A data-driven look at the trends shaping the biggest shopping weekend of the year, powered by EDITED’s market data.

LONDON & NEW YORK: EDITED, the leading retail intelligence platform, has released its annual Black Friday analysis for the US and UK markets. Developed by EDITED’s team of retail analysts, the report highlights the key promotional and pricing trends that shaped the biggest shopping weekend of the year. Retailers can expect a detailed look at how discounting behavior shifted, how consumers responded, and where margin protection played a larger role in both regions.

Early findings indicate that discount participation reached its highest point in three years across both markets, yet retailers approached the season with a more measured strategy. Consumers showed strong engagement with targeted promotions, and select categories saw careful management as brands worked to balance demand with profitability. The full report breaks down these dynamics and provides a comprehensive view of how retailers adapted to market pressures and changing shopper sentiment.

Emily Bezzant, VP of Research at EDITED, said that the team looks forward to producing these reports every year, calling it an important temperature check for the industry. “Our Black Friday analysis provides a clear, data-backed view of how retail is evolving and where the real opportunities lie,” she said. “We love bringing this level of insight to retailers so they can plan with confidence and respond quickly to shifts in the market.”
