Pinterest Search Trends: Gen Z Longs For Post-Pandemic Life

Pinterest search trends show users are planning for life post-pandemic, with the greatest increase in searches coming from Gen Z.

People are eagerly awaiting post-pandemic life, as evidenced by Pinterest search trends, with Gen Z taking the lead for greatest increase in search volume.

Pinterest searches among users in the Gen Z demographic are up 96% year-over-year. In particular, the company reports “skyrocketing” searches for vacations, clothes, and home renovations.

Here’s more about what Gen Z is planning for when life returns to normal. Marketers can use this data to get a head start on creating campaigns that will resonate with this demographic.

Unless otherwise noted, the data compares Q1 2021 search data to Q1 2020.
