- Appliances: sales continued to normalize with a drop in market volumes while the average sale price continued to rise;

- Editorial products: books continued to post good growth driven by the autumn literary season and the Culture Pass as well as video and audio which were boosted by momentum in vinyl sales;

- Growth of services thanks to the Darty Max roll out and the ongoing recovery of ticketing.
