Optimism among vaccinated people

According to the latest PwC "2021 Global Consumer Insights" study, three out of five consumers (61%) are optimistic about the future. They are increasingly shopping in stores again, leisure activities are moving outside their own four walls again and travel planning is also picking up speed. The survey of 9370 consumers in 26 countries revealed that vaccinated people are much more positive about the Covid-19 situation in their country than unvaccinated people: 66% of at least partially vaccinated respondents are optimistic, compared to 43% of unvaccinated respondents.

The form of work also has an influence on how the Covid-19 situation is perceived: Those who work from home or are able to perform a hybrid form of work are ten percentage points (68%) more optimistic than their colleagues who do not work from home (58%).
