“We are excited to share the results of our spring 2024 Taking Stock With Teens® survey which offers an in-depth look at how Gen Z is impacting our overall economy through their spending habits. Our survey results indicate a slight increase in teen spending sequentially from fall 2023, but self-reported spend is down 6% year-over-year, well below pre-pandemic levels. We are seeing some significant shifts in brand preferences including the rise of smaller, innovative brands which are taking share from incumbents. We think social media has led to an accelerated trend cycle including an increased emphasis on key products, and brands will have to be nimble to keep up,” said , senior research analyst at ��Թ�.

Clothing and footwear
Nike remains the number one brand for all teens in both apparel and footwear, however Nike is beginning to lose share across categories to players such as On Running, HOKA and New Balance. Lululemon Athletica remains the number two athletic apparel brand among upper-income teens, but we are seeing up and coming players such as Alo Yoga and Vuori start to gain some share.

Beauty
The core beauty wallet reached its highest level since spring 2018 at $339 with growth across all categories. e.l.f. Beauty continues to dominate the space, ranking number one among teens in addition to ranking in the top 10 skincare brands and beauty destinations. Teen beauty consumers continue to prove their preference of in-store shopping versus online with 85% showing a preference for in-store purchases.
