Zoomable Statistic: Select the range in the chart you want to zoom in on.
* Figures are value sales (amount spent), seasonally adjusted. Figures have been rounded. Value (amount spent): The value estimates reflect the total turnover that businesses have collected over a standard period. Seasonally adjusted: Seasonally adjusted estimates are derived by estimating and removing calendar effects (for example Easter moving between March and April) and seasonal effects (for example, increased spending in December as a result of Christmas) from the non-seasonally adjusted (NSA) estimates.
