The document provides insights from surveys of over 19,000 Chinese consumers aged 18-54, with a focus on 18-34 year olds. This group of over 360 million digitally connected consumers represents an important market for luxury brands. The surveys reveal how the financial outlook, lifestyles, and media consumption of young Chinese consumers compares to Americans of the same age group.
1) The majority of US consumers have purchased apparel both online and offline, however, brick-and-mortar is still the dominant transaction channel.
2) In fact, US consumers’ attitude towards fashion and their purchase behavior has changed little over the past five years.
3) We expect brick-and-mortar to remain the dominant store format for US apparel and footwear retail in the near future.
4) As retailers have shifted their budgets to digital advertising, the influence of all major media channels has decreased in the past five years, except for social media and mobile video.
5) Among millennials, the influence of social media on apparel purchases is on par with traditional media like TV and magazines.
The post-’90s generation is made up of those born between 1990 and 1999 in China; it is also the generation that is driving e-commerce in China. To attract these post-’90s consumers, online retailers have adopted recommender systems based on previous purchases and personal preferences. However, current Chinese online retailers do not typically consider the purchasing histories of their neighbors, although those neighbors have been proven to influence consumer behavior intention in several fields of study. Thus, this study investigates neighbors’ influences on Chinese consumer behavior in online shopping. In particular, this study examines the relationship between neighbors’ purchase histories and consumers’ purchase decisions among Chinese post-’90s consumers. Furthermore, this research seeks to determine whether neighbors’ purchasing history has an influence on consumer perceptions (e.g., perceived enjoyment, perceived risk) and whether perceived enjoyment and perceived risk have influences on purchasing intention.

This document analyzes the characteristics and evolution of Chinese eCommerce users based on data from 2012-2013. It finds that the number of online shoppers in China reached 242 million in 2012, with an average spending of RMB 5,023. Online shoppers are increasingly purchasing overseas goods, with total spending reaching RMB 48.3 billion in 2012.

These clusters are influenced by digital technology, e-commerce, and private labels. The study also examines consumer ages and shopping behaviors.
A key point is that global millennials, specifically Hispanic millennials, exhibit behaviors similar to brand enthusiasts and ambivalents. Hispanic millennials make up a large portion of both the Hispanic population and total millennial population in the US. They are early adopters of mobile and digital technologies and avid consumers of consumer packaged goods. To effectively reach Hispanic millennials, the document argues that marketers should

China E-Commerce & Social Media Customer Behavior Overview Andrea Colaianni
China is set to become the largest e-commerce market in the world, reaching $300 billion by 2015. Chinese consumers are younger than Western consumers and have different shopping behaviors.

Retailers must evolve to succeed in the changing landscape. Major trends include the rise of mobile/online shopping, personalized marketing using consumer data, and same-day delivery expectations. Retailers need to expand their revenue sources beyond physical stores by developing new business models and marketplaces. They also must cut costs through supply chain optimization and reducing physical footprint to adapt to declining in-store sales. Retailers who reinvent their business models, cut costs aggressively, and reconfigure their real estate portfolios will be best positioned to thrive in this new dynamic environment.

It notes that Southeast Asia's population and economy are large and growing, with a burgeoning middle class that is increasingly connected digitally. The number of digital consumers in Southeast Asia grew exponentially from 90 million in 2015 to 250 million in 2018, and is expected to reach over 300 million by 2025. This growing digital consumer base represents a major opportunity for brands to capture online spending, which is projected to grow much faster than the number of digital users through 2025.
Marketing Infographic: Millennial consumer behavior & energy drink categoryKaryna Broadhurst
The document discusses marketing trends related to Millennials based on research from Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and other sources. Key points include:
- Millennials, aged 18-34, are influenced by technology and have different consumer behaviors than older generations like Baby Boomers. They value relevance, reputation, relationships, and social influence.
- Millennials are more likely than older groups to use their phones for coupons/promotions and be influenced by celebrity endorsements. They prioritize personal success, multitasking, adventure, and social causes over glamour.

U.S. Marketers are quickly shifting growth priorities among multicultural (MC) segments, especially since the White Non-Hispanic (WNH) segment has been declining since 2016. The MC economic outlook for 2018 looks remarkably powerful for several reasons:
• The Employment-Participation rate is higher than WNH and continues to step up, especially for Hispanics
• Unemployment rate is at record lows for all MC segments
• Personal Income has continued to increase for all MC segments while it has slowed down for WNH.
Ups china 2017 industrial buying dynamics studyVivien Cheong
Chinese manufacturers seeking to expand globally can learn the following from a UPS study of industrial buyers in China, Europe, and the US:
1) Online purchasing is increasingly popular, especially in China, while personal relationships remain important for buyers globally.
2) Post-sales services like repairs and technical support are highly valued by buyers and can differentiate suppliers, with over 20% willing to switch for this.
3) While online research is common, in-person meetings at trade shows and with sales representatives remain part of buyers' research process, especially in Europe.
The coronavirus crisis has demoralized Chinese consumers, with most expecting 4.75 months before a return to normality. Consumers consider the crisis to be extremely severe and are adjusting their budgets for a frigid economy and the prospect of much time spent indoors. Over this period, consumers will be paying extra attention to whether brands demonstrate their support for China.
"Consumers in Crisis" is a research program run by Re-Hub & Zectr, a Hong Kong machine learning consumer insights startup.

