Stores selling furniture and home furnishings, clothing stores, drugstores and do-it-yourself stores (including kitchens and floors) had higher turnover in September 2025 than in September 2024. However, the turnover of stores selling recreational articles, consumer electronics, and shoes and leather goods was lower than in September 2024.
Stores selling food and luxury goods achieved 4.1 percent more turnover in September than in September 2024. The sales volume was 0.6 percent higher than a year earlier. Supermarket turnover was 4.8 percent higher, while turnover in specialty stores was 0.2 percent lower.
