According to the study, climate change and the rising cost of living will affect consumer behavior in the future. Consumers will use digital services to control food, energy and travel costs.
A reliable Internet connection will become more important as extreme weather events increase. Schedules can become more flexible as climate regulations and energy efficiency change.
AI will be used to protect consumers in unpredictable weather. Corporate carbon footprint restrictions and digitization will shape the work routine. Smart water services will be used to conserve and reuse water.
Digital energy exchange services can mitigate rising energy costs, and energy can become a currency.
Meanwhile, digital replacements can become status markers, and the dematerialization of consumption habits will accelerate. In urban areas, nature without travel can become standard. 10) Consumers will find ways to circumvent stricter environmental restrictions through online hacking apps.
