Sixty-four per cent of all&#13;<br \/>\nconsumers and 73 per cent of affluent consumers (those with household income of&#13;<br \/>\nmore than US$150K per year) said they were willing to pay more for a product if&#13;<br \/>\nits place of origin mattered to them. However, only seven per cent of consumers&#13;<br \/>\nsaid they believed it was &#8216;very easy&#8217; to discover where their products&#13;<br \/>\noriginated from, while another 29 per cent said it was only &#8216;somewhat easy&#8217;.&#13;<br \/>\nMore than half of consumers surveyed said it was &#8216;somewhat or very difficult to&#13;<br \/>\nunderstand the story behind the items they buy&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>The study also found that while essential health and safety items&#13;<br \/>\nsuch as food, cars and skincare ranked most highly as categories for which consumers&#13;<br \/>\nwere concerned about provenance, 34 per cent said they &#8216;care a lot&#8217; about&#13;<br \/>\nluxury goods and 35 per cent said the same about diamonds, highlighting that consumers&#13;<br \/>\nare increasingly concerned about where and how their discretionary items are&#13;<br \/>\nmade.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Bruce Cleaver, CEO, De Beers Group, said: &#8220;It&#8217;s clear from this&#13;<br \/>\nresearch that while provenance remains of high importance to luxury consumers, the&#13;<br \/>\nmeaning associated with provenance is shifting. Younger generations want&#13;<br \/>\nassurance of the positive impact a product has created beyond simply knowing&#13;<br \/>\nwhere it originated. This is creating a new status in luxury, where consumers&#13;<br \/>\nwant to show the world they care through their luxury purchases and are&#13;<br \/>\nincreasingly prepared to pay a premium to do so.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The full <i>Diamond Insight &#8216;Flash&#8217; Report<\/i> is available to&#13;<br \/>\ndownload <a href=\"https:\/\/www.debeersgroup.com\/media\/company-news\/2021\/new-research-highlights-generational-shift-in-attitudes-towards-provenance-of-luxury-goods\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.media-outreach.com\/news\/2021-11-23\/105694\/de-beers-new-research-highlights-generational-shift-in-attitudes-towards-provenance-of-luxury-goods\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LONDON, UK &#8211;\u00a0Media&#13; OutReach\u00a0&#8211; 23 November 2021 &#8211;\u00a0New research published&#13; today in De Beers Group&#8217;s latest Diamond Insight &#8216;Flash&#8217; Report&#13; highlights that consumer attitudes towards provenance are changing as younger generations&#13; value ethics and sustainability assurances beyond simply knowing where a&#13; product originated.
