COVID-19 had a mixed impact on retailing in Japan in 2020, although overall value sales declined as consumers curbed their spending in response to the crisis. Despite this, supermarkets, the largest channel in value terms, witnessed stronger growth in 2020 having seen sales stagnate prior to the outbreak of COVID-19. This was largely due to the home seclusion seen in 2020, with government advising against making non-essential trips outside the home.
