Switzerland’s retail sector ended 2025 on a stronger footing, with year-over-year sales growth accelerating to 2.9% in December, up from 1.7% in November. The latest data, updated on 2 February 2026, indicate that consumer demand strengthened notably at the close of the year.
Both figures reflect annual comparisons, measuring changes against the same month a year earlier. The pickup from November’s 1.7% to December’s 2.9% suggests improving momentum in Swiss retail activity, highlighting a more robust finish to 2025 for consumer-facing businesses. Investors and analysts will be watching upcoming releases closely to see whether this acceleration marks the start of a sustained trend in domestic consumption.
