Consumers have grown more concerned about coronvirus over the past four weeks, according to research by the Consumer Brands Association. Four weeks ago, just 37 percent of consumers said they were “very concerned” with the virus, but now the number has risen to 54 percent.
In addition, 84 percent of Americans have seen shortages of high-demand products during the pandemic, up from 37 percent at the beginning of the month. “This pandemic has impacted every American, changing our daily lives in unprecedented ways,” said Consumer Brands President and CEO Geoff Freeman. “While Americans’ concerns about the coronavirus and their ability to access essential products is high, we’re beginning to see slight declines in both, indicating a shift in sentiment and experiences around our ‘new normal.’”
