Business Inventories measure the quarterly change in the dollar value of unsold goods held by manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers. This indicator is a critical component of GDP calculation, as changes in inventory levels reflect the balance between production and consumption. A significant increase in inventories can indicate either a buildup of unsold goods due to weak demand or a strategic accumulation in anticipation of higher future sales.
The data is compiled from surveys of manufacturing, wholesale, and retail companies, adjusted for seasonal variations and reported as a percentage change from the previous quarter.
