Hong Kong’s retail sector saw a slowdown in year-over-year growth in April 2026, with retail sales rising 8.6% compared to the same month a year earlier. This marks a deceleration from March 2026, when sales jumped 12.8% on an annual basis, according to data updated on 2 June 2026.
The figures indicate that while consumer spending in Hong Kong continues to expand on a yearly comparison, the pace of growth has moderated from the strong momentum recorded in March. Both the current and previous readings are measured against the corresponding months a year earlier, highlighting a continued but easing recovery trend in the city’s retail landscape.
