2021's fastest growing retailers in the Top 1000

As shoppers began returning to stores in 2021, there were fewer Top 1000 retailers posting well above market growth. Only 41.3% of the Top 1000 increased their online sales more than 25% in 2021, compared to 52.8% in 2020. Consumer brand manufacturers were the most likely type of merchant to qualify as fastest growing retailers in 2021.

Sellers in the hardware and home improvement, apparel and accessories, and home furnishings
merchandise categories also were the most common fastest growing retailers in 2021. It’s also worth noting there were fewer Top 1000 retailers whose sales grew by less than 10% in 2021, perhaps reflecting some easing of supply chain snafus that limited merchandise availability for some retailers in 2020. Only 148 Top 1000 retailers posted online sales gains of under 10% in 2021 versus 191 a year earlier.
