[The following is a release from Research And Markets]

December 8, 2008

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Who's Buying Entertainment, 5th Edition" report to their offering. The fifth edition of Who's Buying Entertainment is based on unpublished data collected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics' 2006 Consumer Expenditure Survey. It examines how much Americans spend on amusing themselves by the demographics that count: age, income, high-income households, household type, race and Hispanic origin, region of residence, and education. To round out the spending picture, it also presents who-are-the-best-customers analyses of the data, showing the demographics of spending at a glance. The products and services examined in this report fall within the categories of fees and admissions (movie tickets, social club memberships, etc.); television, radio, and sound equipment; and other entertainment products and services (recreational vehicles, sports equipment, toys, games, photographic supplies, etc.). The spending data in Who's Buying Entertainment are based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Consumer Expenditure Survey, an ongoing, nationwide survey of household spending. The Consumer Expenditure Survey is a complete accounting of household expenditures. It includes everything from big ticket items, such as homes and cars, to small purchases like laundry detergent and videos. The survey does not include expenditures by government, business, or institutions. The lag time between data collection and dissemination is about two years. The data in this report are from the 2006 Consumer Expenditure Survey, unless otherwise noted. To produce this report, New Strategist Publications analyzed the Consumer Expenditure Survey's average household spending data in a variety of ways, calculating household spending indexes, aggregate (or total) household spending, and market shares. Spending data by age, household income, household type, race, Hispanic origin, region of residence, and education are shown in this report. These analyses are presented in two formats—for all product categories by demographic characteristic and for all demographic characteristics by product category.
