Switzerland’s retail sector showed a moderate pickup in momentum in July 2026, with year-over-year sales rising by 2.3%. This marks an improvement from June 2026, when retail sales increased by 1.9% compared with the same month a year earlier.
The data, updated on 1 September 2026, indicate that consumer spending is strengthening on an annual basis. Both the June and July figures are calculated as year-over-year comparisons, measuring the change in each month relative to the same month in the previous year. The latest reading suggests that Swiss retailers are seeing a slightly firmer demand environment as the summer progresses.
