Dreams.

Dreams take many forms. There are the ones when people shut their eyes and nod off to sleep—whether for a brief snooze or a restful evening—and there’s the more aspirational sort. Some dreams see a person take flight and soar high above the earth, and some involve purchasing or acquiring a desired object. 

While Klarna hasn’t yet figured out how to make that dream of you shooting laser beams from your eyes a reality (don’t worry, we’ll get engineers on it!), we are laser-focused on helping shoppers score the dream item they’ve always wanted. 

In celebration of World Dream Day we’ve conducted research including more than 20 000 consumers from across the world to better understand what shoppers dream about (from the literal to the figurative). And based on what we learned we’ve created the Dream Deals Report, exploring shoppers’ dreaming habits and patterns, and their dream purchases and shopping desires.

Methodology.

Klarna research occurred in May 2022, in cooperation with Dynata and across 19 countries (US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Austria, Poland, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Italy, Spain, and Portugal). The survey includes a minimum of 1,000 respondents in each country. In total, 20,413 consumers ages 18 to 75 participated.

Dreams.

First, the literal. With nearly 8 billion people in the world, there is a whole universe of imagination created by our subconscious every day.

This chapter explores people’s actual dreaming habits and patterns, looking at how often people dream, the types of dreams, and the most common themes globally and nationally.

The dreamiest nation is…

Quantifying the number of dreams every day is a herculean task, but when asked how frequently a person can recall their sleeping dreams, the global average comes to 119 days in a year. For those moments during the day when people drift off for a bit, the average number of days with daydreams is 107, making the combined number of total dreams for the average person around 226 per year.

While nighttime dreaming is consistent worldwide, there is a much more diverse frequency for daydreaming connected to the region where a person lives.

For example, people in Ireland are most likely to daydream (145 per year), while those in Poland are significantly more unlikely to do so (43 per year). The difference between the Nordic countries of Sweden (132), Finland (128), and Norway (124), though, is much less pronounced, with a difference of only 8 separating them. And while thousands of kilometers divide the nations, there’s no separation between the people of Australia and New Zealand when it comes to daydreaming.

  • Canadians have the most dreams at night (143) on average, while the US has the most daydreams (141) per year.

  • The Irish have the highest number of dreams (272) per year, counting both night and day.

  • Men and women average the same amount of dreams at night per year (119), while women daydream 13% more over a year.

Daydream believers.

The US has the most average daydreams per year (141), while Ireland is the country with the most daydreams compared to night dreams (+19 more daydreams), and Poland and France are on the opposite side (+63 more night dreams).

The dreams of youth.

The younger you are, the more likely you will have healing dreams or ones where you dream something that later actually happens, while lucid and recurring dreams seem consistent across generations. On a global average, Gen Z’ers are more than twice as likely to have healing (+145%) and prophetic (+123%) dreams than Baby Boomers.

Highest share of

Healing dreams: US, Canada (24%)

Prophetic dreams: US, Canada, Poland (32%)

Lucid dreams: Spain, Portugal (50%)

Recurring dreams: Sweden, the Netherlands (53%)

Keeping the dream alive.

While everyone has dreams, not every dream gets remembered. About every fourth person occasionally writes down their dreams, but only a few keep a regular dream diary.

The eagerness to recall dreams seems to be a generational preference, as Gen Z’ers (45%) and Millennials (37%) are far more likely to write down their dreams as compared to Gen X’ers (17%) and Baby Boomers (7%).

Most people (60%) say they have researched what their dreams mean, and 1 in 4 Gen Z’ers (24%) do it often.

Would you like cheese on that?

More than a third of people (37%) say they’d actively choose to eat or drink something that would help them remember their dreams better. That’s especially great news for dairy manufacturers, as research shows cheese may help with dream recall. Thanks to their cheese consumption, Canadians (37%) are the most likely to have already remembered a dream. Italians are very willing to try this (53%), making them more than twice as willing as the Danish (25%) to do so and significantly outpacing their American (24%) and European (19%) counterparts.

Dreams of adventure.

As for the most common types of dreams, people often experience exploring nature and seeing distant places, more so than imagining themselves as an athlete, musician, or artist. If you’re experiencing an even more far-out dream, you’re in good company, 1 in 5 people has dreamed about going to outer space.

Distant new places.

  • Women dream more often about exploring nature and seeing distant places on Earth. In contrast, men more often dream about going to outer space. However, the differences are more significant across generations than between genders.

  • 30% of Gen Z’ers have dreamt about being social media influencers. That’s least prevalent in Austria (21%) and most common in New Zealand (40%).

