GLOBAL CONSUMER TRENDS

The Economic Crossroads

Across the world, rising costs are causing anxiety and financial struggles for consumers.

The worldwide impact of inflation is affecting their outlook and behavior. More than half of consumers globally are struggling financially because of inflation and the increasing price of fuel, housing and everyday goods. Russia’s war on Ukraine intensifies their concerns around supply-chain disruptions related to the pandemic — almost half say the war has influenced a recent purchasing decision.
