Monthly inventories-to-sales ratio in U.S. retail industry 2020-2021

Published by Daniela Coppola, May 10, 2022
In terms of inventory management, the pandemic was a true disruption for U.S. retailers. This graph looks at the amount of inventory compared to the number of fulfilled sales from January 2020 to November 2021. In April 2020, the inventories-to-sales ratio jumped to its annual peak due to the imposed lockdown. Only two months later, it decreased abruptly as stores reopened and consumers could shop with the same frequency. The ratio stood at 1.09 percent as of November 2021.
