Backed by a team of expert economists, Mastercard SpendingPulse provides market intelligence based on national retail sales across all payments types. Our SpendingPulse findings are based on aggregated sales activity in the Mastercard payments network, coupled with survey based estimates for certain other payment forms, such as cash and check.
Mastercard also offers monthly SpendingPulse Executive Reports, which spotlight consumer spending by month, year and region for sectors such as Apparel, Grocery, and Online; they include retail analysis of current market conditions. The reports are available in select markets around the world, including the United States, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan, South Africa, and the United Kingdom.
