2025–2030 U.S. Retail Industry Market Outlook and Investment Strategy Planning Analysis Report

U.S. January 2026 retail & food services sales fell about -0.2% m/m, pressured by winter storms and weaker gas/auto-related spending, even as online sales held up. In February, the University of Michigan sentiment prelim improved to 57.3, signaling a modest rebound in consumer mood.

2025–2030 U.S. Retail Industry Market Outlook and Investment Strategy Planning Analysis Report

1. U.S. Retail Data:

In January 2026, U.S. retail data declined by 0.2% month-on-month. Winter storms and oil prices were the main drags, also reflecting a normal pullback after the holiday shopping season. In January 2026, U.S. retail sales fell by 0.16% month-on-month, better than the market expectation of -0.3% but lower than the previous value of 0%. Winter storms swept across the central and eastern United States, significantly constraining consumer travel and spending willingness. In addition, declines in automobile sales and gas station sales dragged down overall retail data. The month-on-month decline in January retail data also reflects a typical post-holiday consumption adjustment.

In the January 2026 retail data, performance across 13 sub-sectors diverged, with 7 categories experiencing declines. Health and personal care stores, gas stations, clothing and clothing accessories stores, sporting goods, hobby, book and music stores, food services and drinking places, motor vehicle and parts dealers, and electronics and appliance stores all saw month-on-month decreases of -3.0%, -2.9%, -1.7%, -1.2%, -0.2%, -0.9%, and -0.6%, respectively. Despite overall pressure on retail data, non-store retail sales increased by 1.9% month-on-month in January, indicating that consumers shifted their shopping demand to online channels due to factors such as adverse weather.

In February 2026, the University of Michigan U.S. Consumer Sentiment Index recorded 57.3, rebounding from 56.4 in January and achieving three consecutive months of increases, reflecting a recovery in U.S. consumers' willingness to spend; however, the current level remains slightly below the full-year average of 57.6 in 2025, so the outlook for the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index remains cautious.
