The 24-hour digital day: iConsumer 2010
June 2011
With the rise of digital and the rapid changes that it brings to the economy, McKinsey decided to invest in a uniquely deep and comprehensive survey. The research seeks to understand changing consumer behavior across digital experiences, spanning a dozen countries. The first edition of McKinsey’s iConsumer survey was conducted in the US in 2008. The research has meanwhile evolved and now includes France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Spain, and the UK, along with China and India.
Evident in the 2010 edition is the overarching theme of adoption speed and the pervasiveness of digital content and services across all consumer segments. These behavioral shifts will soon drive value shifts.
