According to a recent report by the British “Guardian”, the warming of the global climate has caused the sales of autumn clothing in the UK to fall to the lowest point in September. The sales growth is the lowest month this year, and clothing retailers have suffered heavy losses.
Year-on-year, clothing sales fell by 0.7% in September. However, compared with physical stores, online shopping is showing a growth trend, which also makes up for the losses of physical stores. Data show that excluding food, online shopping in the UK increased by 13.4% in September. In addition, British consumers are very rational in their shopping behavior and will only buy thicker clothes when the temperature drops, which has hit the clothing retail industry.
Economists recently said that it is too early to believe that the British economy has picked up. There are still risks in the sales market, both domestically and abroad.
