In a month where Spring buying would typically set in, online clothing sales were down -23.1% Year-on-Year (YoY), according to the latest IMRG Capgemini Online Retail Index, which tracks the online sales performance of over 200 retailers. Digging deeper into fashion sales, menswear was down a staggering -42.9% and footwear was down -32.8%.<\/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\">Indicative of a very mixed set of results on a category level, the warmer weather and increased amount of time spent in the garden during the lockdown sent online garden sales soaring to +94.4% YoY. Beauty also continued to build on strong February sales, spiking to +36.0%, while electricals recorded March\u2019s third standout performance \u2013 surging by +40.2%. In fact, during week 2 of the month when the Government raised the outbreak risk from moderate to high, electrical retailers saw sales jump by +47.7% YoY as consumers turned to home entertainment and raced to set up their offices.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the category results doing their best to balance each other out, the overall growth for March limped in at -5.1% YoY \u2013 well below the 12-, 6- and 3-month rolling averages (+4.5%, +6.7% and -2.1% respectively) but still above last month\u2019s performance by +2.6% (MoM). Perhaps marking the start of stockpiling, March started off with poor online sales for the first fortnight, but seemed to recover in weeks 3 and 4 following the Government\u2019s announcement of official home isolation rules on March 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, as they are forced to shift more operations into the digital sphere, multichannel retailers outperformed their online-only counterparts for the first time since April 2019, recording growth of -4.0% versus -5.5%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lucy Gibbs, managing consultant \u2013 Retail Insight,<\/strong> <strong>Capgemini<\/strong>: <em>\u201cOnline sales performance this month is a mixed story, as retailers are faced with a multitude of challenges. \u2018Non-essential\u2019 stores closed their doors on the high street which led to the majority of multichannel retailers gaining a boost in online performance in the latter half of the month as consumers channelled their demand into digital.&nbsp; However, the changing demand and customer needs have also polarised impacts on different product categories where the appetite for fashion dropped off significantly compared to garden, home and electrical which are seeing unusually high demand as we spend more time at home.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Next month we are likely to see a continued rise in online demand however it has never been more important to listen to consumer needs to respond to new spending patterns, communicate in a way that resonates with the concerns and needs of customers and using data points to inform next steps as we navigate through the changes\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Andy Mulcahy, strategy and insight director, IMRG<\/strong>: <em>\u201cThere is a bit of a myth going around at the moment that online sales are booming. It\u2019s more accurate to say some online retailers are experiencing huge demand, outstripping even that seen over Black Friday, because so many people are in the exact same situation \u2013 ie stuck at home. That has created very lopsided demand among product categories.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cPeople simply don\u2019t have much need for new clothes or shoes at the moment, which is why at the overall level sales growth is down. How and when a stronger balance in demand might be established is a pressing question for retailers currently on the wrong side of that divide.\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.
