June 2026: Global consumer confidence shows uptick for second consecutive month
Ipsos’ Global Consumer Confidence Index is up 0.5 point this month and sits at 47.9. The index has increased in back-to-back months and sits in line with its reading from this time last year.
Despite increases the past two months, the index is still two points lower than it was prior to the start of the War in Iran. Sentiment is significantly lower than it was pre-war in 16 countries.
Among 30 economies measured, eight countries show significant gains in consumer sentiment, while five countries show a notable decline. The Current, Investment, and Jobs sub-indices all show increases this month, while the Expectations sub-index is stable.
Based only on the “legacy 20 countries” tracked since March 2010, the Index would read at 46.3, a 0.6-point increase from May.
Sentiment shows an uptick in Europe this month. Spain (+3.1 points), Germany (+2.6 points), Great Britain (+2.4 points), Hungary (+2.4 points), Sweden (+2.4 points), and the Netherlands (+2.2 points) are all up significantly this month.
In contrast, consumer confidence is mixed in Latin America. Colombia (+5.4 points) shows the largest increase among all countries. However, Argentina (-3.4 points) has fallen to its lowest point since November 2023.
The Global Consumer Confidence Index is the average of all surveyed countries’ Overall or “National” indices. This month’s installment is based on a monthly survey of more than 21,000 adults under the age of 75 from 30 countries conducted on Ipsos’ Global Advisor online platform. This survey was fielded between May 22 and June 5, 2026.
Consumer sentiment in 30 countries
Among the 30 countries, India (63.8) holds the highest National Index score. India is the only country this month to hold a National Index score of 60 or higher.
Nine other countries now show a National Index at or above the 50-point mark: Sweden (57.8), Malaysia (56.8), Colombia (54.0), Brazil (53.0), Indonesia (52.9), Thailand (51.9), Mexico (51.7), Singapore (50.5), and Hungary (50.5).
In contrast, four countries now show a National Index below the 40-point mark: France (38.7), Japan (38.5), Argentina (37.4), and Türkiye (35.8).
Of note, Hungary has risen to its highest point since tracking began in March 2010.
Compared to 12 months ago, fourteen countries now show a significant drop in consumer sentiment. In contrast, seven countries show a significant increase from June 2025, most of all in Hungary (+16.9 points).
