About the Report

Methodology

Jungle Scout conducted an anonymous survey between May 8 and May 9, 2023, among 1,000 U.S. consumers about their buying preferences and behaviors. Respondents represented 50 U.S. states, all genders, and ages 18 to 75+, as well as various employment types and income levels. Gender-segmented survey data excludes a portion of nonbinary respondents not large enough to offer fair representation for analysis.

Respondents were asked questions about their behaviors and spending since the beginning of 2023. 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.
