General Public: Segmentation – unfamiliar

This group is defined by their lack of knowledge of the sector. 45% of people in this segment say they know almost nothing about pharmaceutical companies operating in the UK. Given their limited knowledge of the topic, this group often don’t have an opinion of the sector across a range of issues. This limited sector knowledge and ability to form opinions of it means that they are less able to rate the sector. This leads to scores that appear below the average, due to many responding ‘don’t know’ to our questions.

Demographics & habits

This group is more likely to be female, younger (18-44 years old) and live in the South than the national profile. They tend to get their news from television, online newspapers and the radio, but to a lesser extent than the public overall. They are less interested in public affairs and pharma related news than others, and unlikely to share and discuss their opinions about these. They are also less likely to say they would get the COVID-19 vaccine if were available to them.
