PURCHASE, N.Y. — According to Mastercard SpendingPulseTM, U.S. retail sales excluding automotive is expected to grow +15% on Black Friday compared to last year. Mastercard SpendingPulse measures in-store and online retail sales across all forms of payment and is not adjusted for inflation.

With many big-box retailers, department stores and outlet malls closed again on Thanksgiving Day, consumers will be gearing up for the main event – a Black Friday shopping blitz. Key trends to watch this Black Friday, include:

  • In-store shopping prevails: Building on last year’s in-store momentum and the post-pandemic return of doorbusters, window displays and brick-and-mortar collaborations are continuing to drive shoppers back into stores with in-store retail sales anticipated to be up +18% year-over-year.
  • Department store deals: Department stores are making a comeback with deals and discounts to entice consumers. This Black Friday, Department Store sales are anticipated to be up nearly +25% year-over-year as consumers shop online and in-store at these one-stop shops for all the gifts on their holiday shopping list.
  • Dining out for the holidays: Restaurants are expected to experience +35% year-over-year growth on Black Friday as consumers prioritize experiences and dining out with friends and family.
  • Tis the season for travel: Travel companies are also getting in on the promotional holiday. Separate from total retail sales, Airlines (+39% YOY, +14% YO3Y) and Lodging (+32% YOY, +40% YO3Y) are expected to experience double-digit growth on Black Friday as consumers plan their next getaway.

“Expect Black Friday shopping to be in full force across channels this year,” said Steve Sadove, senior advisor for Mastercard and former CEO and Chairman of Saks Incorporated. “While retailers have already been heavily discounting this season, consumers and retailers are likely holding out for some special offers to land on the biggest promotional day of the year.”

Mastercard SpendingPulse October Insights:

As anticipated, early holiday promotions drove consumers online and into stores. According to Mastercard SpendingPulse, October U.S. retail sales excluding automotive increased 9.5% year over year and 23.6% compared to October 2019.
