Sales fell in four of the seven subsectors. The food, beverage, and tobacco subsector declined 1.5% to C$16.0 billion, driven by lower sales in the food industry group (-1.5%). The personal and household goods subsector also contracted, with sales down 0.6% to C$13.1 billion. Within the category, the pharmaceuticals industry posted the largest decline, falling 3.1%. The overall weakness was partly offset by a 14.2% increase in the non-agricultural chemical and allied products industry group, which lifted the miscellaneous subsector by 2.2%.
