In Q3 2026 (as of June), US seasonally adjusted retail inventories reached $838.983 billion, continuing an upward trend from the previous value of $832.612 billion and hitting a new record high.

Meanwhile, to hedge against potential tariffs and freight rate fluctuations, retailers have proactively initiated front-loading inventory strategies.
