The Great Recession was a period of economic contraction which came in the wake of the Global Financial Crisis of 2007-2008. The recession was triggered by the collapse of the U.S. housing market and subsequent bankruptcies among Wall Street financial institutions, the most significant of which being the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in September 2008, the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history. These economic convulsions caused consumer confidence, measured by the Consumer Confidence Index (CCI), to drop sharply in 2007 and the beginning of 2008. How does the Consumer Confidence Index work? The CCI measures household's expectation of their future economic situation and, consequently, their likely future spending and savings decisions. A score of 100 in the index would indicate a neutral economic outlook, with consumers neither being optimistic nor pessimistic about the near future. Scores below 100 are then more pessimistic, while scores above 100 indicate optimism about the economy. Consumer confidence can have a self-fulfilling effect on the economy, as when consumers are pessimistic about the economy, they tend to save and postpone spending, contracting aggregate demand and causing the economy to slow down. Conversely, when consumers are optimistic and willing to spend, this can have a reinforcing effect as wages and employment may rise when consumers spend more. CCI and the Great Recession As the reality of the trouble which the U.S. financial sector was in set in over 2007, consumer confidence dropped sharply from being slightly positive, to being deeply pessimistic by the Summer of 2008. While confidence began to slowly rebound up until September 2008, with the panic caused by Lehman's bankruptcy and the freezing of new credit creation, the CCI plummeted once more, reaching its lowest point during the recession in February 2008. The U.S. government stepped in to prevent the bankruptcy of AIG in 2008, promising to do the same for any future possible failures in the financial system. This 'backstopping' policy, whereby the government assured that the economy would not be allowed to fall further into crisis, along with the Federal Reserve's unconventional monetary policies used to restart the economy, contributed to a rebound in consumer confidence in 2009 and 2010. In spite of this, consumers still remained pessimistic about the economy.

In June 2025, the index for consumer confidence in China ranged at **** points, down from ** points in the previous month. The index dropped considerably in the first half of 2022 and performed a sideways movement during 2023 and 2024. Consumer confidence Index The consumer confidence index (CCI), also called Index of Consumer Sentiment (ICS) is a commonly used indicator to measure the degree of economic optimism among consumers. Based on information about saving and spending activities of consumers, changes in business climate and future spending behavior are being projected. The CCI plays an important role for investors, retailers, and manufacturers in their decision-making processes. However, measurement of consumer confidence varies strongly from country to country. As consumers need time to react to economic changes, the CCI tends to lag behind other indicators like the consumer price index (CPI) and the producer price index (PPI). Development in China As shown by the graph at hand, confidence among Chinese consumers picked up since mid of 2016. In October 2017, the CCI hit a record value of 127.6 index points and entered into a sideward movement. Owing to a relative stability in GDP growth, a low unemployment rate, and a steady development of disposable household income, Chinese consumers gained more confidence in the state of the national economy. Those factors also contribute to the consumers’ spending power, which was reflected by a larger share of consumption in China’s GDP. After the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, consumer confidence dropped quickly in the beginning of 2020, but started to recover in the second half of the year, leading to a v-shaped movement of the index in 2020.

Over the past five years to 2023, the Tourism industry has faced volatile demand amid uneven economic conditions. The major sources of industry revenue include traveler accommodations, transportation, food and beverage services and recreation, entertainment and shopping. These areas are all highly influenced by consumer spending trends. Over most of the past five years, travel spending has increased in line with the overall healthy economy and rising per capita disposable income levels, benefiting tourism providers. However, the spread of COVID-19 in 2020, along with the associated economic downturn, resulted in an unprecedented 50.7% revenue decline in 2020. Overall, revenue has declined at a CAGR of 1.6% to $1.2 trillion over the past five years. This contraction includes an anticipated increase of 4.3% in 2023.The industry was devastated by the spread of the coronavirus in 2020, with both industry revenue and profit declining at unprecedented levels. Industry offerings are substantial and significantly varied, ranging from accommodation services to travel to amusement parks and campsites. However, almost all major industry offerings require some form of in-person interaction. Such activities and services suffered from the greatest setbacks amid pandemic travel restrictions. Many of these participating industries face high fixed costs. Significant revenue shocks have led the average industry profit margin, measured as earnings before interest and taxes, to decline over the past five years, reaching 9.6% of revenue in 2023, down from 14.0% in 2018.Over the next five years to 2028, the industry is anticipated to continue to recover from setbacks incurred amid the coronavirus pandemic. Over the next five years, as consumers across the globe return to work, disposable income levels are forecast to rise, enabling increased spending on tourism. Resulting from better financial security, consumer confidence is anticipated to gradually return, and tourism activity is forecast to rise. Traveling in the United States will become relatively more affordable for international visitors. Revenue is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.6% to $1.4 trillion over the next five years.
