Esri retired the Retail MarketPlace data, report, and maps in 2017 because of the changing face of the retail industry today. When the Retail MarketPlace database was first developed in 2003, the methodology supported a retail industry that was dominated by a brick-and-mortar business model. Within recent years, and specifically in today’s marketplace, larger chunks of retail activity have swung to e-commerce activity. With a larger portion of sales activity taking place online to fulfill retail demand, Esri is re-envisioning the Retail MarketPlace model to accommodate increased e-commerce activity and anticipates releasing this new data by the end of 2023.
