(Graphic: Business Wire)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n\u201cThe holiday shopping season revealed a consumer who is willing and able to spend but driven by a search for value as can be seen by concentrated e-commerce spending during the biggest promotional periods,\u201d said Michelle Meyer, chief economist, Mastercard Economics Institute. \u201cSolid spending during this holiday season underscores the strength we observed from the consumer all year, supported by the healthy labor market and household wealth gains.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nKey retail trends for the full holiday season included:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li><b>The most \u2018valuable\u2019 time of the year <\/b>\u2013 Empowered consumers sought value at every turn this year, responding to promotions during the November and Black Friday shopping period, and filling their baskets in the run-up to December 24. Overall retail sales saw a 3.8% increase compared to 2023, with the last five days of the holiday season accounting for 10% of all holiday spending.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li><b>A balanced basket <\/b>\u2013 Consumer demand for experiences like dining out strengthened in the holiday season, with Restaurant spending growth up 6.3% compared to last year. Additionally, this season saw an increase in spending growth on goods compared to last year, with Apparel (3.6%), Jewelry (4.0%) and Electronics (3.7%) as notable sectors for gift-giving.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li><b>Clicking all the way <\/b>\u2013 Consumers increasingly preferred digital-first shopping this year, with e-commerce, curbside pick-up and delivery being top-of-mind for the festive season. Online retail sales grew 6.7% year-over-year, whereas in-store sales increased 2.9%. Notably, the Apparel sector showed a strong lead in e-commerce sales, with 6.7% growth for online purchases compared to last year.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li><b>Digital-savvy shopping cities <\/b>\u2013 While many Americans shop online for the holidays, there are some cities in particular that have embraced e-commerce. Cities like Tampa (10.6%) and Phoenix (10.0%) lead with double digital growth followed by Minneapolis (8.9%), Dallas (8.4%), Charlotte (7.9%), Orlando (7.8%), and Houston (7.6%) coming in well above the national total for e-commerce sales compared to 2023.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n\u201cThis holiday season, we saw consumers motivated by deals and retailers respond with promotions to meet the demand,\u201d said Steve Sadove, senior advisor for Mastercard and former CEO and chairman of Saks Incorporated. \u201cThe value-minded consumer showed up to shop at brick-and-mortar stores and e-commerce platforms, with retailers managing across both to capture attention throughout the season.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n*Excluding automotive<\/p>\n<p><b>About Mastercard SpendingPulse<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nMastercard SpendingPulse measures national retail sales based on aggregated and anonymized Mastercard insights, representing all payment types in select markets around the world.<\/p>\n<p>\nMastercard SpendingPulse defines \u201cU.S. retail sales\u201d as sales at retailers and food services merchants of all sizes.
