U.S. apparel market

The United States apparel market was valued at approximately 368 billion U.S. dollars as of 2019, with leading retailers such as TJX and Macy's each bringing in around over 20 billion U.S. dollars in sales. Store-based retailing was valued at over 268 billion U.S., while e-commerce brought in over 100 million U.S. dollars of revenue. As the internet increasingly influences social and economic activities, the e-commerce market for retail goods is expected to grow steadily. In contrast, employment within the United States' apparel manufacturing industry decreased rapidly over the past several decades as manufacturing sectors generally transitioned to other regions.
