日本主要超市7月销售额同比下降1%，消费者节俭意识持续
据日本连锁店协会最新调查结果显示，全国主要超市7月销售额为1万598亿日元，与去年同期相比下降1%。这是继今年2月之后，日本主要超市单月销售额再次出现同比下降。
调查显示，尽管食品销售额同比增长0.9%，但服装销售额却大幅下降10.1%。受酷暑天气影响，人们外出和逛商店的频率下降，导致服装整体销售低迷。此外，受恶劣天气影响，土豆、洋葱等农产品价格上涨，推高了食品销售额。
家居产品销售额同比增长4.9%，主要得益于空调、电风扇等家电销售向好。高温天气促使消费者购买更多降温设备，带动了相关产品销量增长。
日本连锁店协会分析称，超市销售额下降的主要原因是消费者注重节俭的偏好仍在持续，以及今年7月份的周六和周日各比去年同月少一天。
消费者节俭意识的持续，反映出日本经济面临的压力。近年来，日本物价持续上涨，消费者支出受到抑制，导致零售业整体销售疲软。
此外，今年7月份的周六和周日各比去年同月少一天，也对超市销售额造成了一定影响。周末是超市客流量最大的时间段，少一天周末意味着销售额的潜在损失。
尽管7月销售额出现下降，但日本连锁店协会表示，预计未来几个月超市销售额将有所回升。随着天气转凉，人们外出和逛商店的频率将有所增加，服装销售额有望回升。此外，秋季节庆临近，预计食品和家居产品销售也将出现增长。
总体而言，日本主要超市7月销售额下降，反映出日本经济面临的挑战和消费者节俭意识的持续。但随着季节变化和节庆临近，预计未来几个月超市销售额将有所回升。

Japanese Supermarkets See 1% Decline in Sales in July, Reflecting InflationPressure
Keywords: supermarkets, decline, 1%
Content:
Japanese major supermarkets saw a 1% year-on-year decline in sales in July, according to the latest survey by the Japan Chain Stores Association.This marks the second consecutive month of decline in sales for major supermarkets after February.
While food sales rose 0.9% year-on-year,clothing sales plummeted by 10.1%. The scorching summer weather discouraged people from going out and shopping, leading to a slump in overall clothing sales. Additionally, soaring prices for agricultural products such as potatoes and onions due to adverse weatherconditions pushed up food sales.
Homeware sales increased by 4.9% year-on-year, mainly driven by strong sales of air conditioners and electric fans. The hot weather prompted consumers to buy more cooling equipment, boosting salesof related products.
The Japan Chain Stores Association attributed the decline in supermarket sales primarily to the ongoing preference for thrift among consumers and the fact that July this year had one fewer Saturday and Sunday compared to last year.
The persistent frugality among consumers reflects the pressure facing the Japanese economy. In recent years, Japanhas experienced persistent price increases, curbing consumer spending and leading to overall weakness in the retail sector.
Furthermore, the reduced number of Saturdays and Sundays in July this year also had a negative impact on supermarket sales. Weekends are typically peak periods for supermarket traffic, and the loss of a weekend day translates into potential saleslosses.
Despite the decline in July sales, the Japan Chain Stores Association expects supermarket sales to rebound in the coming months. As the weather cools down, people are expected to go out and shop more frequently, leading to a potential recovery in clothing sales. Additionally, the approaching autumn festivals are expected to boost sales of foodand homeware products.
Overall, the decline in sales at major Japanese supermarkets in July reflects the challenges facing the Japanese economy and the persistence of consumer frugality. However, with seasonal changes and upcoming festivals, supermarket sales are expected to rebound in the coming months.
