Having declined sharply during 2020 as a result of the pandemic, retailing constant value sales (2021 prices) recovered only partially in 2021. In spite of the fact that restrictions on movement were significantly relaxed, many local consumers remained cautious in their spending. Modern grocery retailers continued to gain ground on their traditional counterparts, as the former are generally favoured by more affluent local consumers, who were more insulated from the pandemic’s economic fallout.
