Indian consumer confidence declines in second quarter: Nielsen

18 Jul 2012 Evaluate

As per latest global consumer confidence findings for the second quarter in 2012 from Nielsen, a leading global provider of information and insights into what consumers watch and buy, Indian consumer confidence has been reported to have declined four points to 119 as compared to 123 in the first quarter of the current calendar year. In the region, Indonesia reported the highest consumer confidence index in Q2 at 120, topping India’s score of 119.

However, according to the report, globally, India's consumer confidence remains among the highest of all the countries. Though, the report also pointed that no doubt the Indian economy is slowing down a bit and the country is adjusting to that new reality, the nominal GDP growth rates are still the envy of the developing world given the size and scale of the market and that India's consumer confidence remains amongst the highest of the countries tracked in the survey and while Indian consumers are getting more anxious about job prospects, rising inflation and a slowdown in the economy.

In its previous survey, Nielsen had said that Indian consumers continue to be the most confident across the globe for the ninth consecutive quarter and Indian optimism over job prospects in the next twelve months has gone up from 78 percent in the last quarter to 84 percent and continues to top the global index on this scale. But in the latest survey report it was highlighted that that job security (21%) and state of the economy (12%) continue to be the biggest concerns for Indian respondents and bleak job prospects can lead to consumers tightening their purse strings, leading to a vicious cycle that affects the GDP.
