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. This metric accelerated to 17.3% in March, as reported by the US Census Bureau on April 15, 2021. The strong year-over-year growth was partly due to weak comparables, with March 2020 having recorded soft growth as the Covid-19 pandemic hit the US. However, comparing sales to March 2019 paints a similarly positive picture of strong growth in March 2021. Click the image to read more about the topic.
