The Changing Landscape of American Retail Sales

American retail sales dynamics are in flux due to a growing disparity in US income distribution and the increasing strength of e-commerce sales channels.

Click sections below to explore current trends.

Disparity
Consumer confidence increased among upper income bracket households due to a relatively strong stock market. Lower income households don’t have much to feel good about.

Elevated Poverty Rates

Approximately 14.5% of the US population is living below the poverty line, a rate that has been consistently elevated since 2010.

US Median Household Income

US median household income is currently 8% below 2007 levels. Most income gains in recent years have been in the upper income brackets.

Outpacing Bricks

E-commerce retail sales are 6.2% of retail trade and are expected to grow to 8% by the end of 2017.

Department Stores

Stores targeting middle income segments are struggling to keep market traction with sales losses of more than $44bn since 2004.
