The world’s leading retail markets The United States, China, India, and Germany are amongst the world’s top retail markets. As of 2019, the United States was the largest retail market in the world, with sales of over five trillion U.S. dollars. China, which has been closely following United States’ footsteps, surpassed the North American country for the first time in history to be the world’s largest retail market in 2020.
