Australia Retail Statistics

澳大利亚零售业统计数据

As expected, a busy Christmas in stores was followed by a quieter January, with traffic down significantly Month-on-Month.

恰如预期，在度过繁忙的圣诞节之后，澳大利亚商店迎来了相对平静的1月，客流量月环比明显下降。

A Year-on-Year dip reflects a more buoyant Q1 2017, however analysts in Australia are encouraged by signs of improved sentiment towards the economy and family finances in early 2018.

同比下降反映出2017年第一季度的经济增长更为强劲，不过，澳大利亚的分析师们为2018年初经济和家庭财务状况呈现好转迹象感到欣慰。

China Retail Statistics

中国零售业统计数据

Chinese retailers may have been disappointed to start 2018 with a Year-on-Year decline in traffic, but as is widely reported, retail remains a key driver of the super-power’s economic growth. Chinese New Year in February is expected to deliver its traditional boost to traffic andspending, so sentiment is good.

中国零售商可能会对2018年初的客流量下降感到失望，但据广泛报道，零售业仍是这个超级大国经济增长的关键推动力。预计2月份的中国农历新年有望迎来传统的客流量和消费增长，因此市场情绪良好。

The Ministry of Commerce reported that China’s major retail sales enterprises achieved strongsales growth last year, as the country’s stabilising economy spurred consumption.

商务部报告称，随着中国的稳定经济对消费起到的推动作用，中国主要的零售企业去年实现了强劲的销售增长。

HongKong’s retailers enjoyed a fantastic +4.5% uplift in Year-on-Year retail traffic in January, reflecting continued sales buoyancy.

1月份香港的零售客流量同比增长了4.5％，反映出了持续强劲的销售状况。

According to an ACCA survey, finance professionalsin Hong Kong are six times more optimistic about the city’s economic outlook in2018 compared to last year. This is thanks to economic growth in mainland China, a firm US economy, low interest rates and a government plan to ease tax burdens on companies.

根据ACCA的一项调查显示，香港的金融专业人士对2018年香港经济前景的乐观程度是去年的6倍。这要归功于中国内地的经济增长、美国经济的坚挺、低利率以及政府减轻企业税负的计划。

Japan RetailStatistics

日本零售业统计数据

Flat retail traffic in January – despite two holidays occurring a week apart from each other in the beginning of the month — suggests Japanese stores and malls must work hard to boost interest in physical space inthe coming months.

尽管在月初相隔一周的时间相继两个假日，1月份的零售客流量仍然表现平平平，这表明，在未来的几个月里，日本的商店和购物中心必须努力提高人们对实体空间的兴趣。

A weaker yen and growth in budget-carrier flights to Japan are both benefiting department stores, says a Forbes report, and efforts to bring in more foreign visitors by introducing smartphone payment options,for instance, are paying off.

福布斯的一份报告称，日元疲软和飞往日本的廉价航班加开均对百货公司有利，他们可以通过引入智能手机支付选择等方法来吸引更多外国游客，这方面的努力正在取得成效。

UK Retail Statistics

英国零售业统计数据

Traffic into UK stores slipped by -3.1% Year-on-Year in January, with shoppers choosing to avoid freezing and wet weather conditions. Official UK retail sales figures show an increase of 0.6% on a like-for-like basis from January 2017, when they had decreased 0.6% from the preceding year.

由于购物者选择避开寒冷和潮湿的天气，英国商店1月份的客流量同比下降了3.1%。英国官方公布的零售销售数据显示，这个数字与2017年1月份同比增长了0.6％，而与上一年相比下降了0.6％。

The outlook remains cautious. Although inflation is expected to ease in 2018, the BRC warns that consumers are still seeing wages fall in real terms. There is also much uncertainty around Brexit negotiations, causing ongoing challenges for UK retailers.

对零售市场的前景仍需持谨慎态度。尽管预计通货膨胀在2018年会有所缓解，但据BRC提醒，消费者仍然会看到实际工资的下降。英国的脱欧谈判仍存在很多不确定性，这给英国零售商带来了持续的挑战。

France Retail Statistics

法国零售业统计数据

While January is a slow traffic month in many European countries, French stores have the annual winter sales – les soldesd’hiver – as a footfall driver in fashion and homewares (as do retailers inItaly, Poland, Spain, Portugal). For 2018, Year-on-Year traffic growth in France was hard to achieve after a successful January 2017, so French retailers will be working hard to impress shoppers as the spring ranges arrive inFebruary.

尽管对于许多欧洲国家来说1月份的客流量较低，但法国商店每年的冬季大促销（冬季打折季）会大幅提高时尚和家居用品方面的客流量（意大利、波兰、西班牙和葡萄牙的零售商也是如此）。继2017年1月份的客流量增长大获成功后，法国在2018年很难实现客流量的同比增长，因此在春季到来的2月份，法国零售商将需要更加努力来吸引消费者。

In terms of the wider economy, France’s business confidence reached a 10-year high at the end of 2017, and consumer confidence is stable, thanks to the country’s strong economic outlook.

就整体经济而言，法国的商业信心指数在2017年底达到了10年来的最高点，消费者信心指数也保持稳定，这要归功于该国强劲的经济前景。

继12月份的客流量增长之后，爱尔兰商店1月份的客流量同比略有下降。

Italy Retail Statistics

意大利零售业统计数据

After a hugely successful December of Christmas trading, Italy’s retailers experienced less traffic in stores in January, in line with seasonal expectations. The winter sales began from  5th January which could explain the busiest day being recorded as Sunday 14th when bargain-hunting reached a peak.

继去年12月份的圣诞节交易取得巨大成功之后，意大利1月份的商店客流量有所减少，与季节性预期相符。冬季大促销从1月5日开始，这可以解释为什么促销活动的客流量在14日星期日达到顶峰，使之成为最繁忙的一天。

With the inflation rate now under control, retailers have high hopes of a buoyant Q1of 2018 and beyond. In January, Italy’s lowest inflation rate since December of 2016 was recorded, as price growth slowed for food and transport.

目前的通货膨胀率处于控制之下，零售商对2018年第一季度及之后的强劲增长寄予厚望。由于食品和运输价格的增长放缓，意大利的通货膨胀率在 1月份达到了自2016年12月以来的最低点。

Spain Retail Statistics

西班牙零售业统计数据

Spanish stores achieved a +6.8% hike in Month-on-Month traffic for January, following impressive December growth. January’s uplift was mostlikely driven by impulse shopping when the winter sales went live. However, YoY traffic was flat.

继去年12月份的强劲增长之后，西班牙商店1月份的客流量月环比增长了6.8％。1月份的增长很可能是由于冬季大促销活动导致的冲动购物。然而，客流量与去年同期持平。

The OECD reports that Spain’s economic growth is projected to moderate but remain robust in 2018 and 2019, which is very encouraging for the retail community.

据经合组织报告称，预计西班牙的经济增长将放缓，但在2018年和2019年仍保持强劲，这对于零售业来说是非常鼓舞人心的消息。
