• The CQCD Barometer includes:
• Regular surveys to monitor evolving trends.
• Over 1000 Quebecers surveyed, representing the primary purchasing decision-makers.
• Fixed indicators continuously monitored.
• Specific measures and thematic reports for in-depth analysis.

Do Quebecers prefer shopping at stores that offer second-hand items? Is the term “planned obsolescence” well-known? Are consumers willing to repair their broken or defective goods?
