Why APAC CMOs need to understand ‘emotional demand’ spaces
Shoppertainment is a US$1 trillion opportunity in APAC but to take advantage successfully will require an understanding of ‘emotional demand’ spaces, according to a report from Boston Consulting Group.
What’s an emotional demand space?
The report, published in partnership with TikTok, identifies customers as operating in six key demand spaces across two core groups: functional demand spaces, which encompass convenience (easy for me), improvement (better for me) and validation (confirm for me); and emotional demand spaces, including recommendation (advise me), indulgence (spoil me) and inspiration (inspire me).
Why it matters
Emotional demand spaces will represent 40% of e-commerce GMV in APAC by 2025, the report predicts. Those brands that can deliver the right sort of engaging content in a shoppertainment context can inspire key switching behaviour that engages customers at the “moment of truth”. BCG suggests this can trigger a halo effect that radiates out across consumer journeys, so “allowing brands to transition purchasing behaviour and capture customers in the functional demand spaces”.
