Global trends amongst Belgian consumers in the uneasy decade of the 2020s

To address the needs of our members, UBA is organizing five sessions on important trends in 2026. This is the fourth session out of five.

English 60 minutes

Introduction

The 2020s are becoming defined by persistent tensions, reshaping society, technology and the global economy. Businesses are challenged to see the difference between fleeting fads and robust strategic opportunities.

Since its launch in 2014, Ipsos Global Trends has evolved from a mere snapshot to a continuous exploration of consumer attitudes and values. Learn how consumers are turning inward, why traditional systems are losing credibility and what organisations must do to stay relevant in a world defined by uncertainty and individualism.

This session specifically aims to deliver a unique Belgian outlook on these trends. By incorporating real market examples, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of critical dynamics in the consumer landscape and discover relevant marketing and business opportunities.

Language

The session is conducted in English and the slides of the presentation are in English as well.
