A brisk and simply-written quarterly that fills you in on the results of our latest market research on the behavior of SA consumers -- their confidence, their spending patterns, their attitudes and expectations -- and the main forces that are currently impacting on them. The report furthermore contains the results of a quarterly survey amongst retailers, wholesalers and motor dealers. These are interpreted and presented in graphs and tables. Regarding retail, a distinction is drawn between the durable, semi-durable and non-durable goods sectors; in wholesale we distinguish between the consumer and non-consumer goods sectors; and in motor trade between the new vehicle market, the used vehicle market and spares.
