Abstract

Kumar, S., G. Kathuria, and D. Malthora. 2025. “Overconsumption: A Systematic Literature Review and Future Research Agenda.” International Journal of Consumer Studies 49: e70026.

Tables 1 and 2 published online should be changed to Tables 5 and 6.

The numbering of the tables should then be corrected as follows.

Table 1: Description of overconsumption and related key terms.

Table 2: Journal wise distribution of reviewed articles.

Table 3: Top 10 publications of overconsumption.

Table 4: Theories used in overconsumption literature.

Table 5: Countries investigated in overconsumption research.

Table 6: Industries investigated in overconsumption research.

Table 7: Widely used methods in the prior studies.

Table 8: Future research agenda.

Table 9: Research gaps based on theories.

On page 2, on the fifth paragraph of the Introduction, on the fifth sentence, the text citation of Tables 1 and 2 should be removed. It should be corrected as follows:

Likewise, most models created in the literature on overconsumption are context-or domain-specific.

On page 13, on the first paragraph of 4.3.2 Context, on the fifth sentence the text citation of Table 1 should be changed to Table 5. It should be corrected as follows:

In Table 5, it is evident that a significant number of the reviewed studies were carried out in North America (18 studies, constituting 29.50% of all studies) and Europe (16 studies, accounting for 26.22% of all studies), various studies explore overconsumption regardless of geographical location.

On page 13, on the third paragraph of 4.3.2 Context, on the first sentence the text citation of Table 2 should be changed to Table 6. It should be corrected as follows:

Table 6 indicates that the hospitality industry covers a series of sub-industries ranging from healthcare (three studies, e.g., Freeman, Zhao, and Melouk 2018) to one study focusing on the hotel (Huang 2017).

We apologize for these errors.
