Women are the core mainstay of China's consumer army, with a total female population of 688.44 million in 2023, accounting for 48.76% of the total population. This paper analyzes different age groups, explains the characteristics and influencing factors of female consumers' consumption behavior, and combines practical cases to study women's consumption behavior in different age groups.
