2020- n° 161In May, household consumption expenditure on goods bounced back sharply but remains
below its February level (–7.2%) Household consumption expenditure on goods - May 2020
In May 2020, household consumption expenditure on goods bounced back sharply but stays below its February level (–7.2% in volume* compared to February after –32.0% between April and February). Manufactured good consumption increased compared to the one of April but without returning to its level of February (–14.0% in May after –62.4% in April, still compared to February). Energy expenditure also remains below February’s (–14.3%), despite a rebound in May. Food consumption remains at a high level compared to February (+4.1%).
In the context of the lockdown of the French population that was set up between mid-March and mid-May, 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. Furthermore, the large month-to-month changes, both upwards and downwards, are difficult to interpret. The evolution rates commented in this publication therefore refer to February, the last complete month before the lockdown, in order to better estimate the difference with the pre-lockdown level of consumer spending.
- Manufactured goods: –14.0% compared to February, after –62.4% in April
- Durables: –19.0% compared to February, after –69.1% in April
- Textile-clothing: –16.9% compared to February, after –74.0% in April
- Other engineered goods: –4.0% compared to February, after –44.1% in April
- Energy: –14.3% compared to February, after –32.8% in April
- Food products: +4.1% compared to February, after +3.4% in April
- March and April 2020 estimates are revised upwards

graphiqueTotal consumption of goods
- Source: INSEE
Manufactured goods: –14.0% compared to February, after –62.4% in April
Manufactured good consumption was still relatively low in May, mainly because of the very low level of durable good purchases and, to a lesser extent, textile-clothing spending. However, the consumption of "other manufactured goods" almost returned to its February level.
Durables: –19.0% compared to February, after –69.1% in April
In May, spending on durable goods was still far from its February level (–19.0%). In particular, the consumption of transport equipment bounced back but stays by 25.1% under its level of February, after –76.5% in April. On the contrary, spending on housing equipment bounced back to its level of February (–0.1% after –58.1% in April): indeed, furniture and household appliance sales were very dynamic, after two months of sharp decrease.
Textile-clothing: –16.9% compared to February, after –74.0% in April
Spending on textile-clothing is gradually returning to normal, although remaining clearly below its pre-lockdown level. Indeed, in May, despite a clear rebound compared to April, clothing and footwear sales were still very affected by the closing of stores at the beginning of the month.
Other engineered goods: –4.0% compared to February, after –44.1% in April
In May, the consumption of "other manufactured goods" remained slightly below its February level (–4.0%).
