Across retail, consumer goods and leisure, businesses are heading into a critical period against a backdrop of changing geopolitics, evolving consumer behaviour, rapid technological change, and continued pressure on growth and margins.  

As organisations prepare for the Golden Quarter, key questions are coming into sharper focus. What does the new government mean for the sector? How is the outlook for the sector evolving?  How are consumers feeling and where are they spending?  Join PwC's Consumer Markets Outlook webcast as we explore these questions and the trends shaping the sector in the months ahead.

What we’ll cover

  • How 2026 has shaped up so far for consumer businesses amid a new UK government, a protracted Middle Eastern conflict, and subdued consumer demand.
  • The outlook for the rest of the year with a pivotal Budget, US midterms, and consumer sentiment and inflation both under pressure.
  • Factors that will reshape consumer demand (e.g. GLP-1), and tools that businesses can use to supercharge customer engagement and topline growth, from agentic AI to strategic M&A.

Speakers

  • Jacqueline Windsor, Head of Retail and Strategy& Partner, PwC UK 
  • Lisa Hooker, Retail, Consumer and Leisure Specialist, PwC UK 
  • Kien Tan, Senior Retail Advisor, PwC UK
  • Lord Gavin Barwell, Strategic Advisor and Former Chief of Staff, 10 Downing Street
