In November 2021, a rebound of large-scale food retailing turnover

In November 2021, the turnover in large-scale food retailing picked up (+0.7%) after a fall in October (−0.6%). This rebound concerned both food (+1.4% after −0.7%) and non-food products (+1.3% after −2.4%). Concerning the sales of automotive fuel, the turnover dwindled in November (−1.3%), following the sharp increase of the two previous months (+6.9% in October and +3.6% in September).

The turnover bounced back in supermarkets (+1.2% after −1.6%) and sped up in hypermarkets (+0.9% after +0.2%).

Increase in turnover over a year (+5.3%)

The turnover of the past three months (September to November 2021) in large-scale food retailing increased (+5.3%) when compared with that of the same period one year earlier. While the sales decreased in food products (−1.8%), they increased markedly in non-food products (+4.8%), with a base effect due to the restrictive measures that had been put in place during the second lockdown on October 29, 2020. Owing to this base effect, combined with the rise in fuel prices, the sales grew very strongly in automotive fuel (+47.1%).

Year on year, the sales from September to November grew both in supermarkets (+4.4%) and hypermarkets (+6.6%).
