Abstract

Currently, marketing (psychology), as a major part of modern business activities and market academic research, has a significant impact on enterprises’ competitive advantage, thereby helping them activate consumer potential and improve marketing effectiveness. Therefore, this study focuses on exploring the research trends and hot topics in marketing (psychology) to better contribute to enterprises in activating consumer potential and improving marketing effectiveness. The study employs quantitative and qualitative analysis methods, using CiteSpace 6.4R1 literature visualization analysis software to conduct visualization analysis of marketing (psychology) literature data from Web of Science (WOS) from 2016 to 2025. The research findings are as follows: 1) Keyword clustering analysis revealed that research on purchasing tendencies, coordination functions, social media, and emerging markets was prevalent; 2) Time trend analysis showed that research in marketing psychology is gradually shifting from demand-driven and precision-driven to incremental-driven; 3) The study analyzed cases such as Thai celebrities breaking revenue records with live-streaming e-commerce on TikTok, Xiaohongshu’s closed-loop marketing model of “planting seeds and harvesting products,” and the operational models of comprehensive e-commerce platforms like Taobao and JD.com, using theories of conformity and emotional resonance.
