US Leisure Activity Spending

Survey

This report is based on ABI Research’s biannual Technology Barometer™: Connected Home & Computing survey (US: 4Q 2011), which is a primary research-based tracking study that provides dynamic views and insight into the constantly changing US consumer electronics market. In December 2011, 2000 US consumers completed a comprehensive online questionnaire that gathered information on current ownership and next six month purchase intentions (including purchase drivers and brands under consideration) for a number of consumer electronics products. This report covers monthly expenditures on leisure activities, including going out to eat, going to the movie theater, renting DVDs and/or Blu-ray discs, and renting video games. In addition, information is also included on media tablet owner monthly app spending, as well as smartphone owner monthly app spending.
