Consumers are seeking eco-friendly alternatives to everyday products, but many of these options are either too expensive or difficult to find.

There is a growing gap between those who can afford quality education and those who cannot, making it harder for lower-income consumers to access opportunities.

Skill Mismatch

The rapid pace of technological change is creating a mismatch between the skills consumers have and the skills required for jobs in emerging industries.

As cybercrime increases, consumers are more vulnerable to identity theft, hacking, and fraud, with many lacking adequate protection or recovery resources.

While electric vehicles are becoming more popular, many consumers find them too expensive or lack access to charging infrastructure, limiting their adoption.

Older adults are often excluded from using new technologies due to a lack of accessibility features, creating barriers in their daily lives.
