In September 2022, the total turnover in large-scale food retailing (including sales not in stores) was virtually stable (-0.1%), after two decreases in August (-0.5%) and July (-0.9%). The in-store sales kept increasing for both food products (+1.0%, as in August) and non-food products (+1.1% after +1.2%). Concerning the sales of automotive fuel, the turnover fell again sharply (-6.3% after -7.3% in August), especially due to the drop in prices resulting from the increase in the reduction at the pump (30-centimes-per-litre fuel discount), set up by the government on 1st September. However, turnover remained at a very high level in the context of high energy prices.

The in-store sales turnover kept decreasing in supermarkets (-0.7% after -1.0%), while it started to grow again in hypermarkets (+0.5% after a virtual stability in August).

Virtual stability of large-scale food retailing turnover over a month (-0.1%)

In September 2022, the total turnover in large-scale food retailing (including sales not in stores) was virtually stable (-0.1%), after two decreases in August (-0.5%) and July (-0.9%). The in-store sales kept increasing for both food products (+1.0%, as in August) and non-food products (+1.1% after +1.2%). Concerning the sales of automotive fuel, the turnover fell again sharply (-6.3% after -7.3% in August), especially due to the drop in prices resulting from the increase in the reduction at the pump (30-centimes-per-litre fuel discount), set up by the government on 1st September. However, turnover remained at a very high level in the context of high energy prices.

The in-store sales turnover kept decreasing in supermarkets (-0.7% after -1.0%), while it started to grow again in hypermarkets (+0.5% after a virtual stability in August).

Increase in turnover over a year (+6.5%)

Resulting mainly from price rises, the turnover of the third quarter of 2022 in large-scale food retailing increased (+6.5%) compared to that of the third quarter of 2021. The turnover grew in food products (+4.9%) and non-food products (+0.6%). It increased very strongly in the sales of automotive fuel (+18.4%), mainly due to the sharp rise in prices over a year.

Year on year, the sales over the third quarter increased both in supermarkets (+4.6%) and hypermarkets (+8.1%).
