Retail turnover accelerated its growth in July, and specialized stores with footwear, textiles and drugstores prospered

Retail turnover in 2024 accelerated its year-on-year growth above the level of 5%.

Year-on-year higher turnover at constant prices was achieved by 5 out of 9 components of retail trade. The result of the entire sector was the most significantly affected by the turnover increase by 12.4% in specialized stores, e.g. footwear, textiles, drugstores or pharmacies (specialized sale of other goods) and the higher turnover of e-shops (sales outside stores, stands and markets) by 21.6%, which is, however, affected by the change in the structure and number of businesses included in this sector. The turnover growth in the most significant component of retail trade, in large hyper- and supermarkets (non-specialized stores) by 4.9%, also had a significant impact.

On the contrary, components with year-on-year lower turnover had a dampening effect on retail turnover growth. These were mainly gas stations (specialized sale of fuel) with a decline by 9% and stores of ICT equipment with a decrease by 12.7%.
