Gift Shops & Card Stores in the US

Shop around: While spending on gifts, greeting cards and souvenirs will pick up over the next five years due to revived income levels, industry revenue will continue to decline. Competition from free virtual outlets like social networking sites and online greeting cards websites will constrain the industry's growth over the five years to 2017. Furthermore, more consumers will shop at discount retailers instead of specialty stores, further cutting into revenue growth.

This industry retails a range of gifts, gift wrap, novelty merchandise, souvenirs, greeting cards, party supplies, and seasonal and holiday decorations. This industry excludes retailers that operate primarily as used merchandise stores, electronic shopping and mail-order houses or discount retail stores.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
