Strong January sales figures lead to promising start


January sales volumes were up by 2.3% on 2016 levels according to EPOS data analysis by GTN Bestsellers. That’s a promising start to the year but it’s only equal to the average January sales for the preceding six years and 7% down on the peak January of 2015.

With January accounting for only 5% of annual sales the only conclusion we can make is that there is potential for a good year. We’ll be able to make better predictions in March and April.

GTN Bestsellers Top 50 sales volumes compared to the same week last year...
  • Garden Products - up 2%
  • Veg-2-Gro - down 20%
  • Growing Media - up 4%
  • All Items Index - down 3%
