Men and Women's Buying Habits Market Assessment 2008

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/f5b1ef/men_and_womens_bu)
has announced the addition of the "Men and Women's Buying Habits
Market Assessment 2008" report to their offering.

This Market Assessment report is the fifth edition examining the
main differences between men and women's buying habits. The report
continues to reveal shifts in typical buying behaviour and activity by
both sexes, as the balance of economic power between them converges.
The report examines the buying behaviour of both men and women across
six separate and disparate market segments: food and drink;
toiletries, cosmetics and fragrances; clothing and footwear;
magazines; the brown goods market; and cars.

Currently, the UK economy is experiencing a rather uncertain
period, with many experts predicting an economic slowdown or, at
worst, a possible recession. Global economic factors, such as the
`credit crunch' in the US and rising oil and energy prices, are all
having their impact on trading conditions in the UK. As a consequence,
consumer confidence remains in the balance, with many analysts
predicting declining levels of consumer expenditure and a tough year
ahead on the high street. Reports in the media abound as to falls in
the UK housing market and increases in the costs of borrowing, all of
which are factors that will further stretch the UK consumer's spending
power.
