White Paper: Three Trends Drive Consumer Behavior in 2025
In 2025, the retail consumer is motivated by value-driven shopping, demand for flexibility across touchpoints and the power of unique retail moments, Placer.ai says in a new white paper. Titled 3 Consumer Trends to Watch in 2025, the white paper explores key trends shaping consumer behavior this year along with strategies helping top brands drive foot traffic to brick-and-mortar stores.
In the report, you’ll find out:
- Who the shoppers are driving the shift towards thrift stores and off-price apparel retailers
- How consumer interaction with superstores has changed over the past five years
- Which retail category has emerged as a new, hot lunchtime destination
- Which pop culture collaborations drove foot traffic in 2024 and early 2025
- What classic product was the focus of a highly successful viral marketing campaign this year
On May 13, Placer.ai will present a webinar featuring director of research Caroline Wu. Titled “Macroeconomic Retail Trends and Consumer Behavior Impacting CRE,” the discussion will explore how consumer behavior has shifted in the first quarter of 2025, how it impacts non-discretionary and discretionary categories, what might be expected moving forward and how commercial real estate can pivot to address these changes.
