Department Stores in the US - Industry Market Research Report


Department Stores in the US

The Department Stores industry has continued its long-term decline, with revenue falling in the period. The industry's decline has been accentuated by an estimated 17.6% drop in 2020 alone because of COVID-19 but was aided by the economy reopening in 2021, which resulted in the revenue growing 13.7% in that year alone. However, with rising inflationary pressures in 2022 and 2023 and the continually growing and competitive presence of e-commerce rivals, industry revenue is set to be more challenged in the current period. Another rising trend is the increasing number of major retailers that have expanded their product ranges to include groceries, which transitions their revenue to the Warehouse Clubs and Supercenters industry (IBISWorld report 45291), reducing industry participation. As a result, industry-wide revenue has decreased at a CAGR of 4.1% to $138.4 billion over the five years to 2023, including an estimated 2.6% decline in 2023 alone, when profit is projected to decrease to 4.2%.

Department stores retail a broad range of general merchandise, such as apparel, jewelry, cosmetics, home furnishings, general household products, toys, appliances and sporting goods. Discount department stores, which are also included in this industry, retail similar lines of goods at low prices. However, big-box retailers and supercenters that offer fresh groceries in their stores, in addition to warehouse clubs that operate under membership programs, are not included in this industry.

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.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
