Today sees the release of YouGov’s latest whitepaper, a report on early adopters of consumer technology around the world and how best to reach them.
Prolific North has partnered with the research leader to share the report, which is called ‘First in line: Early technology adopters around the globe’ and drills down into the behaviour of adopters of tech in Great Britain, USA, Germany, France, India and Indonesia, as well a taking a wider global look at early adopters based on data from 25 separate markets.
Around the world, the report finds that 17% of consumers can be defined as “early adopters” – a combination of those dedicated followers who are actively looking for new technology to purchase, and the first wave of buyers who are keen to use new tech. On the other hand, 38% are “latecomers” – those who only look for new technology when the tech they currently use becomes obsolete.
