Understanding Asia - End of the Year Review

Ipsos looks at the data behind the headlines of 2023.

A message from Simon Wake - CEO Ipsos in Australia

Dear colleagues,

We’re nearing the finish line for 2023. This year certainly has been tumultuous and one really none of us could have envisaged. In our Year in Review newsletter – Understanding Asia, our Ipsos experts share some of their latest research from across the globe and we look back at the events of 2023 and how consumers and citizens have reacted and reflect what’s next in 2024.

We also share some of our latest Australian research and perspectives on Climate Change, where Ipsos surveys Australians to understand changes in our attitudes and sentiments relating to climate change and other environmental issues, 2023 State of the CX Nation report focusing on identifying future trends, best practises and challenges facing CX leaders in Australia and Our State of Mind report where we shed light on the state of mental wellbeing culture in the workplace and empower organisations to make positive changes. Despite 2023 being a difficult year, 68% of Australians think 2024 will be a better year!

Thank you for your continued support and partnership this year.

Wishing you a peaceful and happy festive season and look forward to catching up with you in 2024.

Simon Wake
CEO, Ipsos in Australia