Dreamed I was someone new.

Reflecting their values and interests, Gen Z’ers and Millennials are more likely to dream about quitting their jobs to pursue passions or turn hobbies into careers, or dream about innovating something impactful or innovative for the greater good.

Meanwhile, for people over the age of 40 there seems to be a drastic decrease in dreams overall.

The only consistent dream among all generations is around travel or going on vacation.

Balancing good and villainy.

Dreams where a person becomes a superhero, are more common than dreaming about being the villain in all countries, but there are wide variations in how frequent it is across borders. Spanish people are ten times more likely to dream about being a superhero than a villain, whereas in Finland and Poland, they dream about being a villain almost as often as being the hero.

In a similar comparison, it seems that there is a clear divide between countries when it comes to whether it’s more common to dream about becoming a real person or a fictional character.

The ideal dream purchase.

Having explored what people dream about while asleep, in this section, we explore what shoppers across the world consider to be a “dream purchase.” For many shoppers, there is one (or many!) items out there they have been pining over or admiring from a distance. Some items are more obtainable, others are more aspirational. Either way, we checked in with shoppers on how long they’d wait to make a purchase, how much they’re willing to spend, and more.

What triggers a dream purchase?

In some countries, as many as two-thirds of people have an ideal dream purchase they are looking to purchase. And about half say there is a specific event that would trigger a dream purchase. What that occasion is, varies across countries and generations, but the most common reason seems to be moving to a new residence.

Baby Boomers (20%) are four times more likely to consider retirement a motivator for a dream purchase compared to younger age groups (5%) for whom retirement feels much farther away. On the contrary, at the starting point of working life, Gen Z’ers (20%) are ten times more likely to consider graduation a motivating factor compared to Baby Boomers (2%).

Dreaming for someone else.

Shoppers aren’t only thinking of themselves, approximately half also have a “dream purchase” for someone else. Most often, that someone is a family member or significant other—this is consistent across age groups. However, the younger you are, the more likely you are to be planning to surprise a friend over a family member with their ideal dream purchase.

Defining a dream purchase.

The idea behind dream purchases is something that solves a particular need or opens up new life opportunities, and is consistent across generations. However, younger generations are more likely to consider dream purchases as something to support their hobbies, or that has emotional value.

Open up new life opportunities or solve a particular need?

  • Americans and Australians are more likely to consider a dream purchase to open up new life opportunities. At the same time, Canadians and Europeans are more likely to want something to solve a particular need.

The price is right? Or the time?

More than one-third (37%) insist it’s impossible to put a price tag on what should be considered an ideal dream purchase, and most shoppers (55%) say there is no specific timeframe one has to wait for an item to become a dream purchase.

And the older (and more experienced?) a person is, the more likely they are to believe a dream purchase doesn’t have to come with a specific price tag or that they have to wait to make their dreams come true. However, among those who would put a price tag on a purchase, only 15% say it has to cost more than $5,000.

And for those saying one needs to wait a specific time before an item becomes a dream purchase, it appears people are eager to make their dreams come true, considering purchasing the item in roughly 95 days, or three months, on a global average.

Reasons for a dream deferred.

The top hindrance preventing a dream purchase is cost (62%). Overall, the average time people are willing to wait for a discount for their dream purchase is 134 days, or about 4-5 months. At the same time, 26% of people are willing to wait however long they have to, while 13% say they won’t wait for a discount at all.

Gender, more than age, seems to have a bigger impact when it comes to being patient for a good deal. Women (29%) are more willing to wait as long as it takes compared to men (22%), while Baby Boomers are both twice as likely to wait as long as it takes (36%) and not wait at all (19%) compared to Gen Z’ers (16% and 7%).

The objects of dreams.

One common experience we’ve seen across demographics and borders is people dreaming about something they do not yet own or possess—call it the “Rosebud effect,” in honor of Citizen Kane. Moving from the ethereal to the (potentially) more tangible, for many people, there are also items they don’t yet possess but are considered “dream purchase.”

Dreams about missing items.

It’s widespread to dream about participating in an activity requiring an object you don’t have (imagine skiing without the skis). Another common theme involves owning an item you don’t actually possess when you wake up (like a magic wand that turns random objects into pastries). About half (43%) of people can recall dreams with these ideas. In these dreams, people are most commonly participating in sports or exercise without the proper equipment, or owning unique fashion items. One noted difference, men regularly imagine owning high-end electronics only to wake up and realize it was just a dream.

Lemme upgrade ya.

