Fairs
Our fairs in the second half the year our experience with Tendence in Frankfurt, Trendset in Munich and Nordstil in Hamburg was, that they attracted less visitors than in spring. Also Maison & Objet is in summer is very much different to January. These Fairs are mirroring the Retail Market in Germany, wich is constantly decreasing due to the amount of Retailers.
BUT
Retail:
The German Trade Association (HDE) raises its annual forecast for 2019 to +3.2 percent. Reason is the continued stable consumer sentiment. In the upcoming Christmas business, the HDE expects a sales increase of three percent in comparison.
In the upcoming Christmas business, the HDE expects a sales increase of three percent compared to the previous year. For the last two months of the year, the association expects sales to increase by three percent to just over € 102 billion. This means that revenues will increase by three billion compared to the previous year and reach the 100 billion euro mark in November and December. The online sales will be close to 15 billion euros in the Christmas business, which corresponds to a year-on-year increase of just under eleven percent.
However, the current HDE trend survey among 250 retail companies also shows that retailers’ expectations of the year-end spurt are very different. “Smaller companies are much more restrained, while larger retailers assume that the majority of businesses are doing better than last year,” says HDE Chief Executive Stefan Genth.
