Household consumption expenditure on goods fell sharply in April 2021 (–8.3%) Household consumption expenditure on goods - April 2021
Household consumption expenditure on goods fell in April (–8.3% in volume* compared to March 2021). This fall was mainly due to the manufactured goods purchases (–18.9%), and was explained by the implementation of the third lockdown from April 3rd 2021 on the whole territory. Energy expenditure fell only slightly (–0.6% after +1.6%) as did food consumption (–0.2% after +0.7%).
Spending is thus 9.5% below its average level in Q4 2019. This decline in consumption is, however, less severe than those observed during the first lockdown in April 2020 (–31.4%) or during the second lockdown in November 2020 (–13.6%).

graphiqueTotal consumption of goods

- Source: INSEE
Manufactured goods: –18.9%
In April, manufactured goods consumption fell (–18.9% after –2.0% in March), driven in particular by the very strong decline in expenditure on clothing and textiles (–50.2%). Purchases of durable goods (–11.3%) and other manufactured goods (–13.6%) also fell sharply.
Durables: –11.3%
In April, spending on durable goods fell again (–11.3% after –3.1%). Purchases of housing equipment fell sharply (–20.7%) as the closure of non-essential stores led to a drop in sales of furniture and household appliances. Purchases of transport equipment fell (–2.8% after –1.8%) for the third consecutive month.
Textile-clothing: –50.2%
In April, spending on clothing and textiles was halved (–50.2%), due to shop closures throughout the country.
Other engineered goods: –13.6%
In April, consumption of "other manufactured goods" fell (–13.6%), due to the very sharp drop in sales of games and toys, sports equipment and, to a lesser extent, sales of perfumes and hygiene articles.
