Apparel and footwear in Norway is expected to see a decline in retail volume terms and a modest current value sales increase in 2023, boosted by inflation and rising unit prices. The notably lower growth in 2023 follows two years of growth, which saw sales surpass pre-pandemic levels, and a correction is therefore not unexpected. A notable and prolonged period of discounting during the summer of 2023 counteracted some of the current value growth resulting from inflation.
