WORTHINGTON, OH, UNITED STATES, June 16, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Consumer sentiment in the U.S. continues its steady rebound, according to new data released today by Prosper Insights & Analytics. The firm’s June report, based on a monthly survey of more than 7,800 adults aged 18 and older, signals a cautiously resilient consumer outlook with key forward-looking indicators showing meaningful improvement.

Unlike delayed and retrospective economic data, Prosper’s Consumer Intentions & Actions survey provides a pulse on where consumer behavior is heading. In June, consumer confidence rose to 40.1%, while the Consumer Mood Index at 100.6 increased over last year's reading of 97.2. Consumers are increasingly comfortable spending on discretionary categories, with strategic prioritization toward value-driven memberships, home investment, and selective travel.

"Consumers are demonstrating disciplined optimism,” said Phil Rist, EVP of Strategy at Prosper Insights & Analytics. "They’re spending where it matters most, locking in value through services like Walmart+, and adjusting household budgets with an eye toward long-term stability. These signals matter — they tell us not just how consumers feel, but what they’re planning next."

Key June 2025 Findings Include:
• Consumer Confidence: 40.1% (up from 39.0% in May and 38.6% YoY)
• Walmart+ Membership: 22.7% (up 16% YoY) vs. Amazon Prime: 59.1% (stable YoY)
• Composite Spending Score: 81.14, up MoM, signals resilience in spending plans
• Home Improvement Spending: Strong at 75.37, supporting 'nesting' trend
• 10.2% of adults report no noticeable price hikes — a positive sign for inflation perception.

Major Purchase Intent Highlights:
• Vacation Travel: Interest softens to 18.9% in June (down from May’s 20.9%), though domestic travel remains popular at 68.0%
• Home Buying Plans: Steady at 5.1%, reflecting affordability constraints yet consistent intent
• Auto Purchase Outlook: 16.5% in June (down from May’s 17.2%), are on par with last year, indicating continued demand despite economic uncertainty.

These forward-looking consumer data points provide actionable insight for sectors including retail, finance, real estate, and travel, equipping decision-makers with a real-time advantage in understanding evolving household priorities.
