Total consumption of goods

  • Source: INSEE

Manufactured goods: +3.4%

In February, manufactured goods consumption recovered (+3.4% after –13.2%), driven by the rebound in durable goods consumption (+2.3% after –10.3%) and clothing and textiles purchases (+15.8% after –28.0%). This rebound, linked to the postponement and the extension of the sales period, has been probably limited by the strengthening of sanitary constraints and the closure of non-food shopping centers of more than 20,000 m².

Durables: +2.3%

In February, spending on durable goods rebounded (+2.3% after –10.3% in January). It was supported by housing equipment expenditure (+11.3% after –24.7%), in particular furniture and household appliances purchases.

Conversely, purchases of transport equipment fell by 3.5%, due to a sharp drop in purchases of new cars.

Textile-clothing: +15.8%

In February, clothing and textiles expenditure rebounded strongly (+15.8% after –28.0% in January). This rebound was linked to the shift in the dates of the winter sales, and their extension over the whole month of February (from January 20 to March 2, 2021). However, over the whole January-February 2021 period, spending was 4.6% lower than a year earlier.

Other engineered goods: –1.7%

In February, consumption of "other manufactured goods" decreased again (–1.7% after –7.6% in January), due to a further drop in sales of perfume. Purchases of DIY items were slightly down, but still high compared to the previous year.
