Consumer trends for 2024

Trend #1:

Buying based on value for money

When asked to name their most important purchasing criterion, 24% of respondents said value for money, making it the number one factor. Price (20%) followed, ahead of quality/durability (17%). These three priorities are unsurprising given the current uncertain economic climate, although a longer-term shift toward sustainability might be at play.

Trend #2:

Selective brick and mortar visits

Amid the shift towards e-commerce, supermarkets (44%) rank first among the physical stores consumers plan to visit more often in 2024. This could reflect a prioritization of essential purchases, as well as a rising interest in healthy nutrition. Shopping malls (33%) are second on the list of physical shopping destinations, just ahead of discount stores (30%).

Trend #3:

Luxury items purchased when made to last

With consumers keeping a closer eye on their spending, retailers of luxury goods will need to go the extra mile to attract customers. Quality and durability (45%) is the most important driving factor. Consumers expect their luxury investments to last, especially in an uncertain economic period—and with sustainability growing in importance.
