GENERATE BREAK THROUGH INSIGHTS IN SUSTAINABILITY

With Natural Marketing Institute's LOHAS Sustainability Market Research Segmentation

The Institute Lifestyles of Health & Sustainability Segmentation (LOHAS)

Consumers incorporate eco-focused behaviors in their lives in many different ways, at varying levels and for different reasons. Organizations of all types need to understand today's sustainability dimensions: who the green/sustainability consumers really are, how they interact in the marketplace, and what prices they are willing (or not) to pay for additional sustainability attributes.

Segmenting Consumers

The Institute's analysis of the U.S. population's attitudes and behaviors regarding health and wellness has long indicated that there are clearly identifiable health and wellness segments.

The Institute's LOHAS segmentation is the first and only consumer insight tool to measure and trend the sustainability marketplace classifying the U.S. population into one of five mutually exclusive segments: LOHAS, NATURALITES, DRIFTERS, CONVENTIONALS and UNCONCERNED. The segments run along a continuum from those most engaged with issues related to health and sustainability (the LOHAS consumer) to those who are not engaged (the UNCONCERNED).

  • Over 50,000 Homescan households are scored to the 5 mutually exclusive Institute segments
  • Segments also aligned with PRIZM clusters
  • Longitudinal view of panel data
  • Ongoing collaboration since 2007
