On September 25, 2025, the U.S. Census.gov released data showing that advance wholesale inventories for August 2025 decreased by 0.2% from July to $905.2 billion, and were up 0.7% from August 2024. The month-over-month decline was larger than the initial forecast of a 0.1% increase and was driven by a 0.6% drop in non-durable goods inventories, as durable goods inventories remained flat. |

In a surprising turn, US Wholesale Inventories have recorded a decrease, according to the latest economic data. The actual number has come in at -0.2%, a significant shift from the forecasted 0.1% increase. This unexpected drop indicates a lower value of goods held in inventory by wholesalers, a key economic indicator. The forecast had predicted a slight increase, continuing the previous trend where wholesale inventories rose by 0.2%. However, the actual figure has not only missed the forecast but also posted a negative growth, marking a stark contrast to the previous month's performance. |

The figure for June was revised down from $903.3 billion to $901.9 billion, or from an increase of 0.2% to a gain of 0.1%, the agency said in a statement.

Wholesale inventories rise 0.2%; retail stocks up 0.7%. Some of the imports in June likely ended up in the warehouses of wholesalers and retailers. The report from the Census Bureau also showed wholesale inventories increased 0.2% in June after rising 0.6% in May. Retail inventories climbed 0.7%, boosted by a 1.8% gain in stocks at motor vehicles and parts dealers. Retail inventories advanced 0.6% in May. Excluding motor vehicles and parts, retail inventories gained 0.2% in June after dipping 0.1% in May. This category goes into the calculation of GDP. Business inventories are estimated to have added roughly 1.5 percentage points to GDP growth last quarter after subtracting from growth for two straight quarters. Both trade and inventory investment subtracted from GDP in the first quarter, with the economy growing at a 1.4% pace during that period. Economists expect the trade gap to remain large, with businesses, wary of new tariffs on foreign goods, front-loading imports ahead of the Nov. 5 presidential election. |

U.S. inventories are growing at twice the rate of sales. With demand remaining strong, middle market firms have been increasing their inventories during the current quarter, with just under a majority expecting to do so over the next six months, according to the RSM US Middle Market Business Index. Inventories are now growing at twice the rate of sales on a composite basis inside the manufacturing and trade ecosystems, according to composite data from the U.S. Census. The surge in inventories raises the possibility that firms will be caught with excess supplies just as demand begins to slow down this year. |

U.S. wholesale inventories increased slightly more than initially thought in April, suggesting that inventory investment could provide a lift to economic growth this quarter. The rise in stocks reported by the Commerce Department on Wednesday, however, came as sales growth moderated. Inventories are being closely watched amid rising fears of a recession next year as the Federal Reserve raises interest rates to cool demand in its battle against high inflation. Major U.S. retailers, including Walmart (WMT.N), opens new tab and Target (TGT.N), opens new tab, said last month that they were carrying too much merchandise. Wholesale inventories advanced 2.2%, instead of 2.1% as reported last month. Data for March was revised higher to show stocks at wholesalers rising 2.7% instead of the previously reported 2.3%.

While businesses continued to replenish inventories in February 2022, the pace was less frantic than in the last months of 2021. Wholesale stocks increased 2.1% in February 2022 after climbing 1.1% in January 2022. Retail inventories increase 1.1%; wholesale up 2.1%. Inventory investment accelerated at a robust seasonally adjusted annualized rate of $171.2 billion in the fourth quarter, contributing 4.90 percentage points to the quarter's 7.0% growth pace. Despite February's rise, inventories are likely to be neutral to GDP growth this quarter as they would need to increase at a similarly fast rate as the fourth quarter to contribute to growth. First-quarter GDP growth estimates are mostly below a 1.0% pace. |

March advance wholesale inventories sees post-Covid surge while retail inventories drop. The Census Bureau on Wednesday released numbers that showed wholesale inventories rose 1.4% from February 2021 o March 2021. Wholesalers are basically the middle step in the retail supply chain. They buy goods from manufacturers that they’re hoping to sell to retailers. “So they’re speculating on the future,” said Tim Fiore, with the Institute for Supply Management. “So wholesale inventory growth is absolutely an optimistic indicator.” It is optimistic because wholesalers believe consumers are going to be spending more. And that’s already starting to happen, according to Wells Fargo senior economist Sarah House: “Products are just flying off the shelves as soon as retailers can get their hands on them.” House said that’s a sign the economy has plenty of room to grow. “Sales could be even better if we could actually get our hands on the supplies and products that consumers and businesses want.” |

Wholesale Inventories
Wholesale inventories measure the monthly dollar value of inventories held by merchant wholesalers and are tracked to gauge inventory change in quarterly GDP. The advance report is released late in the month for the following month and is part of the Monthly Advance Economic Indicators report (which also includes data on retail inventories and international trade in goods). Final monthly data for wholesale inventories are released about two weeks later with the Wholesale Trade report which also includes initial monthly data on wholesale sales.
Higher inventories add to gross domestic product, the official scorecard of the U.S. economy. The increase in inventories is likely to spur Wall Street economists to raise first-quarter GDP forecasts
