Great Britain: department store sales volume index monthly 2015-2023
Despite some fluctuations, sales volume in department and other non-specialized, non-food stores in Great Britain increased overall between January 2015 and May 2018. From June 2018 onwards, monthly sales volume in these type of retail stores started to decrease, plunging in April and May 2020, and again in January and December 2021, most possibly due to the coronavirus outbreak and related lockdowns. As of January 2023, department store sales volume index stood at 89.3 points.
