In 2011, sales including VAT in retail and commercial handicrafts (bakeries, pastry shops, charcuteries) progressed by 3.0% in value. In volume, growth in sales (+ 1.3%) was close to that of 2010; it was well below the average rate of the period 2002-2007 (+ 2.7% per year). Sales by small general food stores and frozen goods stores slowed in 2011 (+ 0.3%). As in 2010, the non-food sectors were the most dynamic, although the volume of sales slowed. After an exceptional 2010, sales by large stores and other general non-food retail outlets (bazaars) continued to progress, although at a slower pace (+ 2.2%). In specialised non-food retail, the most active sector was that of information and communication equipment (+ 10.2%). Other household equipment and, to a lesser extent, cultural and leisure goods progressed again (+ 2.6% and + 1.4%). The clothing sector, however, was sluggish after the upturn of 2010. Other personal equipment (perfumes, optical, leather goods, jewellery...) confirmed the sharp upswing of 2010 (+ 4.4% after + 4.8%). In pharmacies the rise in sales (+ 3.4% in volume) was close to that of 2010: it remained lower than the average rate of the years 2006-2009 (+ 5.6%). Fuel sales slipped back slightly in volume (- 0.7%), but increased sharply in value (+ 16.7%) due to major price tensions. Lastly, non-store retail was dynamic (+ 2.6%), thanks to both the pick-up in sales on stalls and at markets and an upturn in catalogue distances sales.
