So, it could be wise for investors to buy fundamentally strong retail stocks Wal-Mart de México, S.A.B. de C.V. (WMMVY), BJ's Wholesale Club (BJ) and Marui (MAURY). Keep reading... Despite ongoing headwinds, the retail industry is growing due to increasing internet penetration and policy focus on digitalization. Hence, I think it might be wise to invest in retail stocks Wal-Mart de México, S.A.B. de C.V. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/WMMVY/">WMMVY</a>), BJ's Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/BJ/">BJ</a>), and Marui Group Co., Ltd. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/MAURY/">MAURY</a>).
A growing middle class, increasing internet penetration, and policy focus on digitalization are expected to make many emerging markets attractive for retail investment. Moreover, online sales is expected to continue to rise, with projected <a href="https://www.pimics.com/en/Blog/Retail-industry-outlook-2023">year-on-year growth of over 6%</a>, taking their share of global retail sales to more than 14%, marginally exceeding the 13.9% share in 2022.
Matthew Shay, president, and chief executive officer NRF, says, "In just the last three years, the retail industry has experienced growth that would normally take almost a decade by pre-pandemic standards."  "While we expect growth to moderate in the year ahead, <a href="https://www.licenseglobal.com/retail-trends/retail-outlook-for-2023-positive-across-the-u-s-and-u-k">it will remain positive</a> as retail sales stabilize to more historical levels," he added.

3 Consumer Stocks to Buy Before July

In addition to the sector facing lesser volatility, the grocery industry is expanding operations with the help of digitization. As the industry continues to be on an uptick, it could be wise to scoop up the shares of three top-rated grocery stocks, Walmart (WMT), Marui Group (MAURY), and PriceSmart (PSMT). Continue reading… Inflation continues to impact consumers' spending habits, and they have become quite cautious in their approach while spending on retail goods. However, the pace of food inflation has declined, making headway for food retailers to step up their usage of promotional tools for improving demand and cutting down costs. Retailers repeatedly focus on low prices to attract customers and enhance in-store profitability prospects.
The sector constantly evolves through personalized offers and enhanced customer tracking systems, providing a value-based shopping experience. In this light, it could be wise for investors to consider a few high-performing grocery stocks such as Walmart Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/WMT/">WMT</a>), Marui Group Co., Ltd. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/MAURY/">MAURY</a>), and PriceSmart, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/PSMT/">PSMT</a>).
As inflation eased and the job remained remarkably strong, Americans showed a strong willingness to spend, keeping their wallet open. <a href="https://apnews.com/article/retail-sales-inflation-economy-consumer-spending-96c6d40ee4f1528f1aa62a75b121e788">Retail sales rose 0.2%</a> from May to June, following a revised 0.5% increase the previous month, the Commerce Department reported.
The U.S. grocery industry is on track for <a href="https://www.winsightgrocerybusiness.com/retailers/us-grocery-retail-market-pegged-grow-nearly-6-2023">5.6% growth in 2023</a>, reaching a staggering $1.5 trillion, as per Coresight Research. Various factors, including lower inflation rates and the rising prominence of non-traditional grocery retailers, fuel this growth.
Moreover, the supermarkets and hypermarkets segment is expected to grow <a href="https://www.thebusinessresearchcompany.com/report/supermarkets-and-hypermarkets-global-market-report">at a CAGR of 6.5%</a> to $4.35 trillion in 2027, thanks to the advancement in technology in analyzing retail data with accuracy that would aid in meeting the customers' expectations.
Regardless of the swings in macroeconomic conditions and their effect on consumer behavior, grocery retailers enjoy an inelastic demand as consumers do not pull back on spending on essentials. Moreover, technological advancements should keep the retail sector buoyed this year as <a href="https://www.businessnewsdaily.com/9836-future-of-retail.html">e-commerce continues to gain prominence</a> since the pandemic.
The supermarket business, driven to digitalization by omnichannel mass merchandisers, is facing revolutionary trends in the global market. Grandview Research has forecasted that the global food &amp; grocery retail market is expected to grow at a 3% CAGR, reaching a <a href="https://www.grandviewresearch.com/press-release/global-food-grocery-retail-market">staggering value of $14.78 trillion by 2030</a>.
Given this backdrop, it could be wise to buy a few fundamentally strong stocks like WMT, MAURY, and PSMT for significant returns. Let's take a look at these stocks.
