Free Data GraphicCoresight Bites: US Retail Traffic Declines by 36% Coresight Research March 16, 2021 The Coresight Research US Retail Traffic and In-Store Metrics series reviews year-over-year changes in selected store-based metrics, as reported by RetailNext. In this month’s report, we review store traffic changes through February 2021, when many states opted to extend coronavirus-related restrictions. As a result, new Covid-19 cases declined in February versus January. As some states are easing their restrictions in March, we expect to see an improvement in traffic trends during the month. 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.
