Which consumer trends are you most familiar with?

Cyclical trends tend to repeat themselves periodically over time. We've seen three decades of economic growth which has meant that consumers spend more each year. However, these cycles are often short-lived. The recession for instance saw a decrease in spending during the last decade.
Secular trends are longer-term changes that happen over a longer period of time. Technology advances like the internet and mobile phone technology are examples. These trends are often driven primarily by changes in lifestyles and tastes, and do not necessarily correspond with economic activity.
The shift towards online shopping is the biggest trend. The shift to online shopping is becoming increasingly popular among consumers. Another trend is eCommerce. eCommerce has been growing significantly faster than traditional retailing in recent times.
Another trend is the rise in social media use. Millions of people use social media worldwide. Social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest, as well as Snapchat, are used widely by consumers to share information, voice opinions and communicate with family and friends.
