EY Future Consumer Index

The EY Future Consumer Index tracks changing consumer sentiment and behaviours across time horizons and global markets, identifying emerging consumer segments and unique perspectives on which changes are temporary reactions to a current disruption and those which point to more fundamental shifts. 


The Future Consumer Index surveys 23,000 consumers across 30 countries providing comparative data from around the globe. Over 230,000 anonymous online unique responses were collected from consumers ranging in age from 18 to 80 since it’s initiation in 2020.
