Christmas 2024 reflects shifts in Brazilian consumer behavior and priorities. According to new research by Hibou, a company specializing in consumer monitoring and insights, conducted with over 1200 Brazilians, only... 51% respondents plan to buy gifts. This year, an indicator of the economic challenges faced by many families. Simultaneously, the survey revealed that... 14% of Brazilians will spend the date alone.an increase of 3 p.p. This is incomplete. "3 p.p." needs context to be translated. "p.p." likely stands for something like "per person," "per page," or "point percentage," but without knowing the full sentence or document, the best translation can't be provided. Regarding 2023. Despite this, 40% still see Christmas as an opportunity to renew hope for the future..

We are observing a movement combining adaptation and resilience. The increase in the number of people spending Christmas alone and the decreased intention to gift-giving reflect both financial constraints and emotional shifts. Nevertheless, Brazilians maintain the essence of Christmas, as a time of hope and meaning," analyzes Ligia Mello, CSO of Hibou and research coordinator.

Cuts to the present and changes to the lists

Intending to gift a minor, the budget stands out as a decisive factor: Of the 51% who intend to buy gifts, Please provide the full Portuguese text. "28% planejam gastar entre R$250 e R$500" is gibberish and needs the full context to be translated. I need the words surrounding these numbers to understand their meaning. Some 20% units will invest between R$150 and R$250, while others intend to invest between R$500 and R$1000.A small portion of 12% is only intending to spend more than R$1000. 

Even for those giving gifts, the profile of the recipients has changed. Children gained priority, rising by 4 percentage points (54%)while the parents (47%) and spouses (48%) experienced significant drops of 15 percentage points and 7 p.p. This is incomplete. "7 p.p." needs context. It could be shorthand for several things, such as: * **7 percentage points:** A change in a percentage. * **7 points per pound:** A unit of measurement in a technical context. * **7 points per period:** Similar to above, another technical context. * **7 pages per part:** If part of a book or document description. * **7 (some other abbreviation):** Could mean 7 parts per million, etc. Please provide the context. Respectively. The choice reflects a greater focus on the next generation and those closest within the family nucleus.

Among the 31% who will not buy gifts this yearThe main reasons are lack of money (32%), debt (14%), the economy (18%), and not feeling in a festive mood (12%).

Health falls from the top: clothes and perfumes dominate desires

If health was the most desired gift for Brazilians in 2023, in 2024, the desire for tangible items returned with force. Clothing (22%) and perfumes (10%) Top the list of most anticipated gifts, followed by Electronics (11%). Travels are left with 7% of desire.

Health that was a desire for 32% in 2023 fell to 9%, indicating a shift in emotional priorities towards practical and material needs.

Christmas Shopping Ranking

For the 51% For gifts, utility items are gaining significant traction on shopping lists. 64% They will invest in clothing and accessories. 35% in perfumes and cosmetics; 34% in toys 22% shoes and 13% books

Purchases also show consolidated trends. 56% users will opt for online shopping. while acquisitions in shopping malls (49%) fell 9 p.p. (This is incomplete. "9 p.p." needs context to translate accurately. It could be 9 percentage points, 9 points per pound, or something else entirely.) Reinforcing trust in e-commerce and delivery logistics. At the same time, 43% They still prefer street stores.

Loneliness and hope coexist.

The growth in the number of people who will spend Christmas alone, which has reached 14%reflects a complex reality, with an increase of 3 p.p. This is incomplete. "3 p.p." needs context to be translated. "p.p." likely stands for something like "per person," "per page," or "point percentage," but without knowing the full sentence or document, the best translation can't be provided. Compared to last year. There was also a strengthening sense of hope: 40% of Brazilians see Christmas as a time of renewal. While 47% see the date as an opportunity to gather family.

This scenario reveals a duality: while some face introspection and solitude, others find in the date a chance for reconnection and optimism.

Christmas traditions withstand change.

