadvertent outcome of situational circumstances; living alone is often considered to be more desirable than living with strangers, especially among those aged over 30.

Single Lifestyles is one of the 63 sub-trends that GlobalData covers as part of our TrendSights series of Consumer Insight studies.
