Similar to ethnocentric ideals, in which individuals are inclined to show more favor towards their group, consumer ethnocentrism is relevant to the belief that one's material products or goods that are tied towards their country are more superior than other countries products. Consumer ethnocentrism originates from more of a psychological outlook within ethnocentrism. Previous sociological principles of in-groups and out-groups also exist within consumer ethnocentrism.

There are also several attributes that derive from consumer ethnocentrism. One of those qualities is that consumer ethnocentrism may allow individuals to gain more knowledge on what type kinds of purchases are more appreciated towards their specific in-group. An individual's feelings of identity and belonging can also become more understood through consumer ethnocentrism.
