Australian retail turnover rose 16.9 per cent in May 2020, seasonally adjusted, according to the latest Australian
Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Retail Trade figures. Online sales contributed 10.1 per cent to total retail turnover,
four percentage points higher than the 6.2 per cent seen in May 2019.
The gradual easing of social distancing regulations, and the re-opening of physical stores, bolstered retail trade in
May across the states. There were rises in New South Wales (16.5 per cent), Victoria (17.2 per cent), Queensland
(16.6 per cent), Western Australia (19.7 per cent), South Australia (16.1 per cent), Tasmania (17.3 per cent), the
Australian Capital Territory (12.2 per cent), and the Northern Territory (8.1 per cent) .
There were large month-on-month rises in clothing, footwear and personal accessory retailing (129.2 per cent), and
cafes, restaurants and takeaway food services (30.3 per cent). Levels in these industries remain well below the same
time last year. Food retailing (7.2 per cent), household goods retailing (16.6 per cent), department stores (44.4 per
cent) and other retailing (9.4 per cent) all recorded month-on-month rises in seasonally adjusted terms and are now
at levels well above the same time last year. Retailers reported themes of continued spend on home improvements
and high demand for recreational goods.
