The Coresight Research US Consumer Tracker provides a detailed update on US consumers’ behaviors, concerns and expectations, with a focus on the implications for retail. Our latest weekly consumer survey, undertaken on February 7, 2022, found that avoidance of public places is down 26 percentage points (PPTs) compared to a year ago, with a significant week-over-week decline of 5 PPTs. Avoidance is still higher than the 2021 summer low, but as consumers start to feel more confident re-entering public places and as indoor mask mandates are lifted in some states, we will monitor the overall avoidance rate to see if it moderates at a new, lower level.
