Key Insights
1.
Move over, TV ads! In 2022, nearly 20% of U.S. consumers got holiday gift ideas from social media. Gen Z and Millennial shoppers were more than twice as likely as Gen X and Baby Boomers to buy social media-inspired gifts.
2.
More than 93% of consumers noticed higher prices in their everyday shopping. Amidst record inflation, the majority of American shoppers adjusted their spending and a third of those cut back on holiday expenses.
3.
Consumers were more focused on financial security ahead of 2023. While family, physical and mental health remained top priorities for consumers, their career and finances increased in relative importance in 2022.
About the Report
Methodology
Jungle Scout conducted an anonymous survey on Oct. 14, 2022, among more than 1,000 U.S. consumers about their buying preferences and behaviors. Respondents represented 49 U.S. states, all genders and ages 18 to 75+, as well as varying employment types and income levels.
Respondents were asked questions about their behaviors and spending for the fourth quarter (October, November, December) of 2022. Some of the analysis in the report compares responses from this survey to previous consumer trends surveys conducted by Jungle Scout, where data has been collected on a quarterly basis since June 2020.
