As the Covid-19 pandemic leaves the world's biggest economies shaken and puts many European countries in lockdown, shoppers in the United Kingdom (UK) flocked to the supermarkets in the first week of March, 2020, leading to great surges in the sales growth of several non-edible consumer goods products. Compared to the sales value recorded in the same week of the previous year, paper products saw the greatest jump with **** percent growth in the week ending March 8, 2020. As the weeks progressed, year-over-year sales growth figures fared around normal figures.
