High Street Sales Up On Last December

Sales volume increased by 5.3% in December 2012 compared with December 2013. Sales value increased by 6.1%. Prices in the retail sector increased by 0.5% according to the implied price deflator.

The various contributions of the four main sectors of the retail industry were, for every pound spent in retail, 42p was spent in food shops, 41p in non-food shops, 6p in non-store retailing and 11p in stores selling automotive fuel.

The amount spent in December 2013's five week shopping period was £44.1bn compared with £30.1bn in November's four weeks and £42.6bn in the five weeks of December 2012. The average weekly spend in December 2013 was £8.8bn, £7.5bn in November and £8.5bn in December 2012.

Average weekly online spend in December 2013 was £675.4m an increase of 11.8% on December 2012. It accounted for 11.8% of all retail spending (excl. automotive fuel). Department stores reported that investment in their websites had increased online sales but detracted from store-based sales.

Retail Sales Down In January

The year-on-year seasonally adjusted estimates of volume of sales in retail fell by 0.6%. The decrease was seen mainly in the smaller stores of 0-9 employees while large stores experienced an increase particularly in the food sector. The snow was cited as a reason for shoppers staying away from the smaller shops. Large stores reported an increase in online shopping.

Weaker Sales Growth In December

Retail sales increased more weakly in December than in previous months but continued to show the upward trends seen in the sector since August 2011. The quantity of goods bought (volume) increased by 0.3% compared with December 2011 and the amount spent (value) is estimated to have increased by 0.7%. It is the lowest year-on-year growth since 1998 (excepting December 2010 and the winter weather conditions).

The monthly comparison with November 2012 shows a fall of 0.1% in both the quantity bought and the amount spent. Online sales fell more slowly between November and December and were 1.2% higher compared with December 2011 but 0.1% lower than November 2012. Internet sales accounted for 10.6% of all retail sales. There was an estimated spend of £8.5bn in December (£8.4bn in 2011).

The Worst January Sales Growth For 15 Years

Retail sales got off to a bad start in 2010 with a like-for-like fall of 0.7% in January 2010 compared with the 1.1% rise in January 2009. On a total basis, January sales in 2010 reported an increase of 1.2% compared with the 3.2% of January 2009.

The weather was a factor as snow seemed to affect shoppers. Food sales went up in the first week of January while non-food sales suffered, especially discretionary items. Food sales slowed down and non-food sales improved slightly as the weather got better.

Internet, mail order and telephone sales were 14.6% higher in January 2010 than January 2009 and 26.5% in December. The snow may also have been a factor in the improvement of online sales. There was growth in the number of new online customers. Non-store retailing is the fastest growing sector but it still only accounts for 4% of total sales.
