Data shows consumers reducing spending and turning towards second sources of income in the face of rising prices
MINNEAPOLIS: Digital River, a global commerce enabler directly connecting brands and buyers, today released findings from its most recent consumer survey aimed at helping brands understand shifting consumer shopping habits tied to current and future economic concerns. The survey data was collected from 3,000 total respondents equally spread across the US, UK, and Germany.
Global economic worries persist, yet consumers are less concerned about personal finances compared to previous years.
Despite facing heightened financial strain, a significant portion of consumers anticipate a brighter financial future ahead, with hopes for improvement over the next year.
Consumers have changed spending habits to cope with uncertainty.
While some resort to 'doom spending' to cope, many consumers are scaling back spending across the board, trying to control budget variance.
Shoppers are divided on their approach to savings.
Many consumers have pursued side hustles to add to their savings or plan to in the future, with rising costs underscoring the need for emergency funds.
“Amid global economic concerns, consumers are demonstrating cautious optimism about their financial outlook, signaling a shift towards greater cost-consciousness and strategic savings," said Ted Rogers, Digital River’s Chief Marketing Officer. "While facing the pressure of rising prices, the trend of decreased spending and increased savings underscores a prudent approach to navigating economic uncertainty, with encouraging signs of price stabilization in certain markets."
