NRF predicts retail sales growth in 2025 — RetailWire.com

By 8th & Walton | on April 7, 2025

The National Retail Federation expects retail sales to grow this year despite the impact of tariffs:

“The NRF projects that U.S. retail sales will grow by between 2.7% and 3.7% versus 2024’s figures as 2025 proceeds to an end, a value of between $5.42 trillion and $5.48 trillion. Despite the obvious challenges facing the U.S. retail sector (tariffs being one source of focus), these statistics may measure up to 2024’s growth versus the year prior — in 2024, the American retail business experienced 3.6% annual growth valued at $5.29 trillion.“
