Consumer spend data from Huq shows spend by volume and category at any UK location, via Experian. It sits next to footfall, catchment and dwell time in the same platform, so retailers, landlords, councils and investors can see how busy a place is and what is spent there. Huq doesn't sell card-level or merchant-level transaction records. Geo-spend answers the place question instead, for high streets, shopping centres, retail parks and candidate sites.
See consumer spend data next to footfall
This short overview shows the Huq platform as a whole, not the spend views in detail. Watch how an area is drawn on the Explore map. In the UK, that same area can carry geo-spend by volume and category, via Experian, next to its footfall. Setting the two side by side is how teams find places where visits are high but spend lags.
- Spend by volume and category at any UK location
- Footfall and spend side by side for the same area

What is consumer spend data?
Consumer spend data describes what people spend: how much, on what and where. It comes in several forms, from national statistics and bank-reported trends to card transaction records sold by data vendors. For location decisions, the useful question is usually how much is spent in a particular place, and on what.
Huq offers geo-spend data: spend by volume and category at any UK location, via Experian. Huq doesn't sell card-level or merchant-level transaction records, so if you need individual transactions, a card data vendor is the right source.
Because geo-spend sits in the same platform as footfall, catchment, dwell and demographics, you can see whether a high street's spend keeps pace with its visits, or compare spend across candidate sites before you commit.
What's in your geo-spend analysis
01
Spend by category
Spend split by category at any UK location, via Experian, so you can see which sectors a place supports.
02
Spend volume by location
Compare spend volume across high streets, centres, retail parks or candidate sites on the same basis.
03
Footfall next to spend
Weekly footfall, dwell and visit frequency for the same area, to judge whether visits turn into spend.
04
Who is spending
Visitor age, gender and purchasing power for the same UK locations, to see who visits where spend is high.
What geo-spend data from Huq shows
Three ways UK teams use geo-spend alongside footfall.
01
Spend by category for an area
Draw a high street, centre or retail park and see spend by category, so you know what a place's spend goes on.
02
Spend against footfall
Put spend volume next to footfall for the same location to find places where visits are strong but spend is weak, or the reverse.
03
Site comparison
Compare spend and footfall across candidate sites or competitor locations before you commit to a lease or acquisition.

Frequently asked questions
Does Huq sell credit card transaction data?
No. Huq doesn't sell card-level or merchant-level transaction records. It offers geo-spend data: spend by volume and category at any UK location, via Experian, alongside footfall, catchment, dwell time and visitor demographics in the same platform.
Where can I find consumer spend data reports in the UK?
National consumer spending figures are published by the ONS, and banks and card providers publish regular spending reports. For spend at a specific place, such as a high street, shopping centre or retail park, Huq provides geo-spend by volume and category at any UK location, via Experian.
What's the difference between consumer spending data and footfall?
Footfall counts how many people visit a place; consumer spending data shows how much is spent there and on what. Together they show whether visits turn into spend. Huq offers both for UK locations in one platform, so you can compare them for exactly the same area.
Is geo-spend available outside the UK?
Geo-spend is available in selected markets; in the UK it covers spend by volume and category at any location, via Experian. Huq's footfall, catchment and behaviour data covers all 35 of its markets. If you need spend for another country, ask us what's available there before you plan around it.
How often is Huq's data updated?
Huq's footfall and visit data refreshes weekly. You can view it by week, month or year, export CSV or Excel files, receive monthly PDF location reports, or take data feeds as Parquet and CSV files into Amazon S3 or Google Cloud Storage. Huq doesn't offer an API.
Can I get a free analysis of my locations?
Yes. Tell us which towns, centres or sites you want to compare and Huq will prepare a free analysis of your locations, putting geo-spend next to footfall so you can judge whether it answers the question you'd planned to use transaction data for.
