November Brings Floral Dollar and Unit Growth
Despite the federal government shutdown and pressure on income for many, floral sales continued to accelerate in November. Dollars gains were boosted by inflation and demand growth. Roses and bouquets were instrumental in securing sales and growth.
Retail Floral Sales in the Latest Four and 52 Weeks
November, including the Thanksgiving holiday, generated $635 million in floral sales, about $85 million more than October. This signals a clear holiday-driven lift. Inflation combined with growing demand pushed dollar sales up 8.1% year-over-year, while unit sales increased by 2.1%.
This strong dollar and unit performance helped improve the 52-week outlook. Annual floral sales exceeded $10 billion, up 5.7% year-over-year. While unit sales remain slightly below year-ago levels, the gap continues to narrow and now stands at -1.3%.
