Different industries have been impacted in various ways by the COVID-19 pandemic. Initially, retail trade was one of the hardest hit by public health restrictions, but in recent months, retail business sentiment has improved significantly. This paper presents a portrait of the pandemic's impact on businesses in retail trade and the expectations of these businesses moving forward. It involves an examination of the data produced by the Canadian Survey on Business Conditions.

Description:

Statistics Canada's annual retail trade surveys are undergoing changes. Two activities underlie these changes. The re-design of our annual retail trade questionnaires is one. The other is the conversion from the 1980 Standard Industrial Classification (1980 SIC) to the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS). These activities will have significant impacts on the output of the annual surveys.

This paper has two goals. The first is to inform retail store data users, industry analysts, trade associations and other stakeholders about these changes. The second is to consult with stakeholders on possible data outputs resulting from the changes.

The paper is organized into five parts. Following the introduction, Part II describes the outputs from the current surveys and compares and contrasts the current outputs with the new. Part III focuses on the introduction of NAICS codes and the changes in coverage for retail trade. In Part IV, the benefits resulting from the above changes are outlined. The final part (Part V) seeks comments or suggestions from data users, retail trade associations and industry specialists on the release of data products as a result of the changes to the surveys.

Description: The Monthly Survey of Large Retailers (LMR) provides a breakdown of national retail sales on the basis of commodities for a panel of about 70 large retail enterprises. Unadjusted sales data for more than 140 commodities are available on a monthly basis.

Description: Note: As of the 2008 reference year, these data are collected through the Annual Wholesale Trade Survey (record #2445). The wholesale trade sector comprises establishments primarily engaged in wholesaling merchandise and providing related logistics, marketing and support services. The wholesale process is generally an intermediate step in the distribution of merchandise; many wholesalers are therefore organized to sell merchandise in large quantities to retailers, and business and institutional clients. However, some wholesalers, in particular those that supply non-consumer capital goods, sell merchandise in single units to final users. In recent years, there has been a growing need for better inter-provincial/territorial detail and more commodity-specific information, largely due to free trade, increased international marketing and increased global competition. There are a variety of organizations, sector associations and levels of government who make use of the information provided. Wholesalers can use survey results to compare their financial performance against the average for similar types of businesses as well as for marketing purposes, to help determine market share and help to examine trends in sources and destination of goods. Wholesale associations are better able to monitor industry growth and promote their wholesale industries. Investors may be better able to monitor industry performance, which could result in better access to investment capital by wholesalers. Governments will be better able to understand the role of wholesalers in the economy, which will aid in the development of labour force policies and tax incentives. The data is an important input to the provincial trade flows and the generation of balanced provincial input-output tables and the articulation of provincial Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
