Over a third of Irish people plan to shop in the Black Friday sales, but trust in discounts remains low. A recent survey carried out by Ipsos B&A on behalf of the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission indicates a decline in the anticipated number of individuals planning to make purchases during the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales period.

IPSOS B&A CONSUMER CONFIDENCE Against a plethora of good economic tailwinds, we are becoming more upbeat This wave of the Ipsos B&A Consumer Confidence Barometer was conducted from the 9th-15th October 2024. 📈 Consumer confidence has improved by five points in October 2024. It now stands at a net rating of -16 (those feeling downbeat versus those feeling more upbeat), compared to -21 in September. 💶 Given the backdrop of positive economic indicators (falling inflation and interest rates, near-full employment, along with the Apple Windfall and an expansionary budget), it is unsurprising that more people are believing the country will be better off over the next year. Sentiment is at a level not seen since before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and is driven by Dubliners. 🙍♀️ Females, middle-aged cohorts or those from lower social classes, along with residents from outside the capital are the most pessimistic in their outlook, albeit they all register improvements. Dubliners are Net neutral for the first time in recent years. 📖 READ AND DOWNLOAD the full Ipsos B&A Consumer Confidence report: https://lnkd.in/e2tHhcyH The Consumer Confidence report is conducted via the Ipsos B&A Acumen Online Barometer.
