Introduction

Loyalty isn’t what it used to be. In 2025, even the most iconic brands are seeing loyalty slip through their fingers. Consumers still form strong attachments to the brands they love, but those bonds are more fragile, more fleeting, and more complex to earn than ever before. This year’s data tells a clear story. True Loyalty has declined for the first time in five years, dropping 5% from 2024. In its place, a new type of loyalty is gaining ground: Trend Loyalty—loud, fast, and emotionally charged, but short-lived. TikTok reviews, viral product drops, and fleeting online buzz drive Trend Loyalty. One day, you’re trending. Next, you’re forgotten. So, how do you build True Loyalty that lasts?

Sara Richter, CMO, SAP Emarsys

True Loyalty starts with connection. Consumers expect consistent, personalized, and emotionally resonant experiences across every channel and touchpoint. Today, loyalty is earned when brands use AI to empower personalization at scale. That’s not just the job of marketing. It’s a business- wide challenge that demands a connected customer strategy powered by real-time data from every corner and intelligent engagement.

Key Findings

SAP Emarsys has spent the last five years tracking loyalty and empowering brands to stay ahead. This fifth edition of our Global Customer Loyalty Index uncovers what drives loyalty in 2025: the rise of generational differences, the emotional power of trending content, and the growing importance of relevance over recognition. ” Today, loyalty is increasingly about emotional engagement. You earn it by showing up with the right message at the right time in a way that feels real. ­

The Six Types of Customer Loyalty

5 | 52

Since 2020, SAP Emarsys has mapped consumers across five types of customer loyalty. In 2025, we’ve identified a new sixth type: Trend Loyalty. The Six Types of Customer Loyalty

True Loyalty This loyalty type is unwavering, unshake- able, and built on trust, love, and devotion to a brand—it is also known as the holy grail of customer loyalty. All brands aspire to achieve this level of loyalty. Incentivized Loyalty This type of loyalty is developed by offering customers cost-saving or value-adding incentives like discounts or rewards. Inherited Loyalty This loyalty is based on a brand’s tradi- tions or long-standing heritage, or can be built through associations with other brands.

Silent Loyalty This type of loyalty occurs when customers demonstrate loyalty to a brand they would not endorse or advocate for publicly.

Ethical Loyalty This loyalty occurs when a customer is loyal to a brand that aligns with their individual values or stance on strong social issues. Trend Loyalty (NEW) This type of loyalty is short-lived, opportunistic, and caused by social influence, viral appeal, or cultural momentum.

Loyalty Trends in the Last Five Years

In 2025, loyalty to known brands is in decline. True Loyalty dropped by 5% from 2024 to 2025, the most significant drop since we started the Customer Loyalty Index (CLI). So, why are marketers losing their grip on the holy grail of loyalty? Let’s dive deeper. Loyalty isn't just a goal; it's the heartbeat of every thriving company. As customer expectations soar, businesses stand on the precipice of a transformative opportunity to elevate customer experience and unleash the true power of loyalty. Marketers who achieve faithful customers see loyalty as a strategy, not just a rewards program. Loyalty must be continuously earned through meaningful engagement and personalization. AI can empower marketers to do so.

Step Into the Engagement Era: Where Loyalty Is Earned, Not Assumed

In 2025, SAP Emarsys declared the dawn of the Engagement Era: a time when customer loyalty is no longer a given, but a reward for brands that truly understand, respect, and respond to individual needs. Gone are the days when brand names alone could command consumer trust. In fact, 64% of consumers ignore brand names entirely when buying consumer products.

2025 Loyalty Levels

In 2025, 68% of consumers said they were loyal to specific brands, shifting to levels seen in 2021. Economic uncertainty, rising prices, supply chain issues, social media trends, and a flood of choices influence customers to switch brands if their expectations aren’t met, highlighting the extreme fragility of customer loyalty. Brands today must double down on consistency, connection, and personalization to keep customers coming back for more. Exceptional experiences ignite a cycle of repeated purchases, transform customers into passionate advocates, and foster stronger and more strategic partnerships.

Loyalty Levels Across Regions While some regions are experiencing flat growth, customer loyalty in the U.S. and Germany has risen since 2024. For market- ers in the U.S., this is likely due to staying ahead of customer expectations when tariff fears and concerns arose. Other con- tributing factors could be increased reward programs, creating more competition. Discounts are often short-lived. That’s why innovative marketers use omnichannel marketing strategies to offer customers the best deal on product recommendations to keep customers loyal. See the map on page 11.

What drives Gen Z Loyalty? No generation shows shifting loyalty patterns more clearly than Gen Z. This generation expects more than reward points or emails. They want personal relevance, real-time experiences, and emotional connection, and they expect brands to show up where they are: on TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram—all via an app on their phone. Compared to older generations, Gen Zers are less influenced by price or product quality, and more by personalization, values, and emotional cues. In 2025, Gen Z loyalty is real, but only if you earn it. That means being relevant, fast, and emotionally intelligent across every touchpoint.

70% of Gen Z say they’re loyal to a brand they love and trust.

21% buy more expensive products to show brand loyalty.

39% have switched brands over poor sustainability practices.

The Fierce Few While we have identified Brand Believers as part of our research, they are an exception to the rule in today’s fragmented loyalty landscape. These customers will stick with you through price changes, trends, and experimentation with new products. Here are some extreme and unusual examples:

“I drank Dr. Pepper for 3 months straight, every day, for a dare.”

“I have eaten a Big Mac every day for 20 years.”

“I named my pet bird Coco after Coco Chanel.”

“I have a Sony-authorized tattoo. It's a screen- accurate copy of Ray Stantz's tattoo as seen in Ghostbusters Afterlife. Sony paid for me to get it and used footage in a promotional ad for the home release of Ghostbusters Afterlife on DVD and Blu Ray.”

“I cycled three hours to buy a specific guitar when no one else had one in stock since 1967.”

“Once, I camped out overnight just to grab a pair of limited-edition Nike sneakers. It was totally wild, but being first in line for a brand I genuinely love made every minute worth it. It wasn’t just about the shoes; it was about sharing that excitement with fellow Nike fans who get the hype.”

Conclusion

Loyalty in the Engagement Era

Loyalty has never mattered more. True Loyalty is declining and harder to earn. Customers are still loyal, but only to brands that make them feel understood. Trend Loyalty is rising and fueled by emotion, speed, and social influence. Inherited Loyalty no longer holds as expectations have changed. What is driving these changes? A growing personalization gap. This isn’t a messaging issue. It’s a data and execution challenge. To close that gap, brands need more than campaigns. SAP Emarsys empowers brands to turn insight into action by using real-time customer data, predictive AI, and omnichannel customer engagement to close the personalization gap and earn lasting loyalty. In today’s Engagement Era, loyalty must be earned with relevance, consistency, and care. Every interaction with your customers is a catalyst for inspiration, driving innovation and forging bonds that transcend transactions.
