The Millennial generation — also known as Gen Y, Digital Natives, or Echo Boomers — has been blamed for the demise of many industries in the last decade. But they’ve had an incredibly valid reason for not keeping these industries afloat: They can’t afford it.

It’s exciting to see Gen Z emerge as buyers in the home market. We are just beginning to shape a deep, research-based understanding of Gen Z as consumers, and at CGK, we are eagerly researching Gen Z to see what kind of impact this up-and-coming generation will make on our world.
