The Dollar Channel in the United States 2009
Mintel, July 2009, Pages: 85
About this report
At the time of this writing, the country remains mired in a recession that began in December 2007. Throughout 2008, Americans made subtle and not so subtle changes to their shopping and spending patterns, which slowed growth at many companies and, more generally, the U.S. economy.
This has had a negative impact on most channels but many dollar stores, like supercenters, have posted considerable sales growth during the downtown. Q1 2009 results from large dollar store chains continue to indicate that these companies can do quite well in a down economy. As such, the channel has become more important to a variety of businesses such as the CPG firms that manufacture an increasing share of the products sold at these stores.
In order to provide insight into how the channel is evolving and how to appeal to dollar store customers, the author addressed the following questions in this report:
- What are the annual sales of dollar stores in the U.S and how are they projected to grow in the future?
- How are various economic and demographic trends in the U.S. impacting the channel?
- What are the leading companies in the channel and what are they doing to succeed in the current economic environment?
- What proportion of the population shop at dollar stores?
- What are the most common reasons for shopping at dollar stores?
- Why do some people avoid dollar stores?
- What items are most commonly purchased at dollar stores?
- What segments of the population shop at dollar stores the most and how is the demographic composition of the shopper base changing?
