Catalan term or phrase: Consum Cíclic
I got zero hits for "cyclic consumption sector" and only 3 (of which I may have translated one) for "cyclical consumption sector" in Google. Any ideas?

" ... mentre que els sectors de Consum Cíclic, Salut i Financer van finalitzar el mes amb retrocessos superiors al 3%."

"El pitjor comportament relatiu el van tenir els sectors de Matèries Primeres (-8.61%) i de Consum Cíclic (-8.41%) perjudicat per les darreres dades econòmiques que indiquen una desacceleració del cicle."

Cyclical consumption
Explanation:
I had some more Google hits than 3.

‘Cyclical consumption’ particularly refers to the consumption
phenomenon where items of material culture pass between owners – from the first cycle of exchange
(new goods) into the second cycle (second-hand) and beyond (even third or forth hand) – and indeed
these items may be ‘churned’ through the exchange process over and over again because of their
item characteristics. This is driven by the cycles of attachment each owner has for the items (and
fashion cycles within that which partially drive attachment).

Notes to answerer
Asker: Yes, but you left off the word "sector" in your seearch, and the author always refers to it as sector (or segment), and this doesn't seem to correspond to English - the cyclical consumption part is fine until you refer to it as a sector. I have called it that up until now, but I think there must be another name, or maybe it's just the author who uses this term oddly. Thanks for the help in any case.
