Generation Z (Gen Z), who was born between the mid-1990s and early 2010s, has been called the
most critical consumer group until now and has a different view of shopping and consumption than
previous generations. They are the latest to enter the workforce and have a strong purchasing power.
With their bigger demand for higher-quality items and monitoring their spending more closely, brands
have to earn their place in Gen Z’s wallets.
Gen Z cares a lot about the planet and the future, which is a huge opportunity for sustainable
business growth. They believe that the generations before them represented overconsumption,
capitalism, and materialism. This generation is known for its tech-savviness, entrepreneurial spirit, and
strong desire for authenticity and personalization. Gen Z is a socially and environmentally conscious
group. Therefore, Gen Z consumers are more likely to buy sustainable and high-quality products.
Generation Z uses social media to seek inspiration, research products and connect with their
favourite brands. On TikTok, Instagram, or YouTube, because influencers make a large part of the
purchasing decision, brands’ e-commerce is going from traditional digital marketing to influencer
marketing.
Moreover, many Gen Z-ers grew up watching their parents take huge financial hits and struggle
during the Great Recession of 2008. Because of this, they are more economical and price-sensitive. 19%
