October 2021 China Retail Sales: Stuck in Mid-Single-Digit Growth

What's Inside

In October 2021, total year-over-year sales growth accelerated, but its slow pace is a challenge for China’s economic recovery.

We review monthly data for retail sales in China in total and by sector, including the following: 

• Retail sales growth over the last 13 months 
• Retail sales growth for 15 sectors across food and nonfood retail, for each of the latest three months 
• Growth in online retail sales

We also present data for two-year retail growth compared to September 2019, prior to the Covid-19 outbreak.
