7 APRIL, 2020 SYDNEY: As Australians are being asked to stay home in an effort to flatten the curve of coronavirus (COVID-19), they are spending significantly more time with online food and cooking content. And it’s younger audiences that are driving the increases in time.

Nielsen’s daily Digital Content Ratings data showed a 70%¹ increase in time spent on Sunday 29 March versus Sunday 1 March and Sunday 29 March recorded the highest Daily Time in 2020, with a combined total of 63,555 hours spent on food and cooking websites.

Nielsen Digital Content Ratings reported a shift in online audience behaviour at the time when the Government announced stage 1 restrictions on Sunday 22 March, announcing the closure of clubs, pubs, restaurants and cafes and recommending families to stay at home. Nielsen data also showed that on the last weekend of March, Australians spent 71% more time consuming food and cooking content online when compared to the last weekend of February⁴.

Nielsen’s Managing Director of Media and Sports, Monique Perry said “We are adjusting to our new reality of more time at home cooking and have leaned more heavily than ever on Australia’s content-rich food and cooking websites. Media agencies, advertisers and brands have significantly more opportunity to engage with consumers through this category through these difficult times. It’s a real opportunity to talk to Australian’s while they are planning and preparing meals for their families and this could support both tactical and long term brand building campaigns.”

Nielsen Digital Content Ratings melihat adanya peningkatan di semua demografi untuk situs web memasak. Dengan pertumbuhan tertinggi berasal dari warga Australia berusia 13-24 tahun.

Melihat akhir pekan terakhir di bulan Maret, peningkatan terbesar dalam hal waktu yang dihabiskan untuk konten makanan dan memasak online dibandingkan dengan bulan sebelumnya dilaporkan oleh setiap kelompok usia seperti di bawah ini.

• Orang berusia 13-24 tahun +144% pada hari Jumat 27 Maret
• Orang berusia 25-39 tahun +94% pada hari Sabtu, 28 Maret
• Orang berusia 40-54 tahun +64% pada hari Sabtu, 28 Maret
• Orang yang berusia di atas 55 tahun +66% pada hari Minggu 29 Maret

Gai Le Roy, CEO of IAB Australia, commented: “It looks like Australians have finally admitted to themselves that they are going to be eating at home a lot in the coming weeks and have started to look for recipe inspiration to add a bit of variety to their normal repertoire of meals. When our time at home is increased and with many of us struggling to remember what day it is at times, it is interesting to see the habitual pattern of Sunday being the key meal planning and recipe hunting day being retained.”

And, to coincide with the growing interest in cooking at home, Nielsen Homescan data for the four weeks ending March 22 revealed that Australians are buying more key cooking ingredients, such as authentic Asian and Indian grocery items, up 128% and 185% respectively in terms of value sales.

Baking is also high on the homestay agenda with an increase in key ingredients such as sugar 64% Volume, flour, 156% volume growth. In fact, In the past four weeks Australians have stockpiled enough flour to last approximately 65 days, while bread mix has sold more than double the expected volume and has seen dollar growth of 202%.
