The latest Thomson Reuters IPSOS Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI) has revealed a downturn in consumer confidence in the United Kingdom as the index dropped to 46.1 in November 2025. This marks a notable decrease from the previous month's level of 48.3, indicating a surge of economic apprehension among UK consumers.
The data, published on November 13, 2025, underscores growing concerns about the economic landscape, potentially driven by inflationary pressures or uncertainties in the global market. This decreasing trend in consumer sentiment reflects a shift in the consumer mindset, where caution seems to overshadow optimism as the holiday shopping season approaches.
Analysts and policymakers alike will be eyeing these sentiment levels closely, as they could signal forthcoming changes in consumer behavior affecting economic growth. Such insights are vital as the UK navigates its post-pandemic recovery phase, looking to bolster consumer confidence to maintain economic momentum.
