Ford in December released its annual Trends Report, which, hey, real surprise here, focused on issues relative to the pandemic. The 2021 Ford Trends Report surveyed 13,005 people across 14 countries, finding among other things that 69 percent of adults feel overwhelmed by the state of the world. That’s not too nice.
“As we barrel into 2021 and look forward to a post-pandemic world, it’s clear that the changes brought about by COVID-19 have changed us but to what degree?” said Sheryl Connelly, global consumer trends and futuring manager for Ford. “Ford and other companies are keenly interested to know what changes will stick long after COVID is in our rearview mirror. And while no one can predict the future, that doesn’t mean we can’t prepare for it.”
