• Coresight Research’s monthly reports keep you up to date on retail sales (in total and by sector) and key consumer indicators, focusing on the US, the UK and China.
• Complementing our monthly reports, the Coresight Research US Retail Sales Databank brings together retail sales data to help you understand the scale and trajectory of US retail.
• Coresight Research’s measure of core retail sales is the unadjusted year-over-year change, excluding gasoline and automobiles. As reported by the US Census Bureau on June 15, 2021, May 2021 saw strong year-over-year growth—although down from April’s huge increase, which was largely due to weak comparatives in 2020.
• Compared to 2019 values, May sales were still very strong but represented the second straight month of declining growth.
