Black Friday 2025 in the US is expected to see a record number of shoppers, but their spending will decrease due to fewer good discounts and a general increase in the price of goods. Sales in November-December could exceed $1 trillion, but the growth rate will be lower than last year.<\/p>\n

\"Record<\/p>\n

This year's Black Friday could be a record-breaker for the number of shoppers in the US, but American spending is projected to decrease. The reason is fewer advantageous discounts and a general increase in the price of goods. This is reported by Reuters, writes UNN.<\/p>\n

The National Retail Federation expects 186.9 million shoppers to visit stores over five days \u2013 from Thanksgiving to Cyber Monday \u2013 exceeding last year's figure of 183.4 million. But despite the record number of visitors, year-end sales growth may slow down.<\/p>\n

Shoppers are increasingly feeling the pinch of rising prices. <\/p>\n

\u2013 says New Yorker Kate Sanner, who runs an online aggregator for used goods listings. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Last year, she spent about $500 on gifts, but this year she plans to cut her budget to $300, opting out of mass discounts in favor of targeted purchases.<\/p>\n

This year's Thanksgiving falls on November 27 \u2013 giving retailers an extra day in a season that typically brings in a third of annual profits. Major chains started promotions early: Walmart launched a sale on November 14 in three phases until December 1, Amazon opened a week of discounts on Thursday, and Macy's created a separate portal for Black Friday.<\/p>\n

According to NRF forecasts, sales in November-December \u2013 both in physical stores and online \u2013 could exceed $1 trillion for the first time, growing by 3.7\u20134.2%. But these rates will be lower than last year's 4.8%, indicating a noticeable cooling of consumer activity despite record store traffic.<\/p>\n
