Riedel Marketing Group's 7th annual trend report, Housewares TrendTracker 2008, provides in-depth information about the trends that will be impacting the home goods and housewares industries over the next several years ... including the impact the economic downturn and soaring gas prices are going to have on consumer spending on housewares and home goods products.
Housewares TrendTracker 2008 highlights the three key trends that will be impacting the home goods and housewares industries over the next few years. These trends are:
- The impact the economic downturn, housing crisis, and soaring gas prices are having on consumer spending, meal preparation, home improvement and remodeling, and home buying and selling.
- The environmental practices that are being embraced by the American consumer, the environmentally-friendly products that are being bought, and what the future holds for the environmental movement and "green" products.
- The dramatic shifts in the American consumers' attitudes towards food and the resultant changes to American cooking and eating habits.
In addition, Housewares TrendTracker 2008 takes a look at what is driving the continued growth of one of the hottest housewares product categories - the home organization and home storage category.
