Swedish clothing and footwear industry is growing rapidly

According to the Swedish “Daily News” report on September 10, the Swedish clothing and footwear industry grew rapidly in August. Compared with the same period last year, clothing sales increased by 26.2%, and shoes sales increased by 26.2%. Category sales increased by 22.5%, and it is expected that the lifting of epidemic restrictions will bring a new wave of boost. Mats Hedenström, director of economic policy at the Swedish Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Svensk Handel), said that e-commerce sales in the clothing and footwear industry are not as good as physical stores. It is estimated that the total amount of foreign products purchased by Swedes through e-commerce is three times the export sales of Swedish companies through e-commerce. .
