Tony D’Onofrio, President of Sensormatic Solutions, is leading efforts to redefine the retail industry amidst massive holiday consumer spending. In 2025, holiday spending in the United States exceeded $1 trillion, which was eight times the amount spent during back-to-school season, which totaled around $125 billion in 2025. Shoppers continue to prefer visiting physical stores even with the popularity of e-commerce.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The holiday season is considered a high-stakes period that sets the stage for the following year, and the summer trends in supply chain and shopper behavior provide foundational understanding for this rush. Back-to-school spending can also serve as a test run for the winter rush, guiding end-of-year preparation.
