41、ude the need to reprioritize spending.Consumers indicate that this trade-off scenario may be felt most keenly in non-food retail.Globally,for those spending less on non-food retail in 2025,after“having less money to spend than before”(37%of responses),“prioritizing spending in other areas”was the se
42、cond most common reason(28%of responses).For younger consumers(18-24),high-income consumers,and those in China,prioritizing other areas is the top reason for reduced non-food retail spend,surpassing income constraints with 32%,38%,and 33%of responses,respectively.4.Not seeing enough value for the co
43、stAs consumers reprioritize spending,perceived value becomes critical.Consumers are most sensitive to perceived value in leisure activities:15%of responses for those reducing spend in dining out cited insufficient value,followed by entertainment(13%),and travel and holidays(13%).3.The availability o
44、f media options at home Globally,the most common reason for consumers spending less on entertainment outside of the home was having less money to spend(36%of responses),followed by“I can watch movies,sport matches,etc.at home”(22%of responses).Furthermore,“at-home entertainment”was the top reason pr

82、gaining market share are the value players and the discounters,with a similar picture in the Middle East.In the latter region,consumers may well display propensity to spend more across all categories,yet it is the emergence of discounters that is disrupting this market and giving other retail player
83、s cause for concern.Specific responses will vary by retailer,but a consistent mantra must be to stay true to a brands value proposition,pricing,and assortment.While entry price ranges may be appropriate in certain product areas,care must be taken not to overweight this activity and compromise on ove
84、rall range.For high-end retailers,meanwhile,the focus should be centered more on experience and convenience.Retailers must truly understand their customer segments and what value means to them,alongside their relative buying power by demographic group.They must organize their operating model around

90、nditions point towards further price increases,the first consideration must be how much of that you can take on yourself before passing on to the consumer.Staffing levels,viable days and hours of trading,and possibly landlord rental agreements,for example,should all be scrutinized to control overhea
