I suggest reading the volume THE HOME FRONT in Time-Life's history of the Second World War.
You will learn about rubber shortages, fuel shortages, food shortages, rationing of many things, scrap metal drives and the transition of a consumer goods economy to arguably the greatest military industrial power in the world.
Your local library should have a copy.
Check it out!

They lost a lot of consumers but gained enormous profits from post war reconstruction in both Germany and Japan.

Industries boomed in the United States after the war, so people were earning more money and spending it, lol.. New products came on the market to feed this new demand.
