generation z has high spending power and makes up a quarter of the UK population (www.campaignlive.co.uk), while it will constitute 40% of all U.S. consumers by 2020 (Empson, 2016).
Generation Z are young adults who were born in 1995 or later (Bassiouni and Hackley, 2014, Fister-Gale, 2015) and are highly educated, technologically savvy, innovative and creative (www.ey.com).
It is the first generation born into a digital world that lives online and virtually integrates and engages with its favourite brands (Bernstein, 2015).
Generation Z is a challenge, since it appears that they behave differently to earlier generations and this behavior can lead to changes in consumer behavior (Schlossberg, 2016). They have higher expectations, no brand loyalty and care more about the experience (Schlossberg, 2016).
generation Z is a young, technology-oriented group in retailing, since they use their smartphones and other technologies very extensively for shopping (IPSOS, 2014; Bernstein, 2015).

Here are some ways that American Gen Zers are different from their millennial counterparts:
They like brick-and-mortar stores: in a sense, members of Generation Z are always shopping, because they are always connected. They buy on any device and in any format or channel. At the same time, they are surprisingly old school. They are much more likely to shop in physical stores than are millennials, who were the first generation to grow up with online shopping and who are more likely to shop that way.
Gen Zers want to stand out, not fit in, so brands are not as important to them. Rather, they are looking for the next unique product.
Gen Zers care about experiences, but to them it is more important to spend on those that enrich their everyday lives, such as hobbies and home entertainment. Millennials are more likely to splurge on things like travel and luxury hotels.
Almost 40 percent of adult Gen Zers (age 18 to 23) say their purchasing decisions are most influenced by social media (exhibit). For millennials, not so much... https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/retail/our-insights/the-young-and-the-restless-generation-z-in-america
Brand-conscious followers, who represent about a quarter of Gen Zers surveyed, keep a close eye on trends and then buy (usually online) the brands that are trending. They like to mix and match to create a personal style and tend not to be loyal to particular brands.
Premium shopaholics are spontaneous. They love to shop, and they enjoy every part the process—researching, comparing, touching, visiting, and clicking. They are brand loyal and trade up to pricier brands when they can afford to do so.
Ethical “confidents” visit physical stores more than the other segments do. They like brands that speak to their values, and they don’t care as much about trends or prestige. They prefer brands that they perceive as environmentally responsible and socially ethical.
To reach this rising generation, businesses need to understand it. Well informed and accustomed to a fast pace of change, Gen Zers won’t make that easy... https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/retail/our-insights/asias-generation-z-comes-of-age

Several generational changes have already taken place in the last few decades. From the mid-twentieth century, new technologies developed that changed the daily functioning of people. The development of computer science and the third technological revolution in the 1960s - 90s caused major changes in the development of communications, media, industry and services. The current fourth technological revolution, determined by the development and implementation of ICT, Internet and Industry 4.0 information technologies to various spheres of human activity, causes further major changes in our daily functioning. The development of these technologies will greatly influence the people of Generation Z.
As technological progress is carried out very quickly, the life cycles of technologies, products, branches and sectors of the economy are shortening, so the successive generations of successive generations are also getting shorter and faster. Generation Z, also referred to as the social Z generation, Post-Millennials, Internet generation, Generation C [1] is a generation of people born in the second half of the 90s and immediately after 2000, only entering the labor market. This is the generation of people born around 2000, at the turn of the 20th / 21st centuries. Currently, i.e. in 2021, people of this generation have already completed or are leaving their education, are entering the labor market or have been working for several years. People of Gen Z already used the Internet and ICT in their education.
There is no full agreement on the scope of the birth years of this generation. According to some researchers of this issue, generation Z is a generation born from the mid-1990s. Generation Z is also called "multitasking generation", "silent generation", "generation @", "Generation V", "Generation C". These are people of the youngest generation for whom technology is the main tool to expand their knowledge. Generation Z people are usually very well versed in the use of technological novelties in the field of communication and IT applications of ICT and Internet technologies. People of Generation Z use the Internet in various areas of their daily functioning.
For people of the Z Internet generation, including the new Internet media, social networks are the main source of information and the main medium of communication with friends, including family members. The SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) coronavirus pandemic has increased the use of new online media, including social media portals, for communication and data acquisition. People of Generation Z use new Internet media and social networks to communicate with their peers from class, school or university. Since currently (February 2021) education processes are still implemented in many countries in e-learning, people of generation Z use new Internet media, social networks as part of communication for solving tasks, doing homework in a team, in a group and in searching for data homework assignments and homework.
People of Generation Z use new Internet media, including social media portals, i.e. Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, Tweeter, Pinterest and others, both to communicate with friends, obtain data and search for information for homework as part of remote education, but also in many other applications. People of Generation Z use new Internet media, including social media portals, also to promote themselves, their image on the Internet, to search for offers of products and services to buy, to make purchases via the Internet, etc. People from Generation Z buy various products and services mainly Internet.
