Two in three consumers globally are using ChatGPT to search for products, according to Euromonitor International's Voice of the Consumer: Digital Shopper Survey, fielded March 2026. Unlike traditional search, where shoppers navigate pages of results, AI assistants narrow the consideration set to a smaller selection of products. Understanding how a brand enters and exits a recommendation is therefore becoming a crucial new dimension of digital visibility. To explore this, Euromonitor tested 1,000 shopper-style scalp care prompts across ChatGPT and Gemini in the UK and US, varying persona, tone, and writing style. Every response was coded for the brands mentioned, the language used to describe them, and the sources cited.
