Audiovisual, meaning not only TV, and digital media dominate the
TOP 5 (main) activities of young adults and Gen X’ers during the
lockdown. Age groups with a higher density of kids between 6 and
15 y.o. tend to watch TV with family members more than younger
age groups without or with younger kids

gardening, doing odd jobs have been part of their new everyday
life. Only 21% of 50+ mentioned working as main activity (vs 33%

SOME FIRST CONCLUSIONS (and more to come)
Spring cleaning, cooking, watching TV together with other household
members, preparing the garden for a new season… There is something
reassuring about cultivating habits. Especially when times are uncertain
1
CREATURES OF HABITS
Some favor physical shops, missing the human contact with local merchants (42%), other chose for
online food retail services… The fact is: more Belgians than ever have find their way to e-food retailer.
Other sectors, not as usual like gardening, also benefits from the lockdown online

CREATURES OF HABITS… BUT OPEN FOR NEW ADVENTURES

are a basic necessity fulfilling the need for information, reassurance, social
exchange and entertainment

STRONG REGIONAL DIFFERENCES REGARDING PURE PLAYERSWhich non-food retailer from the list did you find the most useful during the crisis?
RETAILERS WILL FACE TOUGH TIMES BUT HAVE TO BE PREPARED
BASIC NEEDS DURING CONFINEMENT?
Besides food & essential products, think media, cultural
products & services in a “home sweet home”
configuration
WELL-EQUIPPED
Most Belgians are well-equipped regarding tech
products. Intentionalists postponed their purchases
massively but few are really missing new tech products
NEARLY 6 OUT OF 10 WANTED TO REVAMP THEIR DECO
And again, spendings in decoration will have to wait till
after the lockdown and the evolution of the financial
solution for 1 out of 2 intentionalists
1 OUT 2 WANTED TO BUY HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES
But 1 out of 2 intentionalists have seen this resolution
melting during the lockdown
MOST USEFUL NON-FOOD RETAILERS:
1
2
3
POST-LOCKDOWN ASPIRATIONS: NORMALITY, FRAMILY AND A GOOD MEAL
What will you do once the lockdown is over?
meet my relatives
63%
return to a normal life
67% go to the restaurant
44%
LAST TIP FOR TRAVEL SECTOR: MONITOR ONLINE INTENTION & HUNGER FOR ESCAPE
After a few days of lockdown, do you miss the following products or services? On a scale from 1 to 10, what purchases have you postponed pending the end of lockdown? (1-postponed nothing; 10-
postponed every purchase scores 7-10 grouped)
55% POSTPONE TRAVEL PLANS
8 out of 10 travel intentionalists have postponed their plans
to purchase transport & travel accommodations. But nearly
1 out of 10 (9%) has discovered a new travel site during the
lockdown
YOUNG ADULTS ARE READY TO BOOK
75% of 18-34 y.o. had plans buying transport or travel
accommodation before the lockdown. 78% have already
postponed these plans. Nearly 1 out of 5 (18%) has
discovered a new travel site during the lockdown
BOOMERS MORE LIKELY TO POSTPONE TRAVEL PLANS
68% of people aged 65+ had plans to purchase transport/travel
accommodations before the lockdown. 85% postponed their
plans till the situation recovered. Younger Boomers (50-64
y.o.) seem even more worried: 87% postponed
Belgians want their holidays
1 OUT OF 4 BELGIAN IS THINKING OF GOING ON
VACATHION THIS SUMMER
