Participation in leisure activities has grown in importance since the industrial revolution in Great Britain, which had a significant impact on culture, not to mention social and economic conditions. Since then, working conditions have improved dramatically within the UK, while working hours have reduced, thus allowing people to set aside more time for leisure activities.   This report will discuss leisure activities as defined and categorised by National Statistics' Classification of Individual Consumption by Purpose (COICOP) system. Using this system, the market has been divided into six main categories, including audio-visual, photographic and information-processing equipment; other major durables for recreation and culture; other recreational items and equipment, gardens and pets; recreational and cultural services; newspapers books and stationery; and restaurants, cafés, etc.   According to Key Note estimates, as based on figures from National Statistics, consumer expenditure on leisure activities stood at £172.35bn in 2011 (in terms of current prices), up by 3% from the previous year. Although the recession had some effect on leisure expenditure in 2009, when it fell by 4.2%, it has since continued to grow, with the recreational and cultural services and restaurants, cafés, etc. sectors observing the strongest growth in both 2010 and 2011. This is likely to continue in 2012, when London plays host to the Olympic Games, thus providing a significant boost to travel and tourism within the capital city. Furthermore, the large investment that has been allocated towards the Statford area of London in preparation for the Olympics should have a legacy effect on tourism within the locality.   Another area of the industry that is likely to do well if the economic recovery should continue is the audio-visual, photographic and information-processing equipment sector. The popularity of entertainment technology has increased substantially over the past decade, boost

We note that Tanzania's telecoms industry is one of the region's most competitive, with a host of big hitters jockeying for a share of the market. Our telecoms team forecasts that there will be more than 52 mobile phone subscribers per 100 inhabitants in 2011 and this will rise to nearly 70 by 2016. These are phenomenal numbers and the sheer manner in which mobile phones have caught on in Africa really highlights what can be achieved on the consumer side. Companies that can invest heavily in distributional infrastructure (getting your products to the final consumer is probably the greatest challenge you have to overcome) are best placed. This is a big reason why telecoms and also soft drinks have been so successful in Tanzania and indeed most of Africa. With income still low, there are potentially dynamic opportunities on offer for low-cost goods targeting the mass market in particular and Tanzania is no exception. Demand for basic essentials such as toothpaste and shampoo will grow considerably over the next few years. With internal distribution systems in terrible shape, large investment into distribution must be made. There is still very little formal leverage across much of Sub-Saharan Africa on the consumer side - retail banking penetration is tiny, which makes the takeoff in mobile banking very exciting, and formal home ownership financing is still mostly in its infancy. So much activity remains under the radar across much of the region, where the informal economy accounts for a big chunk of spending. The huge take off in cell phones over the past decade shows that if the price is right, there are huge opportunities at mass market level, where consumers are willing to embrace new brands.
