The Department Stores industry has fought tough conditions in the five years to 2012, with revenue expected to decline at an average annual rate of 3.1% to $193.7 billion. Weak consumer confidence and low disposable income deterred households from making discretionary purchases during the recession, causing demand and sales to fall substantially for traditional department stores. Furthermore, in recent years, online retailers have emerged as a threat to industry players, stealing customers by offering convenience and low prices. "These poor conditions have caused profit to plummet," says IBISWorld industry analyst Eben Jose. "However, these same conditions have allowed discount department stores to thrive because their low prices catered to customers shopping on a budget." Recent improvements in economic conditions are expected to relieve some of the overall industry's struggles; revenue is estimated to grow a slight 1.2% in 2012.
