Wholesale or manufacturing.
Retail is the last stage of buying & selling before reaching the consumer. A manufacturer actually makes the product. A broker buys it & sells it to a wholesaler. The wholesaler sells it to a retail store (such as the local grocery store or boutique) where it's available for shoppers to purchase it.

'Retail', as a noun, means "the sale of goods or commodities in small quantities directly to consumers."
You can look at its opposite in a few ways: you can oppose 'the sale', which means 'charity' may be its opposite.
You can oppose 'goods or commodities', which means 'service' may be its opposite.
You can oppose 'small quantities' along with 'directly to consumers', which leaves 'wholesale' as its opposite, and thisis what most people will agree is the opposite of 'retail'.
If you want to oppose both 'the sale' and 'directly to consumers', you could consider 'manufacturing' as the opposite of 'retail', but to choose the most appropriate opposite word, use the context in which 'retail' occurs to help you decide.

opposite of the word "to re-tail" (to put a tail back) would be "to de-tail". If it is about some queue, an antonym will be "to disperse".
If you do not agree, present arguments, please.