Half (49%) of shoppers worldwide are currently looking to level up or improve something important to them. Among the genders, men are more likely to be waiting to make purchases for Electronics, Entertainment, and Leisure, and Sports & Hobby, while women favor Clothing & Shoes, Jewelry & Accessories, Beauty, and Home & Garden to a greater extent.

The most popular products to dream about are electronics, but comparing all age groups to each other, the priorities more clearly shifts:

  • Gen Z: Beauty, and Jewelry & Accessories.
  • Millennials: Children’s Products, and Beauty.
  • Gen X: Leisure, Sports & Hobby, and Home & Garden.
  • Baby Boomers: Baby Boomers: Home & Garden, and Leisure, Sports & Hobby.

Kicking up the look.

Among those looking for fashion items, shoes are the top item to level up or replace for both women (49%) and men (50%). Apart from footwear, men want new jeans and jackets, while women prefer dresses and jewelry.

Top of the fashion carts.

  • US shoppers are looking for accessories like hats, gloves, and belts (31%) and jewelry (49%) to a greater extent than in any other country, while in Spain (40%) of people are most eager to level up their swimwear.

  • The greatest differential in priority comes around the desire to buy a new bag with New Zealand (37%) and Germany (7%) in stark contrast.

Leveling up their favorite things.

Hobbies are one of the areas where people are actively looking to upgrade or replace their current items. Overall, about 24% of people on average are looking to do so, with some activities (like making music or learning a new instrument) seeming to attract more dream purchases than others.

Gamers want to level up.

  • More than one-third of people playing computer/video games (35%), and those who make music or are currently learning a new instrument (34%), would like to improve an item they use for that activity.

  • The activities people feel less inclined to level up or replace an item are dancing, yoga, and pilates.

Dreams and DIY activities.

More than one-fourth (26%) say DIY activities like painting, sculpturing, knitting, and crocheting are among the things they like to do the most.

The most popular DIY activity for all generations is painting, except for Baby Boomers who prefer knitting. However, comparing the preferences of all age groups to each other, the preferred activities become more diverse—and so do the things they would like to try the most.

Loyalty cards.

Plastic loyalty cards. Most of us have a whole bunch of them stacked in our wallets or lying around at home and have most definitely been offered to sign up to many more. They promise us discounts, cashback and rewards for being loyal customers when shopping in-store. But there are only so many loyalty cards you can fit into one wallet. How can brands convince consumers to sign up to yet another loyalty program? How is shoppers’ behaviour with respect to loyalty cards changing in the face of the rising popularity of mobile payments?

In this report, we deep dive into the attitudes towards loyalty cards across 19 markets, with responses from 20,000 consumers across the world.

Happy exploring!

Methodology.

Klarna research occurred in May 2022, in cooperation with Dynata and across 19 countries (US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Austria, Poland, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Italy, Spain, and Portugal). The survey includes a minimum of 1,000 respondents in each country. In total, 20,413 consumers ages 18 to 75 participated.

Are there more loyalty cards or wallets in the world?

The retail version of the “doors or wheels” brain teaser could be “loyalty cards or wallets”. If you check the homes and pockets of shoppers across the world, will you find more loyalty cards or wallets?

The majority has more than one.

Many retailers offer incentives and benefits to retain loyal customers and it’s clear they are very popular. While very few shoppers are not tempted by discounts and rewards from their favorite retailers, the vast majority has more than one.

84%

have at least one loyalty card.

68%

have more than one.

Most loyalty card holders use it at least one once a week.

Whether you’re shopping for groceries and everyday essentials, making a dream purchase or have found yourself at the checkout with an impulse buy, reward programs appear to work well as an incentive for using loyalty cards. After all, every penny spent counts towards a return. 2 out of 3 are using a loyalty card on a weekly basis, while 9 out of 10 are using them once a month. An estimate based on the frequency of usage shows that the average shopper uses a loyalty card around 108 times each year.

Overwhelming amounts of physical cards.

Today, despite a massive shift towards digital payments, you are still very likely to find a plastic loyalty card in most shoppers’ wallets. But you are equally as likely to find a shopper who has left one or more of their cards at home, or rejected the idea of signing up to another loyalty program altogether, unwilling to carry another card with them while out shopping.

The wide availability of loyalty programs is overwhelming for shoppers.

Ever been out shopping and been asked to join another reward program? You are not alone. We’ve all been there, stood at the checkout weighing up whether it’s worth signing up to another loyalty program. Is the opportunity to save money great enough? Is it worth having to carry another card with me? With the majority of retailers offering a loyalty program these days, consumers are feeling overwhelmed. This sentiment is felt most strongly by younger generations, while the Baby Boomers are the most open to joining new and a broader number of programs.

