Manufacturers and sellers of sustainable goods have a growing pool of potential customers, according to new research. A study by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), commissioned by WWF, indicates a 71% rise in the popularity of searches for sustainable goods over the past five years, with continuing growth during the pandemic. The trend is creating new market opportunities for companies, particularly in the cosmetics, pharmaceutical, fashion and food sectors.
The report, which analyzes data from 2016 through 2020 and covers 80% of the world’s population, shows a surge in consumer clicks on sustainable and planet-friendly products in high-income countries as well as in developing and emerging economies. This trend shows that people all over the world are increasingly aware of the environmental crisis facing the planet and that it is affecting their shopping behavior in what WWF is calling an “eco-wakening.”
