WGSN releases flagship forecast: Future Consumer 2025

London, March 30, 2023 - WGSN, the global authority on trend forecasting, today releases an executive summary of its flagship forecast: Future Consumer 2025.

In 2025, we will see seismic shifts across our industries, our communities and our planet. We'll travel to new physical and digital cities, but won't forget the power of local. We'll focus on regenerative finance and business ecosystems, while understanding that growth isn't a dirty word. The Great Restructure is among us.

Amid such shifts, it's crucial for brands to understand the engagement strategies and products that will resonate with tomorrow's consumer. WGSN's flagship forecast, Future Consumer, is read by thousands of industry insiders each year. It identifies the four consumer types who will drive growth in two years' time, so businesses can develop the most successful and relevant products and services for their market.

Carla Buzasi, President & CEO of WGSN, explained:

'We're facing cascading and unprecedented challenges as a planet, so it's never been more important to understand the fears, desires and challenges of consumers and deliver products that will make a real difference to their lives.'
