come in Tuesday , February 14th , 2023 Valentine ’s twenty-four hours will be celebrated and Prince & Prince , Inc. ( P&P ) , one of the leadership in market place research focused on the floral and green plant industry , has released a projection for the issue of U.S. households that will make flowered leverage for Valentine ’s mean solar day 2023 , and an estimate of the retail note value of those amatory flowered purchases .
" On this mean solar day , nearly 54 million U.S. households ( 53.6 million ) will have made one or more overbold flowered purchases to celebrate Valentine ’s Day with pregnant people in their life , in or out of the household . The P&P U.S. household aggregate spending jut on all floral products for Valentine ’s Day 2023 is over $ 3.6 billion buck at retail ( $ 3.62 billion ) . This economic value includes all impudent flowered products , including fresh cut heyday ( largely roses ) , arrangement , bouquets , cluster , single stem , and posy , and also indoor potted florescence and foliage industrial plant & planter , and any consort delivery/ servicing fee . "
Special Note : This Prince & Prince ( P&P ) floral market report utilizes the later U.S. householdprojections from the Joint Center for Housing Studies ( JCHS ) at Harvard University . JCHSutilizes Census information and makes periodic fitting for factor that affect household formation(McCue , 2023 )
This picture market economic value for Valentine ’s Day 2023 is higher than any former Valentine ’s Day market jutting by P&P , they account . " This is largely due to lately revised U.S. family estimate by the Joint Center for Housing Studies ( JCHS ) at Harvard University ( McCue , 2023 ) , a relatively high incidence of leverage projection for Valentine ’s Day , and generally higher prices due to late inflationary pressure . " Over the retiring few years , there has been a surge in the emergence of menage in the U.S. push by a keen turnaround in growth among untried households ( See Figure 1 ) . " Prior JCHS projection ( 2011 to 2016 ) had home ontogeny pegged at around 1.2 million additional menage p.a. . Now , the latest update ( 2016 to 2021 ) peg that annual growth charge per unit at around 2.2 million households , an extra one-year ontogeny of 1 million menage , largely among those under the age of 45 . And since flowered - buying family under the age of 45 have a more or less higher " relative incidence of Floral Purchase " for Valentine ’s Day equate to older - aged households ( 53 % vs. 47 % ; Prince & Prince , 2020 ) , the floral market value projection for Valentine ’s Day expand well . The growth effect is synergistic , as the consumer section that is expanding also has a higher predilection for purchase floral for Valentine ’s Day . "

According to P&P food market survey estimate , Valentine ’s Day is still the second largest " flowered holiday " for the U.S. floral industry , in terms of consumer dollar spending on flowered intersection , with floral spending 2d only to Mother ’s Day . P&P ’s 2022 Mother ’s Day floral market sound projection was over $ 5 billion ( Prince & Prince , 2022 ) . P&P also project that each floral - purchasing household , on average , will spend about $ 67 on floral products for Valentine ’s Day 2023 , including all household member that make a flowered purchase , with associated delivery/ service fees include .
A pending recession in the U.S. thriftiness was not factored into their Valentine ’s Day prognosis for 2023 . " Although many economists and banking concern chief operating officer ( e.g. Jamie Dimon and others ) have been " wring their hands " in desperation as they prognosticate an upcoming bad receding ( claims since the Fall of 2022 ) , we at P&P think that if a recession does occur in 2023 , it will be later , and mild , if at all in 2023 . These doomsayers fail to interpret the data trends right before their heart ; hang pompousness , downcast unemployment , somewhat high wages , and , as this article is written , breaking news reports that the U.S. economy added 517,000 raw job in January 2023 , almost triple marketplace expectations ! One does not get that size of it of business growth just prior to a recess . At P&P , we ignore the " market place noise " and stand behind our somewhat bullish Valentine ’s Day floral market ejection . "
