New market study, "Consumer Lifestyles in Bahrain", has been published

Nov. 1, 2012 - PRLog -- Bahrain's oil-based economy was not affected as significantly as others by the recent global downturn, and that has been reflected by relatively steady levels of disposable income and consumer expenditure in recent years. However, commercial growth will remain at risk due to the potential of continuing social unrest. Nevertheless, stability will see consumers' attitudes and habits become more 'Western' in coming years with increased spending in a wide range of retail and other sectors.

Euromonitor's Consumer Lifestyles in Bahrain report analyses factors influencing national consumer expenditure. Consumer lifestyles reports include coverage of: population, urban development, home ownership, household profiles, labour, income, consumer and family expenditure, health, education, eating habits, drinking habits, shopping habits, personal grooming, clothing, leisure habits, savings and investments, media, communication, transport and travel and tourism. Use this report to understand the factors influencing a nation's lifestyle choices.
