據(jù)外媒報道，在近10年零售業(yè)的競爭中，新興網(wǎng)購已迫使全美各地多家連鎖實體零售商或關閉分店，或宣布破產(chǎn)。據(jù)各零售商于2015年宣布關閉分店的情況，近日媒體列出了今年關閉最多分店的10家連鎖零售商。
據(jù)報道，美國2014年第四季度總零售額較2013年同期增長了3.7%，其中電子商務躍升14.6%。與此同時，連鎖零售業(yè)--包括服裝店、書店、電子產(chǎn)品專賣店等專門零售商和百貨公司紛紛關閉分店，以因應網(wǎng)絡購物這一消費趨勢。
部分原文報道如下：
While total U.S. retail sales grew 3.7% in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to the same quarter in 2013, e-commerce sales jumped 14.6% in the fourth quarter. One year earlier, total sales grew 3.8% year-over-year, while e-commerce sales increased 16.0%.
As e-commerce increasingly grabs a larger share of retail sales, several major retailers are reducing their physical presence, including department stores and specialty retailers such as clothing stores, bookstores and electronics outlets. Some retailers saw sales reduced due to strategic mistakes or consolidation through mergers and still others due to over-expansion. According to Dorothy Lakner, managing director at Topeka Capital Markets, “The new ideal store count for a U.S. national chain [of clothing retailers] is 600 to 700 stores.”
