This paper has focused on personal, cultural, social, psychological, and situational factors. The comprehensive analysis indicates that social and personal factors are strongly associated with the purchase decision of emerging urban consumers. The study also claims that the situational factors could be considered for better predictability of consumer buying behaviour. Such studies make it possible to notice consumer decision-making rules. The outcomes may also support producers and retailers in understanding consumer behaviour and improving consumer gratification.
