All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.
The UK Valentine's Day 2024 report forms part of GlobalData's Retail Occasions series, and offers a comprehensive insight into the consumer dynamics and spending habits of UK consumers for Valentine's Day. The report analyses the major players, the main trends, and consumer attitudes.
The proportion of UK consumers shopping for Valentine’s Day has declined this year, down on 2023. This has largely been driven by a muted interest in spending on retail, with the proportion of consumers spending on retail goods falling to just over 40%. This may be due to Valentine’s Day diminishing in significance, with over two-thirds of consumers agreeing that this occasion is important, up on 2023.
Key Highlights
Shopper penetration, retail penetration and leisure penetration all decreased against 2023.
The proportion of Valentine's Day spending on retail decreased in 2024, as consumers focused on spending time with loved ones.
