U.S. Grocery Consumers’ Confidence is Rebounding
dunnhumby released findings from a year-long worldwide study of the impact of COVID-19 on customer attitudes and behavior across 22 countries. The seventh wave of the dunnhumby Consumer Pulse Survey found that Americans, for the first time since the pandemic began, are beginning to feel noticeably better about personal finances and are now prioritizing value over speed when they shop.

The latest wave found that 58% of U.S. consumers reported that the U.S. economy is weak, a sharp drop of 17% from last March when 75% reported the economy was weak. The study also found that 39% of consumers reported that their finances were poor, a drop of 15% from just November when 54% reported their finances were in bad shape and in the court was in the grips of the third wave of the pandemic. Americans are now at the lowest level of worry about the virus (23%) since the crisis began and have dropped nine percentage points since November on the dunnhumby Worry Index.
