Summary/Abstract: The study includes considerations concerning the consumer trends in advanced market economies. There are generally described the popular methods of market division. An analysis comprised purchasing behaviours displayed by consumers, the students of the Department of Economics (WNE) of the Koszalin University of Technology and assignment thereof in the contemporary lifestyles. The author used the method of diagnostic survey. As the model there was assumed the AIO (Activities, Interests and Opinions) segmentation, forming the statements mainly from the area of activities, interests and opinions. The surveys show that young consumers have similar opinions on some aspects of the life; also their activities are similar. Somewhat different situation concerns consumer behaviours. The individuals surveyed only learn to spend money and define their identity. There are not among them individuals definitely declaring the selected lifestyle. Persuasive messages of skilled advertisers, encouraging buying definite products, may have found fertile ground. The impact of technology and advertising on the individuals surveyed is apparent in their life and often dark. The article is of the research nature.
