Ipsos’ Enhanced Media Metrics Australia (emma) study’s new data on time of day fast food consumption shows that over 40% of the fast food consuming public will do so between 5-8pm, this could typically be whilst out socialising, after work and with friends & family, with the 2nd most popular time between 11:30am and 2pm during the working day.
Looking at the generations, Gen Y and Gen Z over index vs. 14+ population at large on consumption in the afternoon and late evening reflecting different lifestyle patterns, a lower percentage in 9-5 roles and more socialising in the late evening.
