Australia Retail Statistics

澳大利亚零售业统计数据

Christmas shopping helped generate an uplift of +53.2% in Month-on-Month traffic into Australian stores in December, while the Year-on-Year picture was little changed from 2016.  Australian households are under high levels of debt pressure, which is likely to have fuelled the success of festive price promotions across the country, according to Business Insider.

去年12月，圣诞节购物带动了澳大利亚商店的销量，客流量月环比增长了53.2％，与去年平分秋色。据Business Insider网站报道，澳大利亚家庭承受着较大的债务压力，这可能推动了全国各地节日促销活动的成功。

Amazon’s launch into Australia in late November did not have the immediate negative impact that some local retailers were concerned about, according to the Australian Financial Review. The industry continues to closely monitor the impact.

据澳大利亚金融评论报的相关报道，亚马逊于11月下旬进入澳大利亚市场，但并没有对此前十分担忧的当地零售商产生直接的负面影响。零售行业将持续密切关注其所带来的影响。

日本零售业统计数据

Japanese stores and malls have enjoyed a healthy +2.5% increase in traffic for the year. However, December proved a challenging month with Year-on-Year traffic in negative territory.

France Retail Statistics

December saw brisk trade in French stores with Month-on-Month traffic up +23.5%, although 2016’s bumper December proved hard to match.

Poland Retail Statistics

波兰零售业统计数据

Year-on-Year shopper visits declined slightly in December, with Poland playing catch up after 2016’s good Christmas performance. Traffic may also have been affected by the Polish preference for saving shopping sprees until January sales. A KPMG survey found that nearly 90% of Polish consumers opt for bargain shopping during post-Christmas sales.

12月份消费者数量与去年同期相比略有下降，继2016年圣诞节的亮眼表现之后，波兰的零售销售额持续增长。客流量也可能受到波兰人喜欢在1月份之前进行疯狂购物的影响。一项KPMG调查发现，近90％的波兰消费者会选择在圣诞节之后购买打折商品。

Looking ahead, the business community is hopeful that the Polish government’s new stance of judicial independence, signed into effect by President Andrzej Duda in early December, will not slow down economic growth or consumer confidence in the country.

展望未来，商界人士希望，波兰政府在12月初由Andrzej Duda总统签署的司法独立的新立场，不会减缓经济增长或打击消费者信心。
