This marks the second strongest YoY growth since lockdown measures were put in place, according to the latest <em>IMRG Capgemini Online Retail Index<\/em>, which tracks the online sales performance of over 200 retailers.<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-cg-blocks-group undefined section section--article-content\"><div class=\"article-main-content\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-11 col-lg-10 offset-md-1 offset-lg-1\"><div class=\"article-text article-quote-text\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the reopening of their physical stores on June 15, multichannel retailers recorded online sales growth of +4% WoW. Compared to 2019, this represented a staggering increase of +71% YoY, which is the highest growth ever recorded for this group.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taking a closer look at how the categories performed, the weekly results were primarily driven by strong sales in Home &amp; Garden and Electricals \u2013 up +114.7% YoY and +99.9% YoY respectively. Health &amp; Beauty sales also rose by +70.5% YoY, but were down by -2.5% WoW. With many Health &amp; Beauty stores open during lockdown, however, this dip may not have been influenced by the high street reopening. Meanwhile, despite some steep discounting, online clothing sales plateaued at 0% growth WoW.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lucy Gibbs, managing consultant \u2013 Retail Insight,<\/strong> <strong>Capgemini<\/strong>: <em>\u201cMultichannel retailers saw online sales go from strength to strength despite a hypothesis that the ability to spend in re-opened stores would decrease the reliance on online shopping. As lockdown eases in an attempt to shift back towards the former pre-COVID-19 norm, the question remains which consumer behaviours and trends will return, and which will have changed for the long term? Have consumers shopping habits irreversibly swung towards Online shopping rather than Instore shopping?&nbsp; Right now, it may be too early to unpick the patterns from consumers\u2019 pent up demand being released by Governments decision to relax these measures, alongside an increased drive for consumer spending; it appears moving retail front of mind is also potentially causing a halo effect in digital sales. \u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Andy Mulcahy, strategy and insight director, IMRG<\/strong>: <em>\u201cAt first glance, it might seem a bit odd that the multichannel retailers \u2013 those with stores \u2013 recorded the highest online growth ever (+71%) in the week that their stores reopened. It seems that all the fanfare around high streets opening again did spur an increase in sales activity, as people perhaps start to feel things are returning to something a bit closer to \u2018normal\u2019, but what that normal is going to be received some clarity. The bulk of that activity remains focused online, with shoppers visiting stores in much lower numbers but with a clearly focused intention to complete a purchase, as opposed to just browsing. It\u2019s early days and the 2m rule is set to be reduced to 1m+ soon, but a revealing indication of how shopper behaviour is now structured perhaps.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>-ENDS-<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About the \u2018IMRG Capgemini Online Retail Index\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The IMRG Capgemini Online Retail Index, which was started in April 2000, tracks \u2018online sales\u2019, which we define as \u2018transactions completed fully, including payment, via interactive channels\u2019 from any location, including in-store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>*Please note from January 2020 the Index no longer includes data from the travel sector<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About IMRG<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For over 20 years, IMRG (Interactive Media in Retail Group) has been the voice of e-retail in the UK.
