Retail businesses across India witnesses 13% sales growth in June: RAI

19 Jul 2022 Evaluate

Retailers Association of India (RAI) has said that retail businesses across India witnessed 13 per cent sales growth in June 2022 compared to the pre-pandemic levels of the same month in 2019. It said although sales last month were higher than the pre-pandemic levels, the second half of June was not very encouraging, and the impact of inflation on consumer spending is still a worry, which may affect the upcoming festive sales.

As per RAI's latest business survey, retail businesses in the eastern region posted the highest growth last month, with a rise of 17 per cent over June 2019, followed by the north at 16 per cent, west at 11 per cent and south at 9 per cent. While June 2022 has witnessed growth as compared to the same period before the pandemic, the rate of growth has definitely slowed down. Many retailers have indicated that the second half of June was not very encouraging as there weren't too many celebratory occasions, such as weddings, to drive sales.

RAI further said the headwinds of inflation on consumer spending are still a worry and may impact the upcoming festive fervour. In terms of categories, it said sports goods grew 29 per cent last month against June 2019, followed by jewellery at 27 per cent, consumer durables and electronics, and quick service restaurants at 16 per cent each. Apparel and clothing and footwear categories saw growth of 14 per cent each last month over June 2019.
