📦 Emerging Trends Shaping Consumer Retail in 2025
In 2025, retail consumers are prioritizing value-driven shopping, demanding flexibility across shopping touchpoints, and gravitating toward unique and engaging retail experiences. These insights come from a new white paper released by Placer.ai titled “3 Consumer Trends to Watch in 2025.”
The report delves into the major shifts influencing consumer behavior this year and offers strategies that leading retail brands are adopting to boost in-store foot traffic.
Key insights from the report include:
– Identification of the consumer demographics fueling the growth of thrift stores and off-price apparel retailers.
– An analysis of how shopper interactions with superstores have evolved over the past five years.
– The rise of a surprising retail category as a popular lunchtime destination.
– A look at which pop culture collaborations in 2024 and early 2025 have successfully driven consumer visits.
– Details on a classic product at the center of a highly effective viral marketing campaign.
To further explore these findings, Placer.ai will host a webinar on May 13 titled “Macroeconomic Retail Trends and Consumer Behavior Impacting CRE.” The discussion, led by Caroline Wu, Director of Research, will examine shifts in consumer behavior during the first quarter of 2025, their effect on both discretionary and non-discretionary categories, and implications for the commercial real estate sector.
The webinar will provide actionable insights for industry professionals looking to adapt to this rapidly evolving retail landscape.
