Impact of COVID-19 on the Retail Sector in China, 2020 – Consumer Behaviour and Purchasing Patterns on Food, Non-Food, Drinks and Personal Care – ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Retail in China: Coronavirus (COVID-19) Country impact" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Coronavirus (COVID-19) country report analyses how the pandemic will impact retail spend in China.

The lockdown in China and the following path to normality due to the COVID-19 outbreak is expected to wipe off 3 trillion from the country's retail market in 2020, causing a 9.5% fall on 2019.

The retail market is forecast to recover in the second half of 2020, as consumers regain confidence and start visiting stores more frequently.

Key Highlights

  • Food & grocery retailers and drug stores registered strong growth amid the pandemic as customers stockpiled essentials and hygiene products and refrained from purchasing big ticket items.
  • The release of lockdown has fueled the appetite of wealthy Chinese consumers to spend again on luxury goods - particularly if they postponed these purchases over Chinese New Year.
