Description

Since May 2021, COVID-19 infections have been spreading rapidly in Taiwan. In cooperation with the Kantar World Panel, Intage has been compiling and disseminating weekly consumption trends and channel-specific trends of the FMCG category in Taiwan, which is suffering from the COVID-19. This report shows the total number of purchases and the amount of money spent per purchase in the beginning & mid of July, using the week of April 18, before the spread of the disease, as the base (=100). (The figures are preliminary and unweighted.) The report is available until the July 25, 2021 edition. Check the latest report from here.

Summary

COVID-19 has been under control in Taiwan since July. Overall daily consumer goods traffic declined, but per-purchase value increased, driven by e-commerce. By channel, Supermarkets and hypermarkets traffic declined, but Supermarkets' per-purchase value remained at 15% to 20% higher than before COVID-19. EC traffic remained at a high level, and the amount of money spent per purchase is on the rise. Convenience stores are also maintaining a high level of purchase value per purchase. EC spend per purchase is increasing, mainly in beverages, and personal care is also showing recovery. Due to the COVID-19 slowdown, this report will be updated bi-weekly. The next update is scheduled for August 23.
