Men's coats, jackets and watches appear among the most searched items on search engines in July this year compared to the same period last year, points out Radar Simplex. Search for 4G cell phones grows compared to June, probably driven by stock liquidations.

São Paulo, August 15, 2022 - Searches for Father's Day gifts, the winter period and closet renewal for in-person life, after the most intense periods of the Covid epidemic, boosted, in July, the growth of searches for men's articles such as coats, jackets and watches. The increases were respectively in the order of 2,003%, 643% and 609%, when compared to the numbers of searches for these items recorded in the same period of 2021. The data is from Radar Simplex, a platform that uses artificial intelligence to monitor trends in online searches from the massive collection of data in 15 different segments, ranging from electronics, to pets and food. 

Cell phones with 4G technology also registered a significant increase in searches, probably motivated by the interest of users in getting good offers or liquidations of older models, given the arrival of the 5G telephone network, which has already started operating in Brasília and São Paulo, and is expected to be implemented in several states of the Federation by the end of this year. In relation to the month of June 2021, the increase in searches for these devices registered an increase of 987%. 

"In June, just before the first 5G network started operating in the country, searches fell on devices with this technology. Now we have increased searches for devices with previous technology, the 4G. Apparently this is a consumer profile that is looking for liquidations of older models for cheaper prices, "ponders John Lee, founding partner of Simplex. For him, this movement is similar to what happens when some car model goes out of line, in which consumers less attached to the most current models or technological innovations look for good deals.

Women's fashion

Not only men's fashion showed growth in searches in July. Women's wide leg pants continue to arouse interest among consumers. The model, which had already been highlighted in May, showed, in July, growth in searches both in relation to June this year (+553%), and in relation to the same period last year (+ 563%).

Other items that recorded an increase in searches in July, compared to June, were electric oven (+462%) and airfryer (+161%). This may be linked to the increase in the prices of meals away from home or even to the significant increases recorded in relation to gas in recent months.

The term cell phone registered an increase in search engines of almost 6,000% compared to the same period last year; the cold and the return of the June festivities are related to the growth of online searches about costumes and slippers, points out Radar Simplex.

 

São Paulo, July 2022 - The start of operations of the 5G cell phone network in Brazil leveraged, in June, a strong growth in internet searches for devices enabled to operate with this new technology. The increase was in the order of 5,855%, when compared to the same period in 2021. The data are from Radar Simplex, a platform that uses artificial intelligence to monitor trends in online searches from the massive collection of data in 15 different segments, ranging from electronics, to pets and food. According to the platform's data, searches were mainly focused on entry-level or lower-priced models. 

João Lee, founding partner of Simplex, believes that the start of 5G network operations in the country, which began in Brasilia this month, has encouraged people to look for compatible devices. "Apparently, many people are already anticipating to be able to take advantage of the full potential of 5G technology, much faster, and which should be made available in the main urban centers of the country later this year", he believes.

 

Flags and glitter

Another item that showed a significant increase in searches in June compared to May was fantasy (3,257%). "The long-awaited return of the June festivities, after two years absent from the calendar due to the Covid pandemic, as well as the LGBTQIA+ Pride Parade, which returned to São Paulo at the end of last month, are the likely triggers for this increase", bets Lee. 

The low temperatures recorded in the Center-South region of the country in June - when, for example, the São Paulo Climate Emergency Management Center recorded 0.7 ° C in the Engenheiro Marsilac region, in the extreme south of the capital of São Paulo - in addition to Valentine's Day, are factors that may have contributed to increase searches for slippers by 2,000% compared to May. When comparing June to June last year, the same weather phenomenon may also have boosted the growth of searches for short boots (1,634%) and women's boots (1,342%).  

 

Back on the streets

Lee also believes that the improving picture of the Covid pandemic and the return of people to outdoor activities have driven this year's surge in searches for sports shoes, which saw a 3,300% growth in June compared to the same month in 2021.
