Definition of consumer group
Gen Z is set to be the most financially powerful generation in the coming years. Having not yet reached adulthood, Gen Z accounts for $830 billion per year in the U.S., covering 6.8% of total U.S. consumer spending each year. Currently, the average weekly allowance is estimated to be $16.90 in the U.S., which gives teens and children direct purchasing power of $44 billion a year. As Gen Z grows to make up 40% of all U.S. consumers, they will become a massive economic force.
Overall, Gen Z is optimistic about diversity in regards to gender, race, and sexuality.

Further, just over 33% of children are projected to be non-Hispanic white by 2060. This growth is reflected in racial composition trends today and in the recent past.
