Energy: clear rebound

In October, energy consumption rebounded sharply (+6.4% after –0.1%). Gas and electricity expenditure rose sharply (+10.4% after –0.3% in September) due to relatively cold temperatures in October.

Breakdown of energy

  • Source: INSEE

In October, manufactured good consumption stagnated (–0.1% after –5.7% in September). The increase in durable goods purchases (+0.7%) and other manufactured goods (+0.9%) was offset by a decline in spending on clothing and textiles (–3.9%).

Durables: on the rise

In October, durable goods spending recovered (+0.7% after –3.8%) due to the increase in transportation equipment purchases (+0.6%) and housing equipment purchases (+0.6%). In particular, car purchases were on the rise again after two months of sharp decline. Housing equipment purchases increased anew (+0.6% after –5.0% in September), due to a sharp rebound in household appliances purchases.

Textile-clothing: further decline

In October, textile-clothing spending fell for the second consecutive month (–3.9% after –14.4% in September). Sales of clothing and shoes fell sharply.

Other engineered goods: on the rise

In October, the consumption of "other manufactured goods" increased (+0.9% after –2.6%), due to a rebound in perfumes sales and a very strong rise in games and toys sales.

The evolution of September was revised upwards

The evolution of household consumption expenditure on goods for September 2020 was revised upwards to –4.4% instead of –5.1%. Since the previous publication, new information has been integrated and the seasonal adjustment coefficients have been updated, excluding March to October from the estimation period.

For more information

*Volumes are measured at chain-link previous year prices (2014 euro billions) and all figures are trading-day and seasonally adjusted.

Scope and definition - Consumption expenditure on goods is compliant with the national-accounts definition (NAF Rev. 2). In 2010, they accounted for half of total households’ consumption expenditure. They are divided into three main items:

Food: products of agriculture, forestry and fishing (AZ), food, drinks and tobacco (C1)

Energy: mining products, as well as water, gas, electricity and air conditioning, sanitation and waste management (DE), and refined and coked products (C2).

Engineered goods: computers, electronic, electrical and optical goods (C3), transport equipment (C4), textiles and clothing, products made of leather, wood, paper, metals, plastic, rubber, chemicals, minerals, furniture, hardware, drugs (C5). Within this heading are distinguished “durable” goods which include transport equipment, household durables (furniture, household appliances, etc.) and other durable goods (jewelry, watches, glasses, medical devices, etc.).

The manufactured goods correspond to all the products C1, C2, C3, C4, C5.
