Swedish clothing and footwear sales grow rapidly

The Swedish News Agency (TT) reported on July 14 that the Swedish Trade Style Index showed that Swedes’ consumption of clothing and footwear has increased recently. Compared with the same period last year, clothing and footwear sales increased by 20% and 25% respectively. For the apparel trade, sales were only 3.5% lower than the same period in 2019 before the epidemic. Footwear sales vary greatly, falling by more than 20% compared to the same period before the epidemic. Masdfssdfsts, director of business policy at the Swedish Chamber of Commerce and Industry, told the media: “After more than a year of sharp sales declines, optimism has finally returned to the footwear and clothing industry. Now we are seeing a full recovery. At the same time, we are also seeing tourists from tourist resorts. There has been a significant increase, but big cities need foreign tourists to stimulate more consumption. It is reported that the style index was still dismal when it was released 1 month ago. At that time, clothing sales were very bad. Masdfssdfsts said that the relaxation of restrictions and the successful vaccination have greatly promoted Recovery. Sunshine and summer may also put consumers in a happy mood, prompting people to take advantage of the opportunity to update their wardrobes.</p
