Consumer Trends: 2025 Mid-Year Report

Hi, it’s Dan Frommer. Artificial intelligence is huge, and polarizing. How are consumers using AI — and thinking about it — right now?

I’m excited to share a new Consumer Trends Report report, my latest collaboration with Coefficient Capital.

• A 125-slide presentation exploring the new consumer economy.
• Topics include: How Gen. Z really feels about AI. What consumers will (and won’t) pay to live longer. Pets are family — and a growth market. And how podcasts are winning, as consumers trust the news less.
• Results from our new Consumer Trends survey of more than 3,000 US consumers, in partnership with Toluna.

Or even better: Sign up for The New Consumer membership — I’ll be going deeper on many of these trends in my member-exclusive newsletter, in addition to the usual reporting, analysis, interviews, and commentary. Thanks in advance for your support!
