Se trata de estudiar que factor está afectando negativamente a las ventas de determinados productos de consumo, concretamente de bebidas. En este contexto:
"Las ventas siguen afectadas por un factor de caída. Pero, desde el 10 de noviembre, éste factor se ha frenado, por lo que las ventas se han recuperado."
De momento interpreto lo siguiente:
"Sales continue to be affected by a fall factor. But since November 10, this factor has slowed down, so that sales have recovered."
"Las ventas siguen afectadas por un factor de caída. Pero, desde el 10 de noviembre, éste factor se ha frenado, por lo que las ventas se han recuperado."
De momento interpreto lo siguiente:
"Sales continue to be affected by a fall factor. But since November 10, this factor has slowed down, so that sales have recovered."

BTW I do NOT agree that "downturn" is "too colloquial"; au contraire, mon frère. However, I do agree with FSV's comment on it.

declining trend
Remember the "sales continue to be affected by a XXXXXX" does "downturn", "slump", "drop", etc...fit in well in place of XXXXX? AND fit in with the next sentence as FVS points out??
