Sweden: Consumer Profile

October 2026

Population growth fell to its lowest level since 2000 as immigration eases and fertility stays below replacement, while an ageing society sustains a single dominant household form: the person living alone. Incomes are high and set to rise faster than the regional average, yet several difficult years have left households saving rather than spending and trading towards discounters and private label. Sustainability, quality and durability, also shape how Swedes choose what to buy.
