GfK Consumer Climate powered by NIM
The GfK Consumer Climate survey, which is being conducted regularly since 1974 and monthly 1980, is regarded as an important indicator of German consumer behavior and a guiding light for Germany's economic development. The Consumer Climate is based on about 2,000 monthly consumer interviews that are conducted on behalf of the European Commission.
Since October 2023, the consumer climate data collected by GfK is being analyzed and published jointly with the Nuremberg Institute for Market Decisions (NIM). By joining forces, it will be possible to invest further in the analysis and development of the Consumer Climate study to gain an even better understanding of the background to changes in consumer confidence.
