After a sudden dip in January, Swedish sport retail increased in February. In current prices, sales increased by 0.2 percent in comparison with February 2010. In constant prices, sales volume increased by 2 percent compared with February 2010. This means that sport sales in constant prices so far have decreased by 4.8 percent this year compared with last year. According to the Retail Institute (HUI), the low demand in the first two months of the year might have been related to high electricity bills and big spending at the end of last year.
