The Coresight Research US Consumer Tracker provides a detailed update on US consumers’ behaviors, concerns and expectations, with a focus on the implications for retail. Our latest weekly consumer survey, conducted on August 2, 2021, assessed Amazon Prime membership rates and the reasons consumers do or do not have a subscription. Strikingly, the topmost reason for not having an Amazon Prime membership—mentioned by over one-third of respondents who are not members themselves—is that consumers already have access to Amazon Prime through someone else’s account. These respondents represent a significant potential market for Amazon, but one that it has so far been reluctant to capture.
