In 2020 we have changed our habits more than in recent decades. Unexpectedly, we have been obligated
to adapt to a more homely life, where we now practically spend all our time either indoors or in the
countryside or by the sea, seeking a long-awaited connection with nature.

ur habit changes are the collateral effects of the
pandemic from which we are still recovering and
which has left us a dramatic impact on the eco-
Onomy, setting new consumer trends.
First of all, our buying patterns have changed, we go
to the supermarket fewer times but when we go we buy
more. This increase is up to 37%, according to market stu-
dies carried out by the Spanish association of commercial
coding, AECOC and by the agency specialised in market
studies, Kantar.

It is clear that there are sectors such as tourism that have
been greatly affected by this global crisis. Consumption in
travel, culture, leisure and restaurants has been replaced
by spending at home. Now we cook more and we pamper
ourselves with more delicacies in the shopping trolley. We
treat ourselves with nice products either to eat or to use
at home, such as to improve our home sports equipment,
or our teleworking or studying space. In any case, it is not a
crazy consumption but a thoughtful one.
