According to a report recently, there are approximately 25.6 million teens in the U．S. market and the amount of money they have to spend every year continues to grow. It is estimated that teens have an average annual income of anywhere from $2,000 to $4,000. Even though teens might not spend every dollar that they receive from jobs, allowances, or from their parents, the amount of money they have to spend is significant. It is estimated that in 2014 teens will spend more than 260 billion dollars.

A 2012 study done by Seventeen magazine revealed some facts about how teens spend their money. Here are some of the findings：

Teens want actual items. Most teens would rather have an actual item, such as new clothes, rather than something that they can't put their hands on. According to the study, 75 percent would rather have a new pair of shoes than 50 new MP3 downloads, and 63 percent would choose a new pair of jeans over tickets to a concert.

Teens are savvy shoppers. Teens are skeptical and don't buy into the usual marketing messages. While they want the latest and greatest items, they are also willing to wait. Approximately 55 percent of teens wait for items to go on sale, and 50 percent of teens make fewer impulse purchases. Another 42 percent are more willing to comparison shop for the best price.

Teens love to shop. Teens have big purchasing power in a household. Their willingness to spend money and obtain the latest items makes them one of the largest spending demographics of consumer goods.
