Consumer Behavior Research Trends: A Bibliometric Study
摘要
The study aims to perform a bibliometric analysis of consumer behavior in marketing, mapping the academic landscape to identify trends and guide future research that enhances both scholarly and practical applications. The methodology involves a bibliometric review using the Scopus database and VOSviewer software to analyze 1436 publications, focusing on consumer behavior and marketing trends through citation and co-authorship patterns. The analysis reveals a steady increase in consumer behavior research from 2010 to 2024, peaking in 2023 due to heightened digital and e-commerce activities. The United States, India, and the UK are key contributors, emphasizing the need for a global understanding of consumer behavior to develop effective marketing strategies and suggesting the potential for increased international collaboration.
