The forecast marks a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.95%, underscoring Black Friday’s transformation from a U.S.-centric shopping day into a global retail phenomenon.

Initially rooted in the American post-Thanksgiving tradition, Black Friday has evolved into a high-stakes commercial event that now spans continents and defines global consumer spending patterns.

The Black Friday Sale Market 2024 reflects how digital transformation, mobile shopping, and global logistics have redefined how consumers engage with deals.

E-commerce platforms now dominate, while physical stores continue to offer the experiential thrill of in-store deals.

According to the report, the rise of influencer marketing, personalized promotions, and omnichannel experiences is pushing brands to invest heavily in Black Friday strategies that drive engagement, sales, and customer loyalty.

Several factors are fueling this surge:

Social media-driven campaigns
