Spanish consumers are increasingly interested in new products. This follows from the report ‘Innovation in the shopping basket’, carried out by Aecoc Shopperview. 53% of buyers have included a new item in their last shopping basket, which represents a growth of 14 percentage points over the 39% registered in 2016. And what kind of novelties has the consumer included in the basket of the purchase? Well, healthy products, with natural ingredients and ecological options.
The data from the report also reveals that price is the main obstacle when buying novelties for 64% of those surveyed, while 39% say that they do not buy new items because they consider that they do not meet their needs. On the other hand, 21% prefer to fill the shopping basket with products that they already know.
