Chinese Stock Market Is Hot and 88% of Young Chinese Are Investing COLUMBUS, OH, 10 January 2008 -- The economic mood in China among younger Chinese consumers is strong and continues to tower over the mood of Americans the same age, according to BIGresearch's Q4 China Quarterly Survey. The survey was conducted in November and 4,336 young Chinese consumers (18-34 years old) participated. Chinese Consumers (18-34) Compared to Their American Counterparts (18-34): -- 76.2% of Chinese are confident/very confident in chances for a strong Chinese economy in the next six months compared to less than half (42.6%) of Americans. -- Attitudes on savings differ as only 16.7% of Chinese agree or strongly agree they are saving enough to meet future needs... Over a quarter (27.7%) of Americans feel the same. -- Since fewer Chinese own a vehicle they are less impacted by fluctuating gas prices... 45% say they have experienced no major impact on spending compared to only 18.5% of Americans. -- Carrefour tops the list for Grocery Store among Chinese as 23.9% say they shop there most often. -- Both Carrefour and Wal-Mart Chinese consumers cite price as #1 reason for buying their groceries at a particular grocer (64.6% and 62.4%, respectively). Hualian shoppers more likely to head to a grocer because of location (61%). -- 70.9% of Chinese say fashion is less important than value and comfort compared to only 37.3% of Americans. -- Similar to Americans, Chinese consistently use media simultaneously. For example, 73.2% watch TV while online, compared to 76.2% of Americans. -- Word of Mouth becoming greater influence in China as 43.2% of Chinese regularly seek advice before buying (compared to 22.6% of Americans) and 42.8% regularly give advice to others about products and services they have purchased (compared to 44%). -- In the Electronics category, Chinese most influenced by magazines (26.1%)... Americans say Word of Mouth is most influential (52.9%). "The young China market continues to thrive and these consumers are well educated and an upwardly mobile part of that success," said Gary Drenik, President of BIGresearch. "Young Chinese consumers, who are sometimes known as 'Chuppies,' are unique from their American counterparts. It is important for marketers to recognize differences such as the rate of savings investing and media consumption especially when developing their marketing campaigns for the China market."