Nielsen global online consumer confidence october 2011Dung Do
Global online consumer confidence fell for the seventh consecutive quarter according to Nielsen's survey. A majority of consumers now believe they are in an economic recession and are increasing their spending restraint. The top concerns were the economy and job security. If budgets contract, discretionary spending on apparel, dining out, and electronics would be reduced while savings and essentials would be prioritized. The outlook remains pessimistic in Europe and North America where many believe the recession will continue into the next year.

Abstract
This paper discusses the Chinese marketplace, including: the demographic make-up of the consumer population in China, how international and domestic businesses choose to market to the Chinese consumer, international business in China, unsuccessful marketing campaigns in China, superstitious beliefs and their effect on certain products marketed in China, Chinese regulation and its affected on what is allowed to be marketed in China, the issue of fraudulent and counterfeit products in China, the decline of foreign investment in China and reasons why, the Chinese Calendar and how that affects sales, and finally e-commerce and mobile commerce in China. From this investigation of the Chinese market the paper seeks to provide a cursory knowledge of what a company or investor should know about Chinese markets before investing their money in China.
Introduction
The Chinese marketplace is a bit of a peculiar case for a number of reasons. Firstly, China is a vast country with many different dialects and cultural differences, and these different consumer groups have different behavior (“Chinese Consumer Behavior Overview”, 2017; “Understanding Chinese Consumers”, 2018). For several reasons, Chinese consumers have developed particular things they tend to look for over Western consumers. Because of a history of fraudulent products in China, for example, Chinese consumers desire secure platforms such as WeChat and Tmall with verified and safe products, and strong customer support. Chinese consumers have become more health conscious, and more focused on the quality and safety of products over price. Chinese consumers use the internet and in particular their phones to purchase products online moreso than in Western countries, and are doing so at an increasing rate. It is hard for international brands to compete with domestic ones in China on the topic of price, but international brands are certainly capable of competing with domestic Chinese brands when it comes to providing quality products that are also safe, which is more what the modern Chinese consumer wants. While China is a place of much opportunity for international businesses, the Chinese market is a highly competitive market, and beset with trademark squatters, fraudulent and counterfeit products, a government that ...

The document summarizes findings from the ProsperChina Q4 2010 Survey of 19,402 Chinese consumers. It finds that purchase intentions for big ticket items among high-income Chinese adults have decreased year-over-year. High earners are also cutting back on major purchases. The most popular vehicle brands owned and considered for purchase by high-income Chinese consumers are Volkswagen, Honda, and Buick. Additionally, high-income Chinese earning over 100,000 RMB are more fashion-conscious than average consumers and prefer foreign clothing brands.
Technology has profoundly impacted many aspects of modern life. People now rely on smartphones and apps to communicate, online shopping to purchase goods from home, and wearable devices to track health and fitness. Every aspect of life has been influenced by constant technological improvements. The internet is widely accessible and allows access to vast amounts of information. Younger people spend more time using TV-connected devices and digital platforms than watching traditional TV. Consumers conduct online searches and research using their smartphones and search engines before making purchases. Popular online purchases include fashion, travel, and entertainment. Video consumption has greatly increased on platforms like YouTube, with people spending more time watching online videos than Netflix or cable TV. Consumer trends are always changing as new technologies emerge and

Retail Lives
Economic fundamentals continue to strengthen in the
U.S., a trend that is expected to endure through
mid-2019. With continued wage growth acceleration
and consumer confidence near an 18-year high, the
retail marketplace has registered solid spending.
Inflation-adjusted consumer expenditures show a
steady 2.5-3% year-over-year (YOY) growth pattern
since the beginning of 2016. eCommerce sales
accounted for approximately 11.5% of retail sales
(excluding auto sales) in 2017. While we expect that
penetration rate to climb to 14.0% by 2019, physical
stores remain vital to retailer survival in this evolving
retail climate. Despite what the media would lead you
to believe, the overall retail industry is still posting
gains even while it faces secular challenges.
Consumer preference study india 2010 h1Asheesh Gupta
According to a recent survey by Mastercard Worldwide, 25% of Indians intend to spend more in the next 6 months during the festival season, while 65% intend to spend the same as the last 6 months. Those who will spend more are mostly singles and young people under 30, especially in Delhi and Chennai. Consumer electronics is one of the top three reasons people are saving for the next six months, behind only investments and buying or upgrading homes. For those under 30, consumer electronics is the top reason for savings, even surpassing home improvements.

