In October, for the first time this year, all Selectivv indices fell sharply. The last time such a situation occurred at the turn of the year. Measuring and analyzing the dynamics of changes in visits at selected retail outlets reflects the most current purchasing behavior of Poles and actual trends in the economy.
The value of Selectivv Trade indicator amounted to 100.21 points in October and decreased by -2.81% compared to the data from September. This is the first major decrease over a longer period of time when we have seen a fairly regular increase in the indicator. However, the volume of visits at the measured retail outlets is still greater than at the beginning of the year, when the value of Selectivv Trade Index was 96.69 points.
Grocery discount stores in cities below 300 thousand residents and grocery stores in cities up to 20 thousand residents are the only components of #SelHANDEL that did not record any decline in October. In the first case the indicator increased by 0.24% to 99.84 points, and in the second by 1.01% to 100.14 points compared to September. In particular, shopping centers in cities with up to 300 thousand residents recorded a significant decrease in the number of visits by -5.21% and hypermarkets in these cities by -6.51%. In both cases, the indicator values recorded the lowest level in comparison with other measured locations. For shopping centers it is 89.97 points, and for hypermarkets only 80.80 points. In January this year the value for both indicators was 97.13 and 97.47 points, respectively.
Index Selectivv Handel is based on data from 310 randomly selected commercial facilities monitored by Geotrapping® technology. For the analysis, we selected shopping malls, hypermarkets, discount stores in large and smaller cities, as well as grocery and industrial stores in cities up to 20,000. residents.
We see a lower tendency to visit selected locations, and thus probably also to consume Poles, when visiting gas stations. The value of Selectivv Index Stations in October was 108.06 points. After a record high in September 111.65, the index value decreased by -3.21%. Still, comparing year-to-year data, the value is higher by 6.75%.
The Selectivv Stations index is calculated on the basis of the number of visits to 131 gas stations located throughout the country. Selected points in large centers such as Warsaw, Wrocław and Katowice, as well as in smaller towns, are monitored.
The value of Index Selectivv Foreign Tourism after five months of systematic increases, recorded a fairly large drop to 101.00 points. #SelTURYSTYKA reached a value similar to that one which was noted before the holidays, i.e. in June this year. When comparing year-to-year data, the value of the index increased by 2.66%.
Index Selectivv Tourism 10 for the selected ten nationalities at the end of October amounted to 103.90 points, which is 0.46% more than in September. We observed a greater number of visits from citizens from countries such as Germany, China and Turkey, and a fairly large decrease in visits of Poland by Russians by -4.33% and Ukrainians by -1.21%.
The Selectivv Foreign Tourism Index includes data on foreign tourists visiting Poland. The groups of users who stayed in our country from 3 to 21 days were taken into account (in order to distinguish a tourist from a person who is on a business trip and foreigners coming to our country in search of work).
