Coresight Research and Blue Yonder conducted two surveys in early January 2021 to understand US retailers’ strategies around local sourcing and the impact of Covid-19 on US consumers’ shopping behaviors.

Based on our findings, we present five key retail insights in this report, covering the following topics:

• Retailers’ sourcing changes implemented due to Covid-19
• The benefits that retailers are seeking through local sourcing and nearshoring strategies
• The degree to which retailers’ perceptions and strategies align with consumer priorities when shopping
• Preferred shopping channels by consumers when purchasing clothing and footwear
• The importance of retailers’ environmental sustainability and social impact initiatives to consumers in choosing where to shop for clothing and footwear
