North America is the home to most of the world’s largest retailers. Between Canada, Mexico, and the U.S. retail industries, retail sales total more than $5 trillion annually. Canada and Mexico each have their own largest retail chains and both countries have retail companies that do business throughout the world.

Retail business is responsible for approximately two-thirds of the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP). However, U.S. retailers aren’t satisfied with dominance within their own borders and have established a substantial presence across the globe.
