Consumer Lifestyles in Costa Rica
The economic downturn in 2008 and 2009 had a negative impact on the consumption patterns of Costa Rican consumers. Many cutbacks were made on various categories including food and drinks, leisure and recreation, and clothing and footwear. Costa Ricans focused on the essentials and had to forego luxury and premium products. The country faces various challenges for the future which will impact markets, e.g. low fertility rates, an ageing population, and rising obesity and related health problems.
