With $42 trillion in wealth at the start of 2025 and a projected $1.4 trillion a year in inherited assets over the next decade, Generation X is a powerhouse consumer segment that retailers can’t afford to overlook. Born between 1965 and 1980, this influential group of prime earners drives spending not only for themselves but also for aging parents and dependent children.  

Drawing on ICSC’s analysis of $5 trillion in U.S. retail spending, this session will explore how Gen X plays a disproportionately powerful role in driving both in store and online growth and how this cohort continues to reshape the marketplaces and spaces where people shop, dine, work, play, and gather.
