Black Consumers' Lifestyles and Entertainment - US - December 2019
Overview
 
What you need to know
Black consumers spend more time, on average, each day engaged in leisure activities in comparison to all consumers but still experience challenges in maximizing their downtime due to money as well as work, personal and familial responsibilities. Time with family and friends is important, but their preference for spending their free time alone to either recharge or decompress leads to participation in familiar solo activities that always deliver on expectations. However, this consumer is interested and willing to try something new if they find an activity more valuable than what they’re accustomed to, which suggests that they recognize the importance of relaxing and having fun.
