It refers to the study of how individuals, groups, or organizations select, purchase, use, and dispose of goods, services, ideas, or experiences to satisfy their needs and wants. This field is interdisciplinary, drawing from psychology, sociology, economics, anthropology, and marketing.

Understanding kasutuskäitumises is crucial for businesses aiming to develop effective marketing strategies, design appealing products, and provide satisfactory customer service. Researchers analyze various factors that influence these behaviors, including personal characteristics such as age, income, lifestyle, and personality, as well as social influences like family, reference groups, and culture. Psychological factors like perception, motivation, learning, and attitudes also play a significant role.

The process of decision-making in kasutuskäitumises typically involves several stages: recognizing a need or problem, searching for information, evaluating alternatives, making a purchase decision, and post-purchase evaluation. Companies often segment markets based on different usage behaviors to tailor their offerings and communication more effectively to specific target audiences. Analyzing purchasing patterns, brand loyalty, and product adoption rates are common methods used to gain insights into consumer behavior. Ultimately, the goal is to comprehend why consumers behave the way they do in the marketplace.
