UK retail sales declined 0.8% in September
In the three months to September 2018, the quantity bought in retail sales increased by 1.2% when compared with the previous three months, with strong sales in "other stores" and online retailing.
The increase of 3.9% for the quantity of goods bought in "other stores" for the three months to September 2018 was the largest overall contributor to the growth in total retail sales, due largely to strong growth in watches and jewellery stores.
In September 2018, the quantity bought declined by 0.8% when compared with August 2018, due mainly to a large fall of 1.5% in food stores; the largest decline in food store sales since October 2015.
When compared with September 2017, the quantity bought in September 2018 increased by 3.0%, with growth across all sectors except department stores.
Online sales as a proportion of all retailing fell slightly to 17.8% in September 2018 from the 18.0% reported
in August 2018, yet food stores and clothing stores both reported record proportions of internet retail at 5.8% and 18.2% respectively.
