The Future Shopper 2024 has landed
Our biggest report yet explores the evolving shopper landscape globally and new opportunities for brands to drive long-term success
Download your copy of The Future Shopper 2024 report – an unparalleled global survey of the trends and technology driving the future of shopping:
In this year's Future Shopper report from VML – our 8th annual edition – more than 31,000 shoppers across 20 countries have spoken.
The Future Shopper 2024 report provides a clear view into the online shopping trends of shoppers today and in the future, including why spending habits are changing and what to expect as we shift towards a world where physical and digital merge.
Amidst economic, societal, tech and environmental challenges, we witness a re-normalization as consumers welcome physical shopping experiences, at the same time placing a higher value on compressed commerce and accelerated customer journeys. Marketplaces maintain their dominance but with a weakening grip, and attrition threatens to derail the progress of D2C channels
In VML's Future Shopper 2024 report, get our expert analysis on:
Changing Behaviors
Consumers are more focused on their health – impacting what they buy and whom they buy from.
Working From Home
More consumers are shopping online and admit their favorite retailers have changed since working from home.
Customer Journeys
Although consumers demand omnichannel experiences, many are “uni-channel” and tend to use only one device.
Journeys by Industry
How one product is bought differs from another and we explore inspiration, search and purchase across industries.
Online Purchasing
Consumers are driven by price, which is indexing higher this year amidst inflationary and economic pressures.
Customer Experiences
We investigate experiences that online consumers expect and what drives their buying behavior.
Marketplaces
Consumers like shopping at branded marketplaces but will use other channels when they fall short.
Artificial Intelligence
Most consumers are open to AI helping them shop, with some letting AI decide their activities and what they buy.
Sustainability
More than half of global consumers surveyed say they've changed their shopping habits due to environmental concerns.
Social Commerce & Media
Social platforms are set to take advantage of the explosion of social commerce, predicted to grow almost 32% by 2030.
Gaming Commerce
Global gaming is expected to reach a massive $1065 billion by 2032, becoming more than just games but a place to shop.
New Channels & Technology
If a brand is digitally innovative, a majority of consumers are more likely to purchase from them.
What’s clear is that consumers expect and demand a lot from retailers and brands.
They want it all, and will search to find it, across a multitude of channels. This poses a challenge, albeit an exciting one, to see which brands and retailers can give consumers what they want. This report is written to help you do just that. Enjoy.
