Coronavirus Impact Tracking

The Numerator Reopening Shopping Behavior Index with Early Read data provides you with the fastest, most complete understanding of consumer behavior so you can make more informed real-time decisions about your business. It tracks U.S. consumer buying behavior week-over-week and covers 16 major channels, giving you needed visibility into channel shifting behaviors in our increasingly omnichannel world.

The tracker leverages monthly surveys of verified buyers to provide insights into how and why behaviors are evolving, particularly as it relates in-home and out-of-home consumption.

This index compares repeat purchase behavior of new category buyers during the height of COVID-19 panic buying (March / April 2020) to new buyers in the same period in 2019 to determine which categories in 2020 were more habit-forming in 2020, based on repeat buying behaviors.

With many Quick Serve Restaurants (QSRs) and restaurants closed or limited since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, consumers have had to shift spending to groceries and other at-home meal options. How will various grocery categories be affected as consumers return to restaurants and QSRs?
