Young Brits are not going out like other Europeans for several reasons, according to data from YPulse:
1. Cost considerations: Young British consumers are more likely to stay in on weekends because of the cost of going out. 42% of British 18-39 year-olds cite that they can't afford to go out all the time, compared to 28% of their European peers. Additionally, 50% of British 18-39 year-olds say they stay in to save money, which is 10 points higher than the average in other Western European countries.
2. Preference for staying in: 62% of consumers aged 18+ in the U.K. agree they'd rather stay in on the weekends than go out at night, while this sentiment is only held by half of young consumers in other European countries. Young British consumers are embracing the stay-at-home trend, possibly influenced by factors such as prioritizing their wellbeing and going to bed early.
3. Changing drinking habits: Despite staying in more often, young British consumers are not drinking less than their European peers. 46% of British 18-39 year-olds prefer day drinking over going out at night, indicating a shift in drinking habits among young Brits. The number of British 18-39 year-olds who drink weekly is the same as the average in other European countries, showing that while their socializing habits may have changed, their drinking habits have not.
Overall, the trend of young Brits staying in more often can be attributed to factors such as cost considerations, prioritizing wellbeing, and changing preferences for socializing and drinking habits. Brands targeting young British consumers should consider these factors and adapt their strategies to cater to their current lifestyle preferences.
