It is peak shopping season, and retailers are at the ready. What can they expect this year? And what are the trends from country to country? This year's holiday survey asked questions of consumers in 18 countries—the most ever in the history of the study—to find out how much they would spend and to gauge their confidence in their respective economies.

This year's survey results discuss:

• Which economic issues are having the most impact on consumers
• The likely impact of mobile technologies on shoppers
• Shopper concern about imports
• To what extent environmental concerns are affecting buying patterns
• Countries with the biggest spenders—and what their customers are buying
