Revenue for the Gift Shops and Card Stores industry is continuing to rise as consumers increase their amount of discretionary spending. Improved per capita disposable income has allowed consumers to travel more in the five years to 2015 and purchase goods at industry operators. However, increasing competition with e-commerce and discount retailers have caused many small stores to close. In the next five years, the industry is anticipated to continue benefiting from rising disposable income levels and tourist activity. Additionally, as consumer spending improves, more people will trade up to premium industry products.
The Gift Shops and Card Stores industry retails a range of gifts, gift wrap, novelty merchandise, souvenirs, greeting cards, party supplies and seasonal and holiday decorations. This industry excludes retailers that operate as used merchandise stores, electronic shopping, mail-order houses or discount retail stores.
