Amaqoqo asentwasahlobo namaphromoshini abe nomthelela ekwenyukeni kwevolumu yokuthengiswa kwezitolo zezingubo zase-UK ngo-1.7% ngoFebhuwari, ngokwezibalo zakamuva zeHhovisi Likazwelonke Lezibalo ngemuva kokwehla okuphindaphindiwe ezinyangeni ezedlule.
I-ONS ithe amanani okuthengiswa kwezitolo okungezona ezokudla (inani lomnyango, izingubo zokugqoka, izitolo zasendlini nezinye okungezona ezokudla) akhuphuke ngo-0.7% phakathi nenyanga kuya kuFebhuwari 2024, kodwa ehle ngo-0.5% ngonyaka.
Kodwa-ke, iphinde yagqamisa ukuthi ukwanda okukhulu kwezitolo okungezona ezokudla kungenxa yokwenyuka kwanyanga zonke ngo-1.7% ezitolo zezingubo, kulandela ukuwa kwanyanga zonke kwakamuva.
Amavolumu okuthengiswa kwezitolo e-UK (inani elithengiwe) alinganiselwa ukuthi ayisicaba (0.0%) ngoFebhuwari, kulandela ukwanda ngo-3.6% ngoJanuwari 2024 (okubuyekezwe kusuka ekwenyukeni ngo-3.4%).
Ngaleso sikhathi ukuthengiswa kwe-inthanethi kubone ukwanda okukhulu kokuthengiswa kusukela ngoJulayi 2023 njengoba isimo sezulu esimanzi sithinte ukwehla kwezinyawo.
Ukuthengiswa kwezingubo zase-UK kuthokozela ukuphakanyiswa ngoFebhuwari
Abathengisi bezingubo ikakhulukazi babike ukuthengiswa okuqinile ku-inthanethi kuyilapho izitolo ezinkulu kanye nezitolo zempahla yasendlini kuyizo kuphela izigatshana ezimbili lapho amanani okuthengisa ehla ngenyanga.
Lokhu kwenyuka kwanyanga zonke kokuthengiswayo okuku-inthanethi kuholele ekwenyukeni kwenani lokuthengiswa okwenziwa ku-inthanethi, kusuka ku-25.1% ngoJanuwari 2024 kuya ku-25.7% ngoFebhuwari 2024.
USilvia Rindone, EY UK&I Retail Lead ugqamise ukuthi amanani okuthengiswa kwezingubo abone izinga lokukhula futhi waphakamisa ukwethulwa kwamaqoqo amasha entwasahlobo kanye nokukhushulwa okubambe iqhaza kulokhu ngamanani okuthengisa ezitolo ezinkulu nakwezinye izitolo okungezona ezokudla ezikhula ngo-1.6% no-0.4%.
Kodwa-ke, wengeze wathi: “Ngemuva kwenyanga eqinile ngoJanuwari, ukuthengiswa kokudla kwehle ngo-0.3% ngoFebhuwari, isimo sezulu esingesihle sibalule njengesizathu sokwehla kwentengo yezitolo.
Umqondisi wokuqonda weBritish Retail Consortium u-Kris Hamer usole isimo sezulu sangoFebhuwari esinemvula kunazo zonke emlandweni ngokuncipha kwesidingo kanye nokwehla kwengcindezi: “Lokhu kuzwakale kakhulu ezigabeni zamathikithi aphezulu njengefenisha nogesi. Ngaleso sikhathi, izimonyo nezindlu zangasese ziqhubekile nokuthengisa kahle njengoba izinhlobo ezidumile zisuka emandleni ziye emandleni. Abathengisi banethemba lokuthi ngesimo sezulu esishisayo kanye nokwehla kwezinga lenzalo ekhoneni, ukuzethemba kwabathengi kuzobuya maduze.”
Umqondisi wamasu okudayisa we-CI&T uMelissa Minkow uveze ukuthi njengoba ukwehla kwamandla emali kuzokwehla ngo-3.4% kanye nesimo sezulu esishisayo emkhathizwe umkhakha wezokudayisa wase-UK kufanele ugqame ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezizayo.
Nokho, washesha ukwengeza: “Akufanele silindele ushintsho olusheshayo nolubalulekile ekuziphatheni kwezindleko. Abathengi cishe bazohlala beqaphela izindleko esikhathini esizayo esibonakalayo. Abaningi bethu sebejwayele isaphulelo esishubile esikhishwe abathengisi abaningi futhi bazozingela njalo ukuze bakhulise inani ngokuthenga okuwusu.
"Abathengisi abakhuluma ngenani langempela kanye nezinhlobonhlobo ezinhle kakhulu kuzoba yibo abazokholisa abathengi ukuthi bachithe ngaphandle kwemikhiqizo yabo ejwayelekile futhi basabele kulolu shintsho lokwehla kwamandla emali."
U-Hamer we-BRC uthe imboni eqinile yokudayisa ibalulekile ukuze kukhuliswe ukutshalwa kwezimali emadolobheni nasezindaweni zamadolobha, futhi unxuse uHulumeni olandelayo wase-UK ukuthi abhekane nezindleko eziphakeme nezikhuphukayo abathengisi ababhekana nazo, manje nasesikhathini esizayo: “Lokhu kufaka phakathi ukukhuphuka kwamanani ebhizinisi ango-Ephreli 6.7%, iziphakamiso zokuvuselela kabusha ezingacatshangelwa kahle, kanye nezindleko zokulawula umngcele omusha - ukwenyuka kwezindleko ezinkulu kuzwelonke. Ngaphandle kokuthatha isinyathelo, lezi zindleko ziyaqhubeka nokubamba ukutshalwa kwezimali ezitolo, emisebenzini eyengeziwe namanani aphansi ezweni lonke - okusho ukuthi abathengi abagcina bekhokha intengo.”
U-Nick Delis, i-VP ephezulu yebhizinisi lamazwe ngamazwe namasu, u-Five9 ukhuthaza abathengisi ukuthi basebenzise i-AI ukuguqula indlela ababheka ngayo isevisi yamakhasimende ukuya phambili.
Ukholelwa ukuthi maningi amathuba okuba abathengisi bawabheke ngabomvu manje njengoba sekuqhamuke intwasahlobo e-UK, kodwa wathi: “Ngolwazi oluqhutshwa yi-AI kuphela, olunothe ngedatha lapho izinkampani ezithengisayo zizonikwa amandla okuthatha indlela esebenzayo yecebo labo lamakhasimende, elibabeka phambili emqhudelwaneni.”
Izibalo zikaJanuwari ze-ONS zibonise ukuqhubeka kwezindleko zokuphila eziphakeme ezihambisana nesidingo esibuthakathaka sabathengi esinciphile ukuthengisa okunezinga lokushisa elipholile elishaya izingubo zasebusika nezicathulo ezinzima kakhulu.
