Elkjøp Nordic has experienced very strong progress throughout the Nordic region in the first half of the 2020/2021 financial year, with double-digit growth in all markets. The strong growth has continued, and for the period 1st Nov – 12th Dec the company boasts an incredible sales growth of 47 %, mainly driven by Black Week sales. So far in the financial year, Elkjøp Nordic has grown by a total of more than NOK 6 billion.
- It has been a very special year, where our customers and society have become far more dependent on technology. Both to maintain personal and professional contact, but also to entertain and amuse ourselves in a difficult time. This clearly gives us tailwind and the entire market increases, but at the same time we take market shares in all markets and increase our Nordic market share from 25.7 to 27.2 %. We are incredibly proud of the fantastic efforts of all our 12,000 employees, across all functions throughout the Nordic region, who have managed to handle such tremendous growth under extraordinary circumstances in an impressive way. Our products, knowledge and services have clearly helped to keep the wheels in motion despite extensive restrictions in people's everyday lives, says Erik G. Sønsterud, Elkjøp Nordic CEO.
