Consumer Lifestyles in Canada

For several reasons, Canadian consumers dodged the recent economic bullet that brought down many of their neighbours to the south. Canada’s tighter banking and credit regulations ensured that the country’s housing market did not collapse and that banks did not go bankrupt. Now, consumer confidence is rebounding along with expenditure levels and the only clouds on the economic horizon are the alarming levels of household debt that some say may threaten growth over the forecast period.

Euromonitor's Consumer Lifestyles in Canada report analyses factors influencing national consumer expenditure. Consumer lifestyles reports include coverage of: population, urban development, home ownership, household profiles, labour, income, consumer and family expenditure, health, education, eating habits, drinking habits, shopping habits, personal grooming, clothing, leisure habits, savings and investments, media, communication, transport and travel and tourism. Use this report to understand the factors influencing a nation's lifestyle choices.
