Holiday Sales at Risk: Container Imports Slowdown
Update: 2025-11-08
Description
Retailers brace for holiday slowdown as container imports decline: Despite ample holiday stockpiles, a major retail trade group warns of a significant slowdown in container imports in 2026, with September seeing a 9% drop from August and a 7.4% decrease from last year. October and November are expected to follow suit, with December forecast to be the slowest month of the year. Despite the expected slowdown, the trade group remains optimistic about holiday sales, predicting a 3.7-4.2% increase. However, uncertainty due to tariff policies makes long-term planning challenging, with a small decline in imports expected this year and a larger drop in the first three months of 2026.
