The Roy Morgan Digital Payment Solutions Currency Report shows that 6.5% of Australians aged 14+ now use non-bank contactless/cardless mobile payment system, while 6.4% use bank-owned digital payment solutions. The report also shows that 93.6% of Australians are aware of at least one digital payment solution, and 72.4% have used at least one digital payment solution in the last 12 months. Some 57.3% of Australians are aware of "tap and go" payment systems, 39.6% are aware of bank-owned mobile payment systems, 46.4% are aware of non-bank tap-and-go systems and 35.2% are aware of "buy-now-pay-later" payment systems. However, usage is lagging awareness considerably, with only 11.5% of Australians having used a tap-and-go payment system in the last 12 months, and only 6.7% having used a buy-now-pay-later digital solution over the same period. The report is based on more than 50,000 face-to-face consumer interviews during the year to June 2018.

Celebrating the 15th year of the annual poll, Research Australia and Roy Morgan have hosted an official launch in The Cellar of Tonic House, Roy Morgan’s unique office function room. Roy Morgan CEO Michele Levine enlightened attendees on trust and distrust in the healthcare space, and how a much more discerning public, along with the advent of technology are pushing back against what they perceive as unfair practice.

The Brisbane Broncos have again topped Roy Morgan’s annual National Rugby League supporter ladder with 1.09 million supporters (up 6.5 per cent on a year ago). It is followed by Melbourne Storm, which increased its support by 26.7 per cent to 1.05 million supporters. Seven NRL clubs increased their support in the year to June 2018, including the four most recent NRL Premiers. Roy Morgan is able to analyse the demographic makeup and intentions of NRL supporters across a vast array of important indicators, including the likelihood supporters of different clubs have of wanting to buy a new car in the next four years. A significant 19.9% of supporters of the Canberra Raiders plan on buying a new vehicle in the next four years, clearly higher than for supporters of the other 15 NRL clubs and well above the Australian figure of 11.9%. However, supporters of several other clubs have significantly higher intentions of buying cars in the next four years than the average Australian. These include the Parramatta Eels (17.2%), Melbourne Storm and Sydney Roosters (both 16.9%) and New Zealand Warriors (16.1%).

Research from Roy Morgan shows that almost 11.9 million Australians watch the Nine Network across broadcast and Catch Up platforms in an average week, while nearly 12.5 million watch the Seven Network and almost 11.3 million watch the ABC. Nine Entertainment’s merger with Fairfax Media will bring together two of Australia’s leading media companies, as well as their 50:50 joint venture subscription video-on-demand service Stan (which is watched by over 2 million Australians in an average four weeks). The merger will boost the combined viewership of Nine Entertainment platforms to over 12.2 million, within reach of the Seven Network. Roy Morgan CEO Michele Levine says that although some have expressed concerns about the potential lessening of competition the merger may bring, the proliferation of competing Pay TV and SVOD services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube Premium, Fetch and others, suggests that competition in the viewing space is intensifying rather than reducing.

ALDI, Bunnings, Qantas and ABC the Most Trusted Brands in Australia

The latest Roy Morgan Net Trust Score Survey, which was conducted in July 2018, shows that ALDI is Australia’s most trusted brand for the second survey in a row. The grocery retailer is followed by Bunnings, Qantas and the ABC as Australia’s top brands with positive net trust scores. Qantas has improved one place since the previous survey in April, and the ABC has jumped three places from seventh. Bendigo Bank is the only bank brand to defy the fallout from the Financial Services Royal Commission. It has, despite the Royal Commission and the high levels of distrust in the banking sector, remained in the top 10 brands with a positive Net Trust Score across the five surveys since October 2017. Although the big-four banks remain in the top 10 most distrusted list, partly due to revelations of wrongdoing in the Royal Commission, AMP has moved from nowhere in the benchmark survey to feature prominently in the two most recent surveys of Australian brands with a negative NTS. Roy Morgan CEO Michele Levine notes that Facebook’s distrust score has catapulted it into the #1 ranking on the Roy Morgan top 10 most distrusted media brands, and into the top 10 most distrusted brands in Australia.

Addressable TV advertising technology already reaches over 9 million Australians

Market Research Update – Page: Online : 28-Aug-18

New research from Roy Morgan shows that over nine million Australians are already using the devices and services that addressable TV advertising technology requires, like smart TVs and streaming devices. However, broadcasters are only just starting to mature their own technologies and data stacks to be able to leverage connected devices such as smart TVs, streaming and set-top boxes to deliver personalised advertising. The services Australians already watch and that have the potential to deliver addressable TV today include Foxtel, Foxtel Now, Foxtel on Demand, Fetch, Google Play, 9Now, SBS on Demand, TENplay and 7Plus. Additional services that have the potential to deliver addressable TV but due to business decisions do not currently carry advertising and are watched by over 14.5 million Australians include Netflix, Stan, ABC iView, Quickflix, Ozflix, Bigpond movies, Dendy Direct, iTunes, Sports streaming, YouTube Premium and Amazon Prime Video. Roy Morgan CEO Michele Levine says the increasingly fast rate at which Australians adopt a multitude of new technologies does give great hope to traditional broadcasters developing addressable TV as a viable competitor to newer digital-centred services. Australians have shown an increasing willingness to try out new technologies and all the evidence from the marketplace shows that if done correctly addressable TV can be a formidable step forward for traditional broadcasters.
