Mexico’s retail sector showed stronger momentum in June 2026, with year-on-year sales growth rising to 2.7%, up from 1.6% recorded in May 2026. The data, updated on 21 August 2026, indicate a noticeable pickup in consumer activity compared with the same period a year earlier.
Measured on a year-over-year basis, June’s figure reflects a faster pace of expansion in retail spending than in the previous month, suggesting an improvement in underlying demand. While May’s 1.6% increase already pointed to a positive trend, June’s 2.7% gain underscores an acceleration in growth as households and businesses continued to spend more than they did in June of the prior year.
The comparison framework shows that both May and June 2026 outperformed their respective months a year earlier, but June’s stronger reading highlights building momentum in Mexico’s domestic consumption heading into the second half of the year.
