The Census and Statistics Department announced that the value of total retail sales in February 2024, provisionally estimated at $33.8 billion, increased by 1.9% YoY, compared with the market expectation of a 4.8% YoY rise. The revised estimate of the value of total retail sales in January 2024 increased by 0.9% YoY. For the first two months of 2024 taken together, it was provisionally estimated that the value of total retail sales increased by 1.4% YoY.

Of the total retail sales value in February 2024, online sales accounted for 6.9%. The value of online retail sales in that month, provisionally estimated at $2.3 billion, decreased by 9.9% YoY. The revised estimate of online retail sales in January 2024 decreased by 21.2% YoY. For the first two months of 2024 taken together, it was provisionally estimated that the value of online retail sales decreased by 15.9% YoY.

After netting out the effect of price changes over the same period, the provisional estimate of the volume of total retail sales in February 2024 increased by 0.5% YoY. The revised estimate of the volume of total retail sales in January 2024 decreased by 1.2% YoY. For the first two months of 2024 taken together, the provisional estimate of the total retail sales decreased by 0.4% in volume YoY.

A government spokesperson said that taking the first two months of 2024 together, the value of retail sales rose modestly over a year earlier.

Looking ahead, the spokesperson added that as handling capacity continues to recover and more mega events are staged, inbound tourism is expected to revive further and benefit the retail sector. Rising household income and the Government's initiatives in boosting consumption sentiment should also provide support, though changes in consumption patterns of residents and visitors will continue to pose challenges.
