History
The Demand Institute initially focused on American Communities. The first report on consumer demand was The Shifting Nature of U.S. Housing Demand (2012).[3][4][5] This was followed by A Tale of 2000 Cities: How the Sharp Contrast Between Successful and Struggling Communities is Reshaping America (2014).[6][7]
More recently, the work has extended to China with the publication of "Sold in China" (2015), "No More Tiers" (2015), "A Wealth of Opportunity" (2016), and "The End of Cold, Hard Cash" (2016).[8][9][10][11][12]
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York announced on January 13, 2014, that it was launching a new Survey of Consumer Expectations, which is conducted monthly by The Demand Institute.[13][14]
The United Nations and the United Nations Foundation joined forces with The Demand Institute and Salesforce to launch Project 8, a global collaboration to help the world better anticipate the needs of 8 billion people in 2025 and beyond.[15] The program was publicly announced in October 2014.[16][17]
