Understanding Inflation’s Impact on Consumer Spending

Using Quantitative Research to Track and Predict Spend

Challenge

In the current economic environment, are consumers willing and able to spend as much as they typically do during the holidays? The recent inflation crisis left an investment manager unsure. The client needed answers to questions like, “How much is discretionary income affected?” and “Which sectors will be most impacted during the busiest consumer spending months?”

The GLG Approach

GLG Research designed and executed a survey that captured data from thousands of consumers in the United States. The survey focused on historical purchasing and anticipated spend in consideration of recent inflation trends for the following areas of highest interest to the client: automobiles (both new and used) and general consumer goods (e.g., groceries, clothing, and electronics).

Outcome

GLG provided a customized survey and deliverables so the client could draw insights on inflation impacts, including past and future consumer spending in key areas, delivering actionable insight needed to confidently go into the season.
