Results from the global ACNielsen on-line survey about consumer's attitudes
towards shopping have confirmed that the world's biggest shopaholics are to be
found in Asia and more closely, in Hong Kong.
A recent ACNielsen global
on-line survey conducted among 22, 000 internet users in 42 markets has revealed
that 74 percent of world's consumers admit to shopping as a form of
entertainment while 93 percent of Hong Kong consumers see the same.
According to the survey, seven of the top 10 markets with most people
claim to shop once a week simply to amuse themselves all hail from Asia. People
in Hong Kong (34 percent), United Arab Emirates (30 percent) and Thailand (27
percent) top the world for shopping once a week for
entertainment.
