This constitutes the second-highest participation rate within the last eight years. In 2020, the share of Americans who participated in Halloween activities fell significantly, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The tradition of Halloween, which is celebrated on October 31st in the U.S., includes a variety of activities, such as trick-or-treating, attending costume parties, or carving pumpkins. On average, the expenditure on Halloween-related items among U.S. consumers amounts to about *** U.S. dollars annually. The average Halloween expenditure has more than doubled since 2005. Many consumers planned to do their Halloween shopping in advance. About a ***** of U.S. consumers intended to buy Halloween candy between four and seven days before the event. Furthermore, a quarter of consumers even intended to purchase candy between eight and 14 days in advance. Halloween-costumes Due to the increases in inflation in 2022, consumers have generally tried to cut back. As a result, slightly less than ********* of American consumers planned to decrease their spending Halloween costumes to deal with the inflation. Nonetheless, in 2023, a total of *** billion U.S. dollars was spent on spooky outfits and costumes by U.S. consumers for the Halloween season. Costume purchases make up the largest spending category during the Halloween season, as compared to decorations, candy, and greeting cards. The leading destination for Halloween costume shopping in the U.S. is Amazon. About ** percent of U.S. consumers purchased their costumes through the online retailer.

CANDY HIERARCHY 2017 SURVEY (~10 minutes) This is the official survey form for the 2017 Candy Hierarchy. All data collected is anonymous and will be shared with the public as a raw spreadsheet (xml) file. This data is not intended for research purposes, but rather for the writing of a satirical/humour creative nonfiction science piece to be published at BoingBoing. Note that although unlikely (especially given the nature of the questions), there is always the possibility of someone being able to identify you based on your responses as a result, please feel free to skip questions as you see fit. Note that although the survey will remain open until Halloween, we will likely only use the data collected up to noon (PST) of October 25th, 2017 for our formal publication of analysis at BoingBoing.

This statistic shows the total expenditure on jack-o-lanterns during the Halloween season in the United States from 2017 to 2023. In 2023, the expenditure on jack-o-lanterns in the U.S. amounted to nearly *** million U.S. dollars during the Halloween season.

No Halloween celebration is complete without Halloween costumes. In 2017, consumers in the United States spent around 1.68 billion U.S. dollars on adult Halloween costumes, up from 1.54 billion U.S. dollars in the previous year.

Halloween Expenditure in the U.S. In the United States, Halloween is a great excuse to dress up in costumes, eat candy, and watch scary movies. It is estimated that consumers in the United States planned to spend around nine billion U.S. dollars on Halloween in 2018. However, this is a relatively small figure compared to other seasonal events such as the winter holidays or the back-to-school season. Halloween costumes make up the largest part of Halloween expenditures in the U.S., followed by decorations and candy.

Trick or Treating in the U.S. For children and teenagers in the United States, going trick-or-treating is probably the most highly anticipated Halloween activity. Around half of American adults planned to hand out candy to trick-or-treaters on Halloween, while 15 percent are undecided, according to 2017 survey results. The most popular type of candy to hand out to trick-or-treaters in the U.S. was chocolate bars, followed by soft or chewy candy.

This statistic shows the consumer spending on Halloween by product category in the United Kingdom (UK) from 2014 to 2016, with a forecast estimate for 2017. In each year during this period, spending on Halloween clothing was the highest across the various categories, at an estimated 166 million British pounds in 2017. In comparison, food spending was estimated at 140 million pounds that same year, while spending on decorations and entertainment was forecast to reach 99 million pounds and 76 million pounds, respectively.
