Consumer Profiles for Malta

This Consumer Profiles product presents the population of Malta, divided into ten easy-to-understand consumer classifications.

The product is based on segmentation criteria including socio-demographics, lifestyle values and orientation, mind-set, motivation and consumer behaviour in Malta. The data has been drawn from a representative global survey of around 30,000 consumers with various, relatively homogeneous, populations with different consumer characteristics and buying patterns. The research is then distilled into globally identifiable consumer profiles. Consistent and comparable data, with seamless transitions across borders, make this product ideal for international projects.

Consumer Profiles for Malta can be purchased on its own or bundled with GIS polygon data for administrative regions, postcodes and small areas. This effective combination will allow you to perform enlightening analysis supported by stunning visualisations.

Avg Population / Region
Situated south of Sicily and east of Tunisia, the Republic of Malta is a series of islands in the Mediterranean Sea. Malta, Gozo and Comino are the only three inhabited islands of the Maltese archipelago. In terms of area, Malta is the tenth smallest country in the world. The capital city, Valletta, is the smallest capital in the European Union.
Malta’s strategic position in the Mediterranean has been significant. It has been occupied and contested by a number of sea-faring nations including the Phoenicians, Romans, Greeks, French and British.
In 1964, Malta was granted independence from the United Kingdom, but remains within the Commonwealth. It is a republic with a parliamentary system based upon the British system. Divided into five regions, the vast majority of the population (as much as 95%) lives in the urbanised areas of Valletta and Gozo. The population is an ageing one, compounded by the fact that Malta is a popular retirement destination.
Malta’s position as a trading post remains current today and it is a leading European centre for container shipping. Tourism is the largest part of its economy.
With so many significant and diverse historical influences, the culture of Malta is strong in music, art and architecture through to its festivals and cuisine.
It is a member of the United Nations and the European Union.

Consumer classifications

For each region type available, Consumer Profiles for Malta data contains population count (age 15+), percentage and rank for each of the following ten classifications. Click on the + icon for a description of each classification.

Consumer Profiles - Type A

These consumers have the highest per-capita income of all segments. They tend to be young and successful, with a significantly higher level of education than most other groups and are self-employed or in managerial positions. They don’t have children yet and tend to live in metropolitan areas either alone or with partner/friends. As a high disposable income group, these people typically spend the most money on clothes. In terms of choice of smartphone, Apple is preferred to Samsung.

Consumer Profiles - Type B

This group is older, with grown-up children who have left home. They have a high per-capita income but would rather ‘go shopping’ than buy online. As consumers, they are brand-loyal and will search for quality products from favoured retailers.

Consumer Profiles - Type C

Older, and generally living alone or as part of a couple, these people have an above average per-capita income, but an average household income. As consumers, value for money is extremely important and purchases are carefully researched and planned. They tend to be environmentally very aware and will embrace innovation.

Consumer Profiles - Type D

Generally successful office workers, and keen on-line shoppers, the consumers in this group have an above average per-capita income. As a rule, they tend to be conspicuous consumers with high expenditure on watches, jewellery and sporting goods. They are environmentally aware and look for quality and innovation in a product.

Consumer Profiles - Type E

This segment represents consumers with the highest household income and the highest expenditure across most product groups. As the group consists of families with children, the per-capita income is lower than you would expect. With high levels of education, most work in management roles and live in metropolitan areas or large cities. Overall, they are keen shoppers and the most frequent users of online shopping sites. They can be characterised as ‘early adopters’, with a very high usage of smartphone technology and social media. In terms of choice of smartphone, Apple is preferred to Samsung.

Consumer Profiles - Type F

With an average per-capita income, this segment consists mainly of retired couples without children at home. As consumers they are brand and product loyal and place a high importance on value for money. As a group, security is important and a strong emphasis is placed on relationships and being part of a community.

Consumer Profiles - Type G

These consumers have a below average per-capita income. They are socialisers who place a high value on a sense of belonging as well as a sense of excitement and spontaneity. They are interested in new products, but as a rule don’t undertake any pre-purchase research.

Consumer Profiles - Type H

Often younger and with children this group has a below-average per-capita income. As consumers, value for money is important as are favourite brands. Education, security and tradition are high on the list of personal values.

Consumer Profiles - Type I

This group has an above average household income, but as it is primarily made up of households with young children, the per-capita income is lower. Adults are either self-employed or in managerial positions. As consumers they are brand loyal but will embrace new products. The group ranks high on spend in the sports product and education categories. Excitement is an important driver too.

Consumer Profiles - Type J

This is a young group with the lowest per-capita income and comprises mainly students, unemployed and stay-at-home parents. They generally live in towns or more rural areas.