Consumer sentiment increased in March, with 57.8% of Americans confident in the economy, representing a 15-year high. While older generations have been driving gains, sentiment among younger adults also rose 15% in March. However, consumers remain cautious spenders, with 36.9% focusing on practical purchases and 43.1% prioritizing needs over wants. Most consumers carry credit card debt between $1-5,000, though the percentage with $0 balances has declined 3% annually over 5 years as more take on smaller debts.
The document summarizes consumer sentiment and spending behaviors based on a survey from Prosper Insights & Analytics. It finds that while consumer confidence declined slightly from its peak in December, it remains high at 50.1% and well above the 13-month average. Sentiment has surged 19% year-over-year. Consumers continue focusing spending on necessities and essential needs rather than wants. Savings and paying down debt also remain financial priorities over the next three months as consumers maintain a cautious approach.
Consumer confidence cooled slightly in January but remains well above historical averages. While 52.3% of consumers are confident in the economy, down from December's high, this represents a 23% increase over January 2016. Consumers also showed signs of moderating spending after the holidays, with 37.2% reporting more practical purchases and 42.8% focusing only on needs. However, optimism for an economic rebound reached a new high of 37.8%, up over 6% from last year, though 38.1% remain unsure of recovery. Most consumers still believe the crisis will impact their lifestyles through 2022, primarily by sticking to budgets and scrutinizing purchases.
- Consumer sentiment surged in December 2016 with 54.5% of Americans confident in the economy, the highest level in over 10 years, as political anxiety eased somewhat.

The percentage of adults who are confident or very confident in the economy fell to 42.0%, down from 49.0% in February 2015. While consumers feel more positive about their savings than following the recession, the percentage who feel better off financially has plateaued just under 30% recently. In February, consumers indicated that paying down debt and increasing savings would be priorities over the next three months.
Consumer confidence dropped nearly 4 points in January 2016 to 42.5%, the lowest level in 13 months.

Most consumers indicate the economic crisis will impact their lifestyles over the next 5 years by sticking to budgets, being more price conscious, and spending less on dining out and credit card debt.
Consumer confidence rebounded in November, rising 3 points from October to 47.5%. While confidence and holiday spending plans were up slightly from last year, consumers remained practical in their purchasing and focused on needs over wants. On average, US holiday shoppers plan to spend $806 on gifts and holiday items, flat compared to last year, but when including self-gifting, total planned holiday spending is $937, up 4.1% from 2014. Generations X and Baby Boomers currently account for 65% of the $138 billion in total planned holiday gift spending.

Employment Outlook: Quarter-over-quarter the employment outlook improves, with fewer 18-34 Chinese Consumers (31.5% vs. 37.5% in Q4 2010) anticipating more layoffs over the next six months than at present. Year-over-year, however, the employment outlook is more dismal, as only 24.6% were anticipating more layoffs in Q1 2010. One issue contributing to the fluctuating employment outlook are new college graduates who are chasing too few jobs. This group, dubbed “Ants” represent the vast pool of educated Chinese youth whose academic qualifications don’t match up with what the job market needs. Competition is so fierce that 30% of graduates of prestigious universities, in fields such as medicine, engineering and management are ready to work for very low salaries.* In the U.S. 26.1% are anticipating more layoffs than at present in the next 6 months.

However, the majority does not agree that they are saving enough to meet their future needs.

Up 32.3% to 18.06 million vehicles, China was the world’s biggest market for auto sales, including passenger cars, trucks and buses according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers. These stats far outstrip the 11.5 million vehicles sold in the U.S. for the second consecutive year. Analysts note, however, that China will probably record the first negative year-on-year auto sales growth in 20 years in 2011 due to ending tax and subsidy policies that will heavily impact sales of small cars.* Among 18-34 Chinese Car Owners in Q1 2011, 28.5% indicate they drive a Chinese vehicle most often, while 30.6% drive European models and 17.3% drive U.S. models.

The China Association for Automobile Manufacturers said that sales rose 5.4% from 2010 in March, noting that the growth rate contracted by 50 percentage points compared with a year earlier. Several factors, including a surge in oil prices, the withdrawal of government incentives and the Japanese earthquake's impact on vehicle production contributed to the slower growth.* Of 18-34 Chinese Consumers planning to buy/lease in the next 6 months, the top five brands being considered are Audi (11.2%), Volkswagen (7.9%), BMW (7.1%), Buick (6.4%) and Honda (6.3%).
