Retail-Nonstore Retailers

Retail–Nonstore Retailers, classified under SIC 5960, encompass companies that sell goods and services directly to consumers without a traditional storefront, including e‑commerce platforms, catalog and mail-order houses, TV and livestream shopping operators, subscription box providers, and direct-response marketers. Typical customers range from price-sensitive households and convenience-focused professionals to niche hobbyists and small businesses sourcing specialized products. Core offerings include general merchandise, apparel, consumer electronics, health and beauty items, and digital services, often supported by flexible delivery, returns, and customer support. Key risks center on intense price competition, dependence on digital advertising platforms, supply chain disruptions, and strict regulations around data privacy, consumer protection, and fair marketing practices, as well as evolving requirements on cybersecurity and payment security. In 2024–2025, the sector is shaped by AI-driven personalization, social and influencer commerce, cross-border fulfillment, and rising expectations for sustainability and faster delivery.
