Apparel and footwear in France is seeing an overall volume slump in 2023, while value is supported by inflation pushing up unit prices, thus giving an artificial perspective of positive performance. Whilst we did see a robust volume uptick in the mid-2021 to end-2022 period, this was more of a rebalancing effect following the 2019-2020 crash due to the pandemic. Since then, volume has continued to struggle due to several factors.
