Warning

The monthly survey of large-scale food retail activities (Emagsa) ends after the December 2022 collection. This issue is thus the last of the Informations Rapides collection dedicated to the “Turnover in large-scale food retailing”. The corresponding index series are also stopped after this month's release but will remain available in the insee.fr database.

Insee will nevertheless continue to publish early information (+30 days) on retail trade as a whole, in the Informations Rapides publication dedicated to the Sales volume in wholesale and retail trade, which includes an “Early estimate” paragraph. These early estimates are calculated (for the most part) from two quickly available sources: cash register data from the main food retailers, and CB bank card transaction data. This section on the early estimates is intended to be enriched progressively with a sectoral breakdown during 2023.

Sharp fall of large-scale food retailing turnover over a month (‑2.1%)

In December 2022, the total turnover in large-scale food retailing (including sales not in stores) kept decreasing (‑2.1%), more so than in November (‑0.4%). The in-store sales fell back sharply for food products (‑2.4% after +1.6%). They bounced back slightly for non-food products (+0.3% after a virtual stability in November). Regarding the sales of automotive fuel, the turnover fell again in December (‑2.2% after ‑3.9%).

The in-store sales turnover remained on a downward trend in supermarkets (‑1.7% after ‑0.9%), while it slowed down in hypermarkets (+0.2% after +0.6% in November).

Increase in turnover over a year (+4.6%)

The turnover of the fourth quarter of 2022 in large-scale food retailing went up by 4.6% compared to that of the fourth quarter of 2021, resulting mainly from price rises in food products and automotive fuel. The turnover grew sharply for food products (+6.1%), and fell for non-food products (‑1.2%). It increased markedly in the sales of automotive fuel (+4.0%).

Compared to that of the fourth quarter of 2021, the sales of the fourth quarter of 2022 was up both in supermarkets (+4.9%) and hypermarkets (+5.1%).
