Culture Shapes Consumers: The Key Consumer Behaviors To Track In 2025 And Beyond
Consumers are more alike than not. But if it’s that simple, then what influences consumer behavior? One simple thing: culture. Rather than waiting to see how consumers behave, brands can predict what will happen by understanding the macroeconomic factors that are driving consumer behavior. So, let’s look at a crystal ball together and find out:
- The key consumer behaviors to look for in the next year
- How cultural factors influence them
- What this means to marketers
AUDREY CHEE-READ
Principal analyst at Forrester
Audrey concentrates on consumer behavior through the lens of B2C CMO priorities. Her focus is centered around bringing the voice of the customer into every room through a deep understanding of consumer behaviors and trends and how they inform brand strategies.