On the table, the classics remain the stars. Peru (18%), Chester (11%), and Ham (9%) They remain among the most cherished dishes. Family Christmas Eve dinner continues as one of the hallmarks of Brazilian Christmas, being the choice of 27% of those interviewed.

Consumption with the foot on the brake

Consumer behavior reflects the search for financial equilibrium. 44% will finance Christmas expenses with the month's salary. Already, 2 out of every 10 Brazilians will use the second installment of the 13th salary, while another 10% will use the first installment of the 13th salary, while 7% will have additional income streams or side hustles. For many, Black Friday was a strategic opportunity, with 33% purchased gifts during the promotions.

Research reveals how much Christmas adapts to social and economic conditions. Even amidst restrictions and shifts in behavior, Brazilians still value the date as a moment of renewal and connection. It's a reflection of our capacity for adaptation and the emotional value Christmas holds," concludes Ligia Mello.

Inclusion and speed: the Brazil-Asia e-commerce revolution In recent years, Brazil has experienced a significant transformation in its e-commerce landscape, driven by a combination of factors including increased internet penetration, the rise of mobile technology, and a growing middle class with higher disposable income. This transformation has been further accelerated by the strengthening of trade relations between Brazil and Asia, particularly with China. **Inclusion: Bridging the Digital Divide** One of the most notable aspects of Brazil's e-commerce growth is the inclusion of previously underserved populations. Historically, Brazil has faced challenges with digital inequality, where certain regions and demographic groups had limited access to the internet and e-commerce platforms. However, initiatives by the government, private sector, and non-governmental organizations have worked to bridge this digital divide. Programs such as "Internet para Todos" (Internet for All) have aimed to expand broadband access across the country, particularly in rural and remote areas. Additionally, partnerships with tech companies have led to the development of affordable smartphones and payment solutions, making it easier for lower-income individuals to participate in the digital economy. **Speed: The Rapid Growth of E-commerce** The speed at which Brazil's e-commerce sector has grown is remarkable. According to data from the Brazilian E-commerce Association (ABComm), the sector has seen exponential growth over the past decade. In 2020, despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, e-commerce sales in Brazil reached a record high, with a significant increase in the number of online shoppers and the volume of transactions. This rapid growth can be attributed to several factors: 1. **Increased Internet Penetration**: With more Brazilians gaining access to the internet, the potential customer base for e-commerce has expanded significantly. 2. **Mobile Technology**: The widespread adoption of smartphones has played a crucial role in driving e-commerce growth. Mobile commerce (m-commerce) has become increasingly popular, allowing consumers to shop anytime, anywhere. 3. **Payment Solutions**: The introduction of various payment methods, including digital wallets, credit cards, and installment plans, has made online shopping more accessible and convenient for consumers. 4. **Logistics and Delivery**: Improvements in logistics and delivery services have enhanced the e-commerce experience. Companies have invested in technology and infrastructure to ensure faster and more reliable delivery, which is critical for customer satisfaction. **Brazil-Asia Trade Relations** The strengthening of trade relations between Brazil and Asia, especially with China, has had a profound impact on Brazil's e-commerce sector. China is not only a major source of imported goods for Brazil but also a significant investor in Brazilian technology and infrastructure. Chinese e-commerce giants like Alibaba and JD.com have expanded their operations into Brazil, bringing with them advanced technologies and business models. This has led to increased competition and innovation within the Brazilian e-commerce market. Additionally, Chinese investment in Brazilian logistics and technology has improved the overall efficiency of the e-commerce supply chain. **Conclusion** The inclusion and speed of Brazil's e-commerce revolution are reshaping the retail landscape in the country. By bridging the digital divide and leveraging the benefits of increased trade with Asia, Brazil is positioning itself as a major player in the global e-commerce market. As this trend continues, it is likely that we will see even more innovation and growth in the sector, benefiting both consumers and businesses alike.
