Argentina’s retail sector continued its strong upward trajectory in mid-2026, with July retail sales rising 25.8% year-over-year, according to the latest data updated on 23 September 2026. The figure marks a notable acceleration from June 2026, when retail sales had already posted a robust 23.7% increase compared with the same month a year earlier.
The data, measured on a year-over-year basis, indicates that consumer activity strengthened further in July, as the pace of annual growth in sales outstripped that of the previous month. In this methodology, the current reading compares July 2026 retail sales to July 2025, while the previous figure compares June 2026 sales to June 2025.
The back-to-back double-digit gains, and the pickup from June to July, underscore resilient demand in Argentina’s consumer market, with July’s performance reinforcing a trend of solid annual expansion in retail activity.
