Overview
-
Despite the loss of one weekend, the domestic retail sales surpassed YoY. When excluding the negative impact of the reduced holidays, the customer count remained steady from April and exceeded the last year in both DS store and GMS businesses. In July, sales of rain-related products such as rain gear increased due to the rainy season and frequent heavy rainfalls. Grocery and daily consumables have continued to perform well, following the trend from last month. The impact of the reduced holidays resulted in a 3.1% decline.
-
The discount store business has experienced strong sales of heat-management products, including powerful household fans/air coolers, cool-feeling clothing, skincare items, and UV umbrellas. However, weekend weather disruptions have decreased sales of fireworks, waterplay/outdoor products YoY. In contrast, indoor entertainment items like card games and toys have become more popular during summer vacation. The loss of one weekend has resulted in a 3.2% decline.
-
The GMS business has been driven by strong sales in grocery. In particular, fresh fish sales have been boosted by successful promotional events, such as setting up an “unagi (eel) grilling booth” for Doyo no Ushi no Hi, which is a summer tradition in Japan. Additionally, sales of rice, prepared foods, and fresh produce have increased. However, while non-grocery items like daily consumables and toys have grown, the apparel category has struggled due to a delay in seasonal demand and a rebound effect from last month. The loss of one weekend has resulted in a 2.3% overall sales decline.
