December Consumer Spending Report
A Strong December in U.S. Consumer Spending Brings Further Cheer

Last month we reported strong U.S. consumer spending for the holiday season, and our latest ChangeWave survey shows the momentum continuing – with another uptick for December.

The December 1-22 survey of 1,908 consumers shows a further spending increase for electronics, boosting Amazon to a new high in the home entertainment market. Most other major retailers remain steady.

After a big improvement last month, expectations and confidence are trending slightly lower but remain at relatively high levels. ChangeWave Research is a service of 451 Research.
