To support the retail industry through COVID-19, First Insight has been tracking consumer purchase behavior and spending within retail since February 2020. First Insight is committed to customer understanding and offers customer-driven predictive analytics solutions for today’s toughest business challenges. As inflation and supply chain disruptions continue and demand outpaces supply, retailers and brands are turning to First Insight for decision support in identifying substitute products and optimizing pricing based on real-time consumer price elasticity data.
First Insight’s longitudinal study of more than 11,000 respondents is the only one of its kind. It started at the very beginning of the pandemic—February, 2020—with data collected through August, 2021, as COVID-19 cases continue to rise due to the delta variant. These studies have measured consumer sentiment around shopping in-person and online, safety precautions in-store, spending on big-ticket items, traveling, and other consumer behaviors. This infographic shows in detail how various external events directly affected the American public’s overall likelihood and interest in returning to normal day-to-day activities, as well as the impact of the pandemic on retail.
