New research from Roy Morgan shows that over 15 million Australian grocery buyers aged +14 now buy some type of cheese. Block Cheese is bought by 13.5 million Australians (85.1%), easily making it the most popular type of cheese. However, the strongest growth over the last three years has come from a significant increase in Australians buying Grated/Shredded Cheese (up 2.6ppts to 68.3%), Sliced Cheese (up 2.4ppts to 67.7%) and Cheese Snacks or Portions (up 3ppts to 43.6%). Meanwhile, Jarlsberg cheese is one of the more premium products in the cheese market and there are significant differences between the average buyer of Jarlsberg and a regular buyer of cheese. ‘Jarlsberg man’ is a big spender in the top socio-economic AB quintile, most likely with no children in his Mid-Life Household and almost twice as likely to drink wine with his meals as the average Australian. ‘Jarlsberg man’ is skewed heavily towards older Australians aged 35+ and is far more likely to have a diploma or degree than the average cheese buyer and be working full-time as a professional or manager with a household income of well over $120,000 per annum.

A Roy Morgan Single Source survey shows that 89.9% of Australians aged 14+ (18.6 million people) now own a mobile phone. This is up 0.7% points on a year ago and up 2.1% points from two years ago. Now 26.8% of Australians are on a post-paid mobile phone plan after providing their own mobile phone for the plan, up 5.8% points from two years ago. In addition, 32.9% of Australians have a pre-paid mobile phone, up 2.5% points from two years ago. In contrast, there has been a decline in the market for traditional mobile phone plans that include a handset, with 29.7% of Australians now having a post-paid mobile phone plan that includes a new phone, down 6.8% points in two years. There has also been a shift in the way pre-paid/’bring your own phone’ consumers purchase their mobile phone plans; from a shop is still the preferred way for over half (51.5%) of these consumers, but the numbers of customers purchasing a plan online has increased by 7.9% points to 23.7% over the last two years.

The second edition of the Roy Morgan Wealth Report shows that the value of assets held by Australians has almost doubled from 2007 to 2019 (up 96.0%). This is faster than the increase in debt of 78.6% over the same period. As a result, net wealth is now 98.7% higher in 2019 than it was in 2007. Even after allowing for population growth and inflation, the average Australian is better off. The second edition of the Wealth Report focuses particularly on how net wealth has changed since just before the onset of the global financial crisis. Australia performed very strongly over the past 12 years compared with other OECD nations – particularly in Europe, where many nations went backwards over the same period. The report is drawn from over half a million in-depth face-to-face interviews conducted in Australians’ homes over the period from 2007 to 2019.

Roy Morgan’s State of the Nation – Tourism presentation shows that 25.2% of Australia’s 10.9 million paid workers have four or more weeks’ worth of annual leave accrued, with 13.2% having more than five weeks. In total, Australian workers have accrued 140 million days’ worth of annual leave. This data is based on in-depth interviews conducted face-to-face with over 50,000 consumers per annum in their homes. Roy Morgan CEO Michele Levine says that with the Australian economy showing signs of slowing, the potential boost that would come from people taking their accrued leave would be considerable. This would particularly be the case if Australians were encouraged to holiday in Australia.

Market Research Update – Page: Online : 18-Jun-19

New research from Roy Morgan shows that 1.8 million Australians aged 18+ place bets in an average three months, including 1.5 million who bet on racing events (7.9%) and over 620,000 (3.2%) who place Sports bets. The Roy Morgan Gambling Currency Report also shows that 12.3% of men now have a bet in an average three months, compared to only 6% of women. Analysis shows that betting on Racing is most appealing for 50-79 year olds; over 10% of Australians aged 50-64 years old and 9.3% of 65-79 year olds bet on Racing, compared to only 3.1% of 18-24 year olds. In fact 18-24 year olds are more likely to bet on Sports (3.6%) than Racing – the only age group for which Sports betting is more popular. The likelihood of betting on Sport increases to 3.8% of 25-34 year olds and 4.9% of 35-49 year olds, before dropping off substantially for Australians aged 50+. The differential is most stark for Australians aged 80+, with 8.2% betting on Racing compared to less than 1% that bet on Sports.
