Tracking by GfK followed respondents' search at home and website activity. Surveys were completed shortly after the purchase, based on online and offline decision making.
** According to the report, parts of the purchase data for 2012 was incomplete. This data has been substituted with corresponding data from 2013 for a full annual picture. This statistic is therefore based on data from January - February 2012, March - June 2013 and July - December 2012.