Many loyalty cards are left behind by shoppers.

Despite the benefits of discounts, rewards and cash back loyalty programs, the majority of shoppers are not bringing all their loyalty cards with them when they go shopping – which means that they risk losing out on the benefits if caught without their card at the checkout.

52%

52% of shoppers don’t carry all their loyalty cards with them.

Gen Z

are the most likely to leave their physical cards at home, and less than a third (31%) have all their loyalty cards available when they go shopping.

The vast majority of shoppers have rejected a new loyalty card.

There are no downsides to signing up for a loyalty card… or are there? Despite loyalty cards being offered to shoppers for free, with the intention to save users money, consumers still reject signing up to new loyalty programs. Why? For the majority, it comes down to how attractive the reward program is, although nearly one-third have also avoided a loyalty program simply because they didn’t want to add another card to their wallet. What’s clear is for retailers to onboard new loyalty members, the kickback needs to outweigh the hassle of signing-up and committing to another card.

74%

of shoppers have rejected a loyalty card. Gen Z’ers (81%) are the most likely to have done so, while Baby Boomers (55%) are the least.

33%

say it is because they don’t want another card to carry with them – or any plastic cards at all.

Missing out on the benefits.

Have you ever reached the checkout to discover you left your loyalty card at home so can’t collect the reward points? Or that you previously declined one in the same checkout because you didn’t want to carry another plastic card? You are not alone with this either, and you are once again more likely a member of the younger generations.

Is the future of loyalty cards digital?

The shift towards digital has never been faster. Today shoppers are in search of more efficient solutions that help them save time and money when shopping. With smart ways to pay on your phone, loyalty cards will follow a similar transition.

Shoppers are positive towards replacing their plastic cards with a mobile app.

Unsurprisingly, given that shoppers express feeling overwhelmed by the amount of loyalty programs available and as a result, the number of plastic cards they need to carry with them, an overwhelming majority are positive towards carrying them digitally.

73% of shoppers globally are positive about replacing their plastic cards with an app that stores all of their loyalty and rewards programs digitally. While this trend is reflective across demographics, the sentiment is the strongest among the younger generations, with 81% of Gen Z’ers and 82% of Millennials look forward to a future in which they never miss out on potential benefits in the checkout when shopping at their favorite stores – assuming they wouldn’t leave their smartphones at home.

And that’s that.

Welcome to Klarna’s mobile shopping report!

Consumer shopping habits have changed. More reliant on digital devices than ever before and with a growing preference towards mobile which is driving significant behavioral changes among consumers, today there is an increased demand for convenience and flexibility while shopping.

As Klarna has recently launched its new shopping app, we took the opportunity to examine how the rise of mobile has changed consumer shopping habits, as well as to identify the emerging trends that will shape shopping in the future as consumers continue to embrace the mobile experience.

In summary, as shopping becomes more mobile-oriented consumers are looking for a digital-first shopping experience overall, with streamlined shopping apps, digital credit cards, and more.

Methodology.

Klarna’s Shopping App Survey was sent out online in collaboration with research agency Dynata to a representative sample of more than 13 000 participants from 13 countries, conducted in collaboration with research agency Dynata.

This report uses additional consumer research conducted with NEPA across 11 countries  (the US, UK, Australia, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Sweden, Norway, and Finland). The research is conducted on a quarterly basis and always includes a minimum of 1000 respondents in each country per quarter. In total, 18,000 consumers participated during Q4 2021 (October-December).

High usage of mobile phones when shopping.

Mobile phones have grown to become one of the most prominent channels for shopping. They have changed the way consumers shop online, helping people to  discover and find what they need quickly, wherever they are and at whatever time.

Mobile shopping as common practice.

Shopping has become increasingly mobile-oriented, with 71% of people on average saying they have shopped on their mobile.

5 in 7

consumers have already shopped on their mobile phones.

79%

of Americans have already shopped on their mobile phones.

Mobile shopping is on the rise compared to two years ago (before the pandemic).

Many consumers have changed their purchasing habits as a result of the pandemic, with more now turning to their mobile devices to carry out their shopping needs.  Although much of the growth in mobile shopping compared to two years ago is Gen Z and Millennial-driven, this trend is reflective across demographics. 

76%

of Gen Z’ers have shopped more on their mobile phones compared to two years ago, compared to 56% of the general population

Baby Boomers in the US, the UK and France have done the same

An increased preference for mobile phones when shopping.

