Consumer Confidence in India remains flat in quarter 1, 2011 as rising food and fuel prices are likely to affect household expenses
Global online consumer confidence rose two points in the first quarter of this year to an index of 92 driven by record confidence gains in the Middle East/Africa following social and political unrest in the region and strong-performing Asia Pacific economies, according to the latest edition of the Nielsen Global Consumer Confidence Index, which tracks consumer confidence, major concerns and spending intentions among online consumers.

  Challenges Before An Integrated India: Bridging The Urban - Rural Divide
India is a land of opportunity and a lot of it lies in rural India. Besides being a provider of agricultural produce, mining, labour and other resources, it is also a substantial consumer of FMCG, electronics and white goods, automotives, textiles and other products. Yet corporations, domestic and multinationals are restraining themselves from tapping the full potential of this massive market. CHALLENGES BEFORE AN INTEGRATED INDIA: Bridging The Urban – Rural Divide, a FICCI-Nielsen report brings forth industry views on the challenges and methods by which the urban and rural divide existing in the country can be bridged.
 
  Consumer Confidence in Booming Asian Markets Offset Escalating European Concerns in Quarter 2, 2010
Global consumer confidence cautiously edged up one index point to 93 in the second quarter of 2010 as confidence increases in booming Asian markets were offset by European consumers’ growing concerns of an escalating debt crisis, which battered confidence levels in Spain, Italy and France, according to the latest edition of the Nielsen Global Consumer Confidence Index.

  A Global Perspective on Paying for Online Content
Will consumers pay for online news and entertainment they now get for free? Nielsen asked more than 27,000 consumers across 52 countries, and the answer is a definite “maybe.” As expected, the vast majority (85%) prefer that free content remain free. Yet there are opportunities to be found in the details. Indeed, when asked to focus on specific types of content, survey participants are more willing to at least consider paying for particular categories, especially if they have done so before.
