Continuing the trend seen over the past 3 years, men are set to spend more than women during the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales this year. Specifically, men will spend £205 on average, while women will be spending around £174. Men have shown the steepest drop in their Black Friday budget over the last year. In 2021, men spent an average of £335 in Black Friday sales, but this has reduced by 39% in 2022.
