United Kingdom: Consumer Profile

October 2024

Despite lower birth rates, the UK's population is expected to grow by 2.8 million by 2040, fuelled by high immigration from non-EU countries. Single-person households are set to dominate, spending more on necessities due to reliance on a single income. Income inequality is poised to widen, creating a polarised market with significant regional disparities. However, as one of the most developed countries, the UK’s luxury spending potential is set to remain strong, particularly among older cohorts.
