resulting in a 33.7% decline compared to February Household consumption expenditure on goods - April 2020
In April 2020, household consumption expenditure on goods fell by 20.2% in volume* compared to March. It is the second consecutive month of record declines since the beginning of the time series in 1980. Manufactured good consumption fell again sharply (–42.6% after –42.1%), energy expenditure dropped (–22.8% after –10.2%) and food consumption declined sharply after rising strongly in March (–5.4% after +9.2%).
In the context of the lockdown of the French population that was set up mid-March, methodological adjustments have been decided to overcome the lack of certain indicators and estimate as well as possible the decrease in consumption. These adjustments are detailed in the methodology note related to the publication of the first estimate of the Quarterly Accounts. In this context, estimates could be more revised than usual in further publications.

Manufactured goods: –42.6%
Manufactured good consumption slipped again in April, as a result of a very sharp decline in durable good purchases, textile-clothing spending as well as other manufactured good consumption.
Durables: –39.2%
In April, spending on durable goods fell sharply again (–39.2% after –44.7%). The consumption of transport equipment dropped by 36.4%, due to exceptionally low sales in the automotive sector. Spending on housing equipment also dropped, especially furniture and household appliance sales. Eyeglass purchases decreased sharply.
Textile-clothing: –67.4 %
Spending on textile-clothing decreased again sharply compared to March. Clothing and footwear sales were badly affected by store closures.
