Jungle Scout consumer trends report in quarter 1 of 2022

The Consumer Trends Report from Jungle Scout is quarterly research of 1,000 U.S. consumers that looks at how purchasing habits and preferences vary over time.

As a result of current events, they discovered that people begin to cut back on their spending when inflation rises. Rising inflation has influenced 72 percent of consumers’ consumer expenditure, and 70 percent are making less “fun” or impulse purchases.

Now, people buy more necessities like groceries, vitamins, and cleaning supplies than electronics and clothing. Additionally, it was also found that consumers have designated different shops for different products. 

They go to Amazon for products categories belonging to  Arts, Crafts & Sewing, Automotive Parts & Accessories, Books, Electronics, Exercise/Fitness Supplies, and Office Supplies. On the other hand, consumers prefer Walmart.com for essential products.

Even though total consumer expenditure is predicted to fall or remain stable this quarter, 11% of consumers are expected to increase their spending. They’ll spend more on luxury items to treat themselves, celebrate an occasion, a gift, or after a pay raise. 

Brand loyalty and online purchases are fueled by pricing and coupons. Consumers want to remain in and spend on the house and self-care in 2022. Thus home renovation and the homebody economy will continue.

Takeaway: Amazon Sellers need to look out on trends and demands on these products and use it on their advantage. With the increased competition, it is important to stay ahead and utilize all availbale information on consumer behavior and spending. In addition, with the ongoing supply chain disruptions in China having this data on hand will allow you to plan ahead shipping and manufacturing to avoid losses due to delays.

Walmart Fulfillment Services Offers Incentives for New Sellers, Trust, and Transparency for All

Walmart has launched its Walmart Fulfillment Services (WFS), a low-cost fulfillment solution. Walmart has seen tremendous growth in the past two years, with U.S. GMV fulfilled by WFS growing 500% last year. 

What the team started from the ground up has developed into a thriving business with vendors worldwide. The firm wants to work with its merchants to establish trust and openness. It also paves the way for an understandable and straightforward fee structure. 

Their second anniversary also coincides with the launch of new growth possibilities for new WFS sellers that join up and inbound at least one item between February 21 and April 30, 2022. For the first 90 days, sellers get free storage and 10% off fulfillment.

If a client has a problem with an item, they can contact Walmart Customer Service or return it to their local Walmart store, which has over 4,700 locations in the United States. WFS makes it easier for your customers to have a better experience, increasing their likelihood of returning.

Takeaway: Walmart is consistently working towards growing their online marketplaces. I wouldn’t be surprised if in the next few years, competition between them and Amazon would be as close as a thread. So, leveraging now in Walmart can be a great move for many Amazon sellers wanting to scale.