Although the majority of consumers still prefer to purchase online using traditional desktops or laptops, a number of consumers prefer to use mobile devices, and this preference is on the rise.

  • There is a clear trend for increasing mobile preference in the Nordics. Meanwhile, German shoppers are turning in the opposite direction.
  • The US is the only country where the majority of shoppers have a higher preference for mobile devices than computers.
  • The only countries with a mobile preference lower than 30% are Belgium and France. Four countries (Austria, Finland, the Netherlands and Sweden) have a preference below 30% but mobile shopping has clearly trended upwards during 2021.

Millennials rely more on their smartphones for online shopping.

Preferring to shop on mobile correlates with consumers who have a higher online shopping frequency in general. In general, preference for mobile shopping is  highest among younger generations (Millennials and Gen Xers).

This chart illustrates the preference for mobile shopping for consumer groups that are well above the general average.

37%

shop online at least once a week on their mobile phone.

48%

of Millennials shop at least once a week on their mobile phone.

In-store with a digital footprint.

The ability to research products online before visiting a store is an integral part of the path to purchase. Many shoppers start their shopping journey by doing research online using their mobile devices before visiting the store to shop for their final purchases.

The in-store shopping journey begins online.

The digital evolution does not only mean people are shopping more online. Online research, also called “webrooming,” plays an important role throughout the in-store shopping journey. The majority of modern day trips to the mall start online.

The chart below illustrates the percentage of in-store shoppers who usually research online before shopping in physical stores.

  • Online pre-search is most prevalent for Clothing, Electronics and Beauty products.

  • Electronics stands out as a high pre-search category. Consistent across all generations, at least 8 out of 10 shoppers say that they research items in this category before buying in-store.

Online research has become part of the in-store shopping experience.

The evolution of smartphones has forever changed the in-store shopping experience. Similar to online, in-store shoppers are also making comparisons for competitive prices and offers and checking product reviews and testimonials to make sure they are buying the right product. If you see someone on their phone in a store, there’s a high chance they are doing some additional product research before making a final purchase.

The chart below illustrates the hare of in-store shoppers using their smartphone to research products while in physical stores. 

  • Americans, Australians and Scandinavians do this most often.

  • The stereotypical Nordic preference for having more personal space may come as quite handy for in-store shoppers wanting to keep shop owners unaware that they are not texting or checking the weather, but in fact using their mobile to draw price comparisons and see whether the grass is greener somewhere else.

Mobile shopping has also changed the way consumers interact with brands. As a growing number of consumers embrace mobile, the expectations on the online experience continues to reach new heights.  Nowadays, people are looking for a seamless online shopping experience, that meets their personal needs.

More informed mobile shoppers.

While the digitalization of retail has given additional power to the consumer—including more choice and information—it has also made the decision-making process more complex.Drawing price comparisons and searching for deals and promotions are the most common activities people do when shopping online, followed closely by the ability to manage bought and returned items through delivery tracking.

High usage of mobile apps and shopping apps.

Consumers today have a vast selection of apps installed on their phones, ranging from travel and transportation to shopping, music, and healthcare, among many others. Nonetheless, only a few apps are being used on a weekly basis and consumers express clear frustrations in regards to the number of apps on their devices and how they need to continuously switch between them.

A deep dive into Wellbeing & Leisure trends.

In the past two years, we have seen new habits being formed, with great emphasis on mindfulness activities, and connection to nature.

In this report, we explore current consumption habits and share insights into life outside of work – what activities or hobbies people undertake for their health and mental wellbeing. 

The report is structured into four major themes: the increase of leisure and mindfulness activities, plant parenthood, pet ownership, and Cooking/baking habits.

Leisure activities & meditation.

Following the disruptions of the pandemic to our daily lives, people across the world used more mindfulness activities to help them cope with stress and improve their mental well-being. We’ve asked people to list their top leisure activities, and how has their engagement increased since the end of the pandemic.

Most common activities to recharge/relax.

The restrictions imposed by the lockdowns left many feeling trapped at home. A great number of people across the world have started undertaking new leisure activities or hobbies at home, following the pandemic. Let’s take a look at what were the most popular activities at home to relax or recharge.

Starting meditation.

The leisure activities that saw a surge in popularity during lockdown were “mindfulness” activities”. How we start engaging with mindfulness or meditation activities is very unique to each of us – each having specific motivations, paths, and mindsets. Advice and influence from friends and acquaintances seem to be the number one reason why people start doing mindfulness activities.

37%
