2020- n° 279Household consumption expenditure on goods decreased sharply in September (–5.1%) Household consumption expenditure on goods - September 2020
In September 2020, household consumption expenditure on goods decreased sharply (–5.1% in volume* after +2.2% in August). After having bounced back strongly on the way out of lockdown, household consumption of goods is thus back below its February level (–0.5%), for the first time since May. This decline is due to the significant drop in purchases of manufactured goods (–6.8%) and food products (–4.8%), and to a lesser extent of energy expenditure (–0.9%).
Over the whole third quarter 2020, household consumption on goods bounced back markedly (+16.4% after –7.1% in the second quarter), exceeding its level of the third quarter 2020 (+1.3%).

graphiqueTotal consumption of goods
- Source: INSEE
Manufactured goods: clear decrease
In September, manufactured good consumption decreased sharply (–6.8% after +3.5% in August), mainly due to a decrease in textile-clothing spending (–15.9% after +22.0%). The decline in spending on durable goods intensified (–5.1% after –1.5%). Manufactured good purchases decreased (–3.0% after +1.3% in August and –2.9% in July).
Over the whole third quarter 2020, manufactured good consumption bounced back markedly (+38.9% after –11.7% in the second quarter), exceeding clearly its level of the third quarter 2020 (+4.3%).
Durables: further decline
In September, durable good spending fell (–5.1%) for the third consecutive month, due to the further decline in the consumption of transport equipment (–6.0% after –5.6%). In addition, housing equipment purchases (household appliances, electronics) decreased sharply (–5.8% after +6.3%). These remain higher 9.5% above their February 2020 level.
Textile-clothing: aftermath of the sharp increase in August
Textile-clothing spending decreased very strongly in September (–15.9% after +22.0% in August), by aftermath of the sharp increase in August. This aftermath was especially due to the postponement of the summer sales dates, set this year from July 15 to August 11. Textile-clothing spending in September stayed 2.4% above their February level.
Other engineered goods: decrease
In September, the consumption of "other manufactured goods" decline (–3.0% after +1.3%), due to the decrease in perfume sales.
