Overviews and analyses

Data

Figures on the 50+ consumer in Poland. For every overview we give the data publisher, the measurement period and the method, so that you can check them at the source and compare them with the next year's edition.

Report

Report: advertising to 50+, television versus the internet

Who spends the most, how much goes to television and how much to the internet, and where people over 50 are in the meantime. Plus what nobody has measured for 2025 and 2026.

Demographics

A decade ago Poland was clearly younger than the rest of the EU; today it has almost caught up with the average. Plus older people's spending worldwide and in the US according to 2026 reports.

Purchase decisions

Who decides on larger household spending

Answers by age and gender from the CBOS survey of July 2025. With the limits that change the meaning of the figures: larger expenses are not everyday shopping, and the answer “woman” in a single-person home does not describe a division of roles.

Audience demographics given as the intersection of gender and age, not as two separate shares. Together with what you must not read into a single channel's measurement.

Market data

The digital advertising market in Poland and communication to people aged 50+

How we work with figures

Four rules

A figure has a source

Every value has its publisher and the address of the publication. A figure without a source does not go into the text, even when “everybody knows it”.

A figure has a date

We give the period the measurement covers, not the date the article was published. Market data ages faster than the texts about it.

Data separate, conclusions separate

What the measurement shows and what is our interpretation are two different things, and we keep them apart in the text.

Own data with methodology

When we publish figures from our own channels, we say where they come from and how they are calculated. Otherwise they could not be compared with anything.
